The same is true of people within ultra-right wing societies. Dispatching opponents (real or imagined) is a common tactic employed by those who dominate by fear, often in the name of "freedom", which should be read as "freedom for me to kill those I don't agree with, on the grounds that I label them as enemies of the state".

We can call it a start, that is what this thread is for.

I'll make no bones about it. Bush Jr. was bad and some would call right-wing. In reality he was not right-wing but center-left, he had to break the Constitution in order to save the Constitution---LOL!

Barry Obama is Left of left, he ignores the Constitution altogether.

Bush Jr., socialism light. Barry, hard socialism. We are just a few steps from Communism, full blown. China is happy....{smile}

And to you this seems wrong?
I'd love to see the people owning their own resources and the means of production.
Who would better control the economy? The people, through honest and unbought politicians who are accountable directly to those same people, or profiteers working in secrecy in corporate boardrooms where citizens have no input or control in matters of the national economy?

You have no idea of the differences between political systems.
Equating socialism to fascism has to be the most asinine position I've ever seen someone take in these forums.
You are so confused by rhetoric that you make no sense at all.

Why do the most opinionated people seemingly base those opinions on made up facts?
