Are you suggesting the federal government should not be involved in funding infrastructure?

You may be on to something.....




hmmm

I also heard that Hitler had excellent table manners. Is it a coincidence that Trump also has excellent table manners?

Sure,when it doesn't involve borrow and spend from China....

Leibstande SS Adolf Hitler was created to protect Hitler from the Wehrmacht.

you can make up definitions if you like, but you can't make them correct.

OK, but federal investment in infrastructure in and of itself is acceptable?  It's how the money is obtained that determines whether it's ok or not?

"Not only that" what? Please, prove at least one thing you say before moving on to the next.

And renegotiating NAFTA = invading Poland? 0/10 Troll

This all stems back to the communists infiltrating the Democratic Party. Read rules for radicals, this is straight out of the playbook.

LSSAH was created to be his personal protection long before he came to power, dates back to 1920s.....

If it's part of nation-building initiative at any cost....that alone signals a problem.

Tiny?!? Maybe by late May of 45. By 44 it was fucking huge.

Let's not stand on FDR, the man was a POS.

And the SA was crippled to get the Wehrmact's allegiance in the night of the long knives. The Army was afraid of the SA becoming less of a paramilitary force and taking over national defense because they were almost as large as the Wehrmact and Rohm was ambitious towards that end. The SA was largely filled with former communists at that point.

Nope, Sturmabteilung was Hitler's bodyguard.

Ha, Gott mit Yuns

Socialists are just Communist precursors, and Socialists and Fascists are only nominally different.

Socialism and Fascism are essentially the same.

You seem to be missing the point .........Hitler didn't trust anybody outside of the SS. Remember it was members of the Heer that tried to kill him.

Leftists realized they needed to distance themselves from Hitler after WW2, so they decided the defining characteristic of the Nazis was that they were Nationalists instead of them being Socialists.

So under their new (false) paradigm, anyone who is a Nationalist = Nazi, meanwhile they completely deny the Nazis were Socialists at all.

Liberals think that Building a Wall is Fascist, but they seem to have forgotten that Hitler didn't Build a Wall.

False paradigm created by Leftists to obfuscate reality.

Exactly, Hitler was a member of the German Workers Party. The Communists and the Nazis collaborated on labor protests.

Nope

Mussolini was a big govt socialist

Hitler thought FDR would be a pushover because he was socialistic as well. At first he thought "he's one of us."

He renegotiated because they were trade agreements meant to punish Germany for WWI.

As a socialist he also invented the unit of labor as a measure of currency.  

He didn't so much deregulate government as he centralized government and consolidated power away from the coalition he was elected to serve.

reading through this makes obama sound almost identical to mussolini.

ahem...

They're screaming fascism because accusing their opponents of doing what they themselves do is pretty much their thing.

Don't look for a definiton of fascism on Wikipedia. Try something with more economic accuracy like perhaps here.

Trump is probably the most anti-fascist President since.... Calvin Coolidge?

Ummmm, no.

Nationalism is a sales pitch not a set of policies.  It can be applied to many things.  Liberals are just fucking stupid and don't understand what fascism is and like to call people they do t like fascists.

Anyone who claims Trump is fascist just shows their own idiocy and ignorance.

If they actually knew what fascism was they'd be horrified by Hilary.  

There you have it folks, irrefutable evidence Trump is a fascist.

Love your "kinda-sorta" defense after being confronted with facts.

Weren't you chastising us earlier today about believeing Trump's "alternative facts"? And now here you are offering you very own?

.

You know what dude, your right, that's a huge problem. We shouldn't be looking out for ourselves above all others, we should be looking out for everyone else first.

I see it now, it's all become so clear, your alternative facts have convinced me, Trump is literally Hitler.

LULZ

Wrong again........that song was written around 1800 and became Germany's national anthem before Hitler was even Chancellor.

It's still their national anthem under one of their leaders you probably admire..............Angela Merkel.

Using your logic (snort-snort) they are alike!  Hitler and Trump both use their hands to sign documents, both have(had) beating hearts and ate, wait for it......food!  Damn, they are the same!  
Now I owe myself a new keyboard.  I should not try typing sarcasm while eating jelly filled doughnuts.

