Answer 1

I do believe you need to research this topic more extensively, but I will hit on your points.

1)Flags are everywhere but i do not see how this is a bad thing. But I guess your point would be like Venezuela and how all the flags are hung there?? I do not know.

2) Well this is the most free county ever. Or I have brainwashed real good.

3) Well Liberals have identified George W Bush as the enemy?

4) This is fine by me.

5) Yeah actually i agree cause I have seen the garbage that is put on TV (MTV, BET). The massive amount of porn in my spam folders.

6) Liberals surely do have a lockdown on this

7) Well I do believe a country has a right to protect itself. However I do agree closing the boarders 100% is not the answer.

8.) This is definitely a huge issue in America and liberals are to blame. What Liberals seem to avoid is this very agenda of theirs is Socialism.

9) Oh its been that way for a long time.

10) i disagree but whatever

11) I agree that liberals have taking a big stance against anything that has religion representation. Again socialism

12.) I agree that america has an obsession. Cops, america's most wanted, Court Tv etc etc. But i am sure its not a bad thing to a point. But once people become afraid to go outside cause they dont know whats legal anymore than thats fascism.

13) agreed to some extent.

14) Hillary Clinton where are you. by the way that is socialism another liberal idea?

I find t funny some of these points are pointing to Liberalism or do I mean the NEW socialism?

Answer 2

Of course not. All of your arguments have simple explnations.
1. The flags are flown by a proud and patriotic public
2. America stands FOR human rights, just ask the children in other countries that toil 12 hours a day just to make the equivalent of $1.00
3. Do you not try to identify your enemies?
4. We are being attacked we MUST have a strong military to protect ourselves.
5. Sexism; most other nations look down on their women and treat them like property not human beings. In America a woman can do as she pleases, can become anything she wanst to be.
6. Are you saying that the state television and radio and newspapers of other nations are all free to report anything that they wish?
7. You would have us ignor national securty and let the crazies just walk in and take over?
8. Religion is not being forced out of our nation, the constution plainly states that the state will not promote one religion over another. To that end the government promotes none, the people are free to worship as they see fit.
9. America at present is a two party nation, one party protects the corporate world while the other stands for labor,
10. See above
11. Every year more and more mony is pumped into the educational system. The arts also recieve support from the government in the form of grants.
12. If you are not worried about crime and punishment then you will live in a nation of crime.
13. Cronyism and corruption is a part of human nature, no country is immune.
14. Most industrealized nations have some form of universal health care except America.

Now if you want to insult an American try to get your facts right.

Answer 3

1 why the hell would flyeing the US flag be a sign of fascism?
2 what???!!! there are new human rights laws every year
3 common enemies unify every country?
4 the military should be superior if not when you are attacked you lose?
5 sexism is not fascism it is ignorance.
6 who is controlling the mass media? we have the FCC but they do not control every thing they only have actual control over what is broadcast. and even then their power is too far reaching.
7 national security is pretty damn important. hence the reason every man and woman is required to serve in the military in Switzerland and they are a neutral nation.
8 this i actully agree with you on.
9 corporate power should be protected one corporation can create thousands of jobs.
10 labor power is suppressed by the influx of cheap labor from south of the border.
11 one mans art is another's trash. it should be protected but it does not need to be cherished. i am sorry "piss christ' was supposed to be art but it was nothing more than a childish attempt to irritate people because the artist had an issue with christianity. it was a jar of urine and a jesus statue that is not art. it is propaganda.
12 crime should be punished. why would that be a bad thing to punish the guilty?
13 i do not even know where to begin with this one.
14 again i actually agree. universal health care is the start of the demise of liberty.

i am not sure you really know what fascism is. maybe you shoudl actually research it a little more.

Answer 4

1) Flags are not synonymous with fascism.
2) No country has better protection of human rights.
3) Identifying enemies is easy when they tell you who they are.
4) National Defense is a Constitutional requirement.
5) Sexism? Not in this country.
6) Socialism not fascism.
7) See number 4
8) Socialism not fascism.
9) Corporations are legitimate businesses owned by the public.
10) Labor unions are responsible for the recently passed increase in the minimum wage, my friend.
11) Disdain for socialism and garbage trying to pass as art.
12) Obsession? That doesn't even make sense.
13) Cronyism and corruption exist and should be dealt with but it is not "rampant". If you want to see rampant look to South America.
14) Universal health care by the federal government is unconstitutional.

