CONSERVATISM IS THE NEW COMMUNISM
Edited on Sun Oct-02-05 06:14 PM by KingFlorez

SEPTEMBER 19, 2004 – It’s interesting if you listen. A decade of propaganda has so misdefined things that even liberals – who are by now so completely battered they are afraid to use the “liberal” label and instead call themselves “progressives” – echo the nonsensical lies.



“Fiscal conservativism,” says the lie, equals fiscally responsible. “Socially conservative” equals socially responsible and compassionate.

1. The new fascism comes under the conservative banner
This liberal/conservative crap is just a baffling bullshit. When we have a media that calls *Co conservatives, you know we have a problem with matching definitions with words. The liberal/conservative bullshit is a type of Gordian knot. The way to cut that knot is to throw the word fascism at it. Now that is a path that will set you free.

2. All of the old labels have become meaningless.
You are correct. "Fiscally conservative" no longer means what it used to.

8. Yes, but if you're referring to my name,
I took it from the title of a Motorhead song.

5. For GOP, the PARTY is greater than the COUNTRY
Everything they do is geared towards keeping the GOP party in power. Whether it actually helps the people of the country as a whole is not even a consideration. Loyalty to the party and its leader is the main thing. In that respect, they are very much like the Soviet era Communists. The Pukes should be calling each other "comrade".