Good point............we can "go places" with his "logic"..............

For example.................

"Hitler and Trump are both right handed...........Trump is Hitler!!"

I am surprised that PGABrainless' posts are not in crayon.  He must have the DNC Publishing House "How to Compare Any Republican to Hitler" playbook in the colorful Pop-Up version.

How is "America First" fascist?  Nationalism is certainly a component of fascism, but the idea of "America First" or of national pride is not by itself nationalism.  Donald Trump is certainly portraying himself as a nationalist, and may very well be one these days (hard to know for sure with him given how much he vacillates and the fact that he has no principles to ground him), but that would not make him a fascist.

The Left and the media that is aligned with it loves to use the word to attack the Right even though Fascism is one the Left.  It's a tactic meant to demonize others and turn people away from them by creating a perception of affiliation with what is generally accepted to be bad.  The original association of Fascism, nationalism, national socialism, etc. with the Right during the interwar period is an example of this effort.  The internationalist/progressive/communist Left started pronouncing such an association to both demonize their more nationalistic ideological competitors and to also demonize their enemies, those genuinely on the Right (conservatives, liberals, etc.).  It was a matter of tainting both, and killing two birds with one stone, and it has stuck ever since the war.  This is just an extension of that.  The Left loves to lie or distort the truth (hence their love for euphemisms).

Speaking of Fascism, I doubt that so much as 1 in 10 ARFCOMers could even describe what it is accurately.  Certainly the bulk of those screaming that Trump is a Fascist cannot.  Heck, the nationalism in Fascism is the wrong kind; it is not the type people claim as a trait of Donald Trump.  Fascism created a then-new form of nationalism, which centred around the state and not the people, especially those of a particular culture or ethnicity (nationality).  The nation was the state, and the state was the nation.  This state-centric nationalism is also known as statism.  It is broken down very simply by Mussolini's statement, "Everything through the state, everything for the state, nothing against the state."  Fascism also adopts a derivation from socialism known as syndicalism (not corporatism in the sense that people like to claim).  Fascism is, essentially, one of a number of forms of national syndicalism.  It does, however, have traits that are very specific to the society of southern Europe and Italy especially, which is why it has rarely been replicated elsewhere.  Most people are thinking of national socialism when they think of Fascism, which is socialism derived from Marxian principles combined with ethno-centric nationalism, but it is a different if related ideology, and actually predates Fascism by decades.

"Hitler and Trump both have straight hair............Trump is Hitler!!"

The traits of Fascism make its proper classification as Leftist, not Rightist.  It descends to a large extent from the ideas of Marx.  After all, the original party split off from one that was part of the 2nd International, and its founder proclaimed himself to be a socialist until the day he died (Mussolini).  The separate ideology of German National Socialism also came from a party split from one that was part of the 2nd International.  The idea that such ideologies are suddenly Rightist despite being in opposition to Rightist ideas and in support of many Leftist ones is silly, if unfortunately too commonly accepted by those who don't know any better (and some who do or should).

I think the "I've got a pen" business is out of hand no matter which president is invoking it.

No, it should not, and it was not granted the power to be involved outside of building post roads, i.e. roads to allow the transit of the mail, the delivery of which was granted as a Federal power.  Infrastructure should largely be, and constitutionally is, a state matter.  Certainly the government should not be involved in infrastructure anywhere near what is the case today, or in housing, or urban development, or any of that.

I was going to post something along these lines.

I don't like Angela Merkel. She was a communist.

I don't like Ali Khamenei. He was not/is not a communist.

Yep and The Germans and the world praised him for it , it wasn't until he actually started being a fascist by going after the Jews and invading other countries then he was hated

Vice Presidential candidate Dan Quayle responded to alleged reporter Tom Brokaw's question about his experience. At the time, Quayle was a Congressman for 12 years; Kennedy had been one for 14 years. "I have as much experience in the Congress as Jack Kennedy did when he sought the presidency."

Texas Senator/vice presidential candidate Lloyd Bentsen answered, "I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy." Quayle missed his opportunity to observe that Bentsen then compared to Lyndon Baines Johnson.
