  1. ***** I love how everyone tries to say conservatives are fascist or fascism is a right wing ideology. People don't even know what fascism means. Most people on here bash conservatives as if they are the ones who are fascist but in reality those on the left are just as fascists, if not worse.

  2. Heads Tails Yes I did google it. Oxford does say right wing but also says authoritarian views and practice. That defines a lot of what the left in this country like to do as well.

  3. Kurt Smith Do you even know what fascism means?

  4. Heads Tails From Merriam-Webster : a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government: very harsh control or authority I know there are definitions elsewhere that exist about it being a right wing ideology (not in Merriam-Webster), but all point towards that definition. And when you look at the left and right wing parties in the US the left wing practices fascism more than the right wing. And I myself am a moderate saying that.

  5. Heads Tails Not really. "rights and responsibilities", there are several that feel that those welfare programs is the exactly opposite of responsibilities. For rights? The left has violated rights a lot, as in property and religious rights for example. In war, democrats voted for the current war. How are tax cuts fascists? But one thing is for sure, the majority won't call the left more responsible.

  6. Heads Tails To be completely 100% fair by definition conservatives are the party that tries to conserve something and thus control, or prevent chaos. That is fascism in a lot of ways and is right wing. But if you look at our political spectrum of the US you will find that liberals, our left wing in our politics, are not liberal. They use a lot of force to make people act that way they feel is right. That is authoritarian action and thus fascism. So while you are somewhat correct by definition in that fascism is a right wing ideology, you are wrong in saying it doesn't involve a dictatorship or an authoritarian form of government. You also have to look at actions. While those on the right have their ways of controlling people as in outlawing abortions and gay marriage, the left do it as well and are far worse. The left in this country push for "equality" by forcing others to pay more in taxes, or forcing businesses to give up their religious and property rights to serve people they don't want to serve. They use government as that force, that is fascism. You have to look at actions and when you create a checklist you will see that those on the political left of this country have a lot of characteristics of a fascist group.

  7. Heads Tails There are several things you and I disagree with. First off, I feel we need government, but we need to be able to control government. My problem with the political left in this country is that they want to create a centralized government, a one size fits all government at the federal level. With that you lose control of government because your representation gets small. I find it funny when the political left pushes for a larger federal government, which ultimately is pushing their beliefs on others, but then cries when someone else uses that government to oppress them. You had no control of that government. To have a democratic government you need a strong representation by the people. You do that the more local government becomes. At the state and local level you have a stronger voice thus you have a more democratic government. You say all government is a method of wealth redistribution, that is false. There is no such thing as wealth redistribution. There is wealth creation and destruction. If taxes are not controlled or managed then that is wealth destruction. To see that taxes are managed properly we need to keep government as local as possible to see that tax money is spent on what society wants, thus wealth is created. But at the federal level tax dollars are wasted more and thus wealth is destroyed, not redistributed. So while taxes can be used to benefit all, it has to be done in a way to benefit all and not the few. "Equality is the idea of people paying taxes based on there ability to pay. Flat tax rates affect the less fell off to a much higher extent than the wealthy. The trickle down economy doesn't work." That is up to the local society to decide. Someone who earns more is simply worth more and generates that much wealth. It isn't wise at times to take from your most productive members of your society or attack those that produce the most. There are benefits of a flat, regressive and progressive tax system. Trickle down economics is a political term. At the same time we see it at work. People are better off because wealth creation leads to better wealth for all. Look at our cars or Ipads for example. "I'm sure you are aware of the costs of healthcare in America vs the rest of the world." Yes, and high cost are due to federal government policies dating back to at least the 40s. It is due to federal taxes, I can discuss that in detail if you want in another comment. "Would you support the right for a company to deny service based on the color of there skin, on a disability, a facial disfigurement, if a person did not have the correct item of clothing. " Yes I would. Freedom comes at a cost. Your problem is that you are saying the ends justify your means. Taking away other people's property rights is not the approach we should take, but you try justifying it saying is leads to "equality". " I do not believe that a company offering services or products has the right to deny service because they don't like the person asking for that service. " But I bet you would support someone refusing to shop at a business they don't like if it were ran by say Muslims or black people. You support the customers having a choice but not a business owner who invested their own money and time in running that business. "Imagine your the only white guy in a town where everyone is black, the only straight guy in a town where everyone is gay, the only able bodied person where everyone is disabled or the only christian in a town full of atheists." Let us flip this extreme around. Say that people got sick of an oppressive government and decided not to start a business there? Then what? Now we have no services. If you are the only gay person in a small town and people don't like you then you have other problems. Even at that as long as they are not using the government to discriminate then that is fine. How far are you willing to go with removing rights for "equality" and "safety". I know of a great way to lower violence, have the cops do random searches of people's homes. Would you support that? Holmes would have been caught before shooting up that theater. This is why I say the left is fascist, you want to use the force of the federal government to place what you think is right on society. And you claim it is for "equality" and "fairness" but in reality it is pure fascism. Think about what you support. You support your government on other people. That is fascism.
