America’s spiral
Dear editor:
America is unique. The national character built upon after our independence kept us unique. We've changed, and not for the better.
All the fears of the visionary founding Fathers are taking place as they warned. We make much of being like the rest of the world. The rest of the world wanted to be like us, and could not. We are striving ever downward. Systematically we have loosened the binding ties of religion, family units, responsibility, and honor.
We have given it up for comfort and lack of pressure to do what is right. For steady pay and easy work. Cradle to grave rights without cost, without risk, without contribution. All we need do is parrot the regime's talking points and complaints about people who have the audacity to think independently.
Over the last five decades we have followed every step of every socialist, communist and fascist regime in the world. Unlike most, we have not had armed revolution to do so. We simply put people who hate America in charge of teaching our children, writing our laws, and enforcing our laws. It seems a sure path to tenure in a major university is to have been a domestic terrorist. If you make the right connections, you get appointed as an advisor to the President. If you stay in office long enough, you can lie to the public on TV and defy them to do anything about it. Politicians care for each other. Not their constituents. The supreme court was never intended to run the country. Congress is too lazy to do more than pack pork into badly needed bills.
Can we get out of this spiral without a war between the classes, parties, races or come together against a common enemy? Maybe. Not likely, not easy. Nearly impossible. But that's what Americans are about. Doing the impossible. At least we were once. What are we about now? Entertainment? Saving the world at the expense of our own country? We are not the melting pot applauded by our ancestors. We are becoming divided in the name of diversity. Lied to about the necessity of being assimilated into an American culture. The vast majority giving up their proven ethics for the language, customs, lawlessness of the few is not nation building. It is the tearing down of the most admired culture to be replaced by nihilism and hedonism. We were handed a great nation built from great sacrifice. We failed to keep it. Our great experiment may go down in history as a great failure.

I guess I'm even more curious as to what AntiLiberalism's definition is. I mean, if we're going to be throwing words around, it would be nice to know what they're supposed to mean. Whatever a fascist is to AntiLiberalism, it = communist = socialist = liberal. Intriguing.

How, specifically, are cap and trade and "Obamacare" fascistic?

According to Wikipedia: "Fascism, pronounced /'fæ??z?m/, is a political ideology that seeks to combine radical and authoritarian nationalism with a corporatist economic system, and which is usually considered to be on the far right of the traditional left-right political spectrum." I'm struggling here, AntiLiberalism. I'm not sure how I fit into this definition. Please explain this to me.

I have no interest in convincing anybody of anything. I'm not looking to prove anything. If AntiLiberalism wants to be a good boy and talk nice, I'll be a good boy and talk nice back. If he wants to spew bullcrap, compare me to Hitler, and call me slurs, then I have no intention of playing nice in the sandbox. That's not how it works. Any person with a clue can see that he's a dittohead. That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it; if you want to have a negative opinion of me, that's also your prerogative.

"Kaspar. I adjust my "deliery method" as I see fit. I'm the most civil person you'll ever met, but if you hand me garbage I'll hand it back multiplied". You may well be a civil person however I reaally don't see where you have exercised or convinced anyone of that claim. And as for handing out garbage "multiplied" are you stating that you have an issue with control? can't you get your point across without blowing the seal? "I would bet he supports gun control". The only way toknow is to ask him.

Kaspar, I adjust my "delivery method" as I see fit. I'm the most civil person you'll ever meet; but if you hand me garbage, I'll hand it back multiplied. "I would bet he supports gun control." I don't see gun control as a pressing issue...because I don't see guns as the primary driving force behind crime. The answer is closing the gap between rich and poor, not gun control. "Everyone knows chris is a communist and many other things except for chris." I'd ask how I'm a communist, but first things first - you called me a fascist, so I'd really like to know how I'm a fascist. You're obviously way smarter than I am...I can tell by the way you throw around these words. Please, point out the similarities between me and...say, Hitler or Mussolini. I'm all ears.