Answer 5

one million.envoke a terrifying interior and outside enemy - I agree liberals are doing this to any one who thinks on their possess. two create a gulag - Gulag used to be a bloodless climate jail wherein men and women could starve till they died or bought shot. I accumulate you confer with the GITMO detention core. In this example is in a hot atmosphere, wherein you get to prefer your possess meals founded in your racial and devout ideals. three broaden a thug caste - This is correct CODE PINK, ACLU and others are thugs and will have to be stopped. We have the correct to an opinion and lifestyle but if those businesses give up that then is unhealthy. SO i agree we have now a THUG caste. four mounted an interior surveillance process - I Agree we have now an in interior surveillance process. Some of the liberal towns on this nation corresponding to New York, have cameras at intersections that list you registration number plate while you pass a pink gentle. So sure we have now a few interior surveillance on this nation. Another instance is LIberal towns having cameras in Public transportation buses incidentally. LA, NY, SF are a few. five harass residents' businesses - Very actual additionally once more equal men and women as stated earlier than ACLU harrasses church's, personal golf equipment like Boy scouts always. 6 interact in arbitrary detention and liberate - I have on no account been stopped arbitrarily, however perhaps any person else has.

Some devout leaders as good. eight manage the clicking - I couldnt agree extra, Liberals manage all press besides for FOX information and a couple of Radio Programs. nine dissent equals treason. - I agree dissent equals treason. 10 droop rule of legislation. - Now this i dont agree. if this used to be the case we wouldnt be having congresional hearings on the whole lot republicans do now. I suppose that is the one one i disagree with you on.

Answer 6

The term is statism--public fantasies promulgated from Washington by people who claim totalitarian "public powers" over individuals--not because they work or are necessary but because they as 'leaders' want to be considered inerrable--infallible--and to have everyone
else be an obedient physical slave and silenced mind under their pragmatic--impractical tyranny.
Yes, it's happened here; it's been happening since 1902, th year when public interest dictate making" was announced in place of "rights-based legal regulation drawing". The year the state's tyranny replaced individual liberties.
Officially, the pseudo-religious totalitarian state began
in 1994, when the Renaissance Age (1470--1994) was declared over by its opponents and its admirers. With
the end of the Enlightenment, the pace of collectivization--ignoring of reality, construction of an alternate reality of public bureaucracies and presidential powers--was greatly accelerated.

Answer 7

Read the Planks of Communism and then decide whether or not it is by comparison becoming a fascist nation. Blind obedience is another animal! Anyone attempting to restrict the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Amendments of the Bill of Rights is a Fascist. House Bill 254 is another example of it. This bill is being sponsored by Rep Sheila Jackson-Lee of TX.

There is nothing wrong with being Patriotic and displaying love of one's country!

Socialism is Marxism, anyone who wants Imminent domain is fascist. Owning property is one of the building blocks of a free society. To erase borders and take away the sovereignty of a nation is fascist. Right To Work States take away the rights of workers and we should work to correct it. That is why American Citizens should always be watchful and vigilent to remain a free nation and a democracy!

Answer 8

1 Thats called national pride
2 Do you think there was ever a time when everyone respect human rights?
3 What a basic human social trait, the enemy of my enemy is my friend
4 Yeah so?
5 Rampant sexism where?
6 How would mass media not be controlled?
7 Always has been a concern especially at times of war
8 Forced out? Hmm, maybe IDK about this one
9 More like ownership rights
10 Laborers have been surrendering power willing, what morons
11 Examples please
12 Crime and punishment are fundamentals of all societies
13 Maybe, but it has always been that way
14 Maybe amoung some, but others understand that your person is your responsibility

I think that the Anti-national counter culture would like us to belive this. Man I hate anti-nationals they really need to leave. Go try to unite the world under one all powerful utopian government somewhere else.

In some of these points I think you are giving undue weight.

Answer 9

Individual freedom is the dream of our age. It's what our leaders promise to give us, it defines how we think of ourselves and, repeatedly, we have gone to war to impose freedom around the world. But if you step back and look at what freedom actually means for us today, it's a strange and limited kind of freedom.



Politicians promised to liberate us from the old dead hand of bureaucracy, but they have created an evermore controlling system of social management, driven by targets and numbers. Governments committed to freedom of choice have presided over a rise in inequality and a dramatic collapse in social mobility. And abroad, in Iraq and Afghanistan, the attempt to enforce freedom has led to bloody mayhem and the rise of an authoritarian anti-democratic Islamism. This, in turn, has helped inspire terrorist attacks in Britain. In response, the Government has dismantled long-standing laws designed to protect our freedom.

Answer 10

No.
Look around at The Aliens with self images of standing idols kicking the butts of living human kind in own backyards in planet of apes.
Living human kind do make blunders and slip-ups with human errors and is not perfect in planet of apes.
When we notice the blunders and slip-ups with human errors.
We try to correct the mess we created for ourselves in planet of apes?
So how can that be a Facist in planet of apes.