"No. It's not. I've had debates before, and this is not one of them." Chris - you missed the point- let me put it this way - forums/threads in the Warren paper. "LOL. How do you feel about Antiliberalism method of dlivery?". Stick to the subject - the statement was directed to you, not Antilib". If there was reason for me to comment on Antilibs' "delivery method" or anybody elses delivery then I would comment, and in return I would expect/request decency. As I said earlier "the more you squirm the more the opposition will strike back".

chris is really crying about this one! He is in complete denial about his ideology. He has often stated on here how he supports stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. He supports the government take over of healthcare. I would bet he supports gun control. Everyone knows chris is a communist and many other things except for chris.

"Chris accuses right wingers of sticking together.....like left wingers don't?" I haven't met a rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth liberal who makes wild accusations about conservatives being responsible for gassing J ews. Maybe they exist, and if I run across one, I'll distance myself from that person. Right-wingers, on the other hand, tend to embrace the loons, because the loons are all they have left.

"After all, this is a debate" No. It's not. I've had debates before, and this is not one of them. "it's your method of delivery Chris" LOL! How do you feel about AntiLiberalism's method of delivery? "And chris--a dictionary definition of nazism or any other form of government is just about worthless." I agree - I didn't say look up the definition of Nazism, I said read up on it. "Chris you hate being labeled" I don't mind being labeled. Just get the label right.

And chris--a dictionary definition of nazism or any other form of government is just about worthless. Chris you hate being labeled, yet you feel free to label everybody else. In my book that makes you a shoo in for a liberal.

Whoa, pull back on the reins Chris. Think of it this way for a change - perhaps Antilib' really identifies with Mark Levin to the point where he uses his mode/direction of thought to stress a point. After all, this is a debate - where we exchange viewpoints from so many cross sections of personal experience(s) and reasearch. Your're not intellectually inept Chris, and neither is Antilib'. There are inumerable ways of dealing with people whom constantly berate, belittle and harrass. Think about this for a moment - the more and more that a person squirms about "anything" the more that the opposition will strike - continue to squirm and they pour it on more. I would have to say that most of the posters don't question your subject matter or expertise (once again, at least I don') it's your method of delivery Chris - think about it for awhile - do have aproductive day.

Nor am I trying to impress anybody on online message boards. The main difference between AntiLiberalism and me is that I can form my own opinions, while AntiLiberalism has to rely on Mark Levin's books for everything he says. As much as he claims that I'm a cookie-cut liberal (I'm not...that's absurd), he's as stereotypical a dittohead as one can be. Look at him - he just claimed that liberals killed J ews in the Holocaust. Did you see that, Kaspar? He just called me a fascist. Did you see that, Kaspar? He just made the serious claim that I'm inspired by Hitler. Did you see that, Kaspar? No, because even though he's intellectually inept to the extreme, he's a right-winger, and you all stick together. That's the real problem with the conservative "movement" in America. You don't dump people like AntiLiberalism; you let them spew garbage without ever questioning them, no matter how ridiculous they get. And you wonder why you're going the way of disco. Keep up the

Okay, tough guy, explain to me how I'm a fascist. While you're at it, explain how socialism = communism = fascism. And tell me, how am I responsible for the Holocaust? To quote Mark Levin (sort of)...Get off teh internetz, ya big dope! Or, to quote...YOU: What a clown! The only reason Morrison and the other right-wingers on here aren't telling you to shut up is because, no matter how intellectually inept you are, you're on their side. Nobody thinks you contribute anything to any of these discussions, I can promise you. Nobody's impressed with your rants or your buzzwords or your misguided talking points. Anybody who listens to talk radio has heard them already...anybody who doesn't listen to talk radio just thinks you're stupid.

The problem with liberals is they are Marxists, socialists, fascists, and communists and they think right wingers are the extemists. What a joke. Chris is upset with the fact the he is all of these and they are the people responsible for millions dying in gas chambers. Chris wants people to believe he is a supporter of freedom but he is the opposite. If he wasn't he wouldn't want to steal money from one class of people and give it to another.

"Queen" is a title I hold near and dear to my heart, dear. And of course I believe in free speech. Still, shut up - you're embarrassing yourself and your conservative ilk with your juvenile, Mark Levin-inspired talking points. Do you really think for one minute that anybody here thinks you'er coming up with this garbage on your own? You're a shameless dittohead. Do yourself a favor and learn to form intelligent sentences and structured arguments before you go around posting on teh internetz.
