all just closet fascists?



Some of the things I've heard self proclaimed "progressives" say would get a conservative charged with making "terrorist threats". Went to have a beer with the wife earlier today. We were sitting out on the patio. Jeep was there in front of us, NRA sticker clearly visible. Couple of the local progressive types sat down at the table next to us and proceeded to start in with the all NRA members need to die, the rich should have to surrender their wealth, blah, blah, blah. I noticed they drove up in a brand new BMW.



I've yet to meet a liberal that wasn't angry at the world and ready to commit mayhem in the interest of the "greater good" at the drop of a hat.

I know liberals who want to be controlled themselves.  I take it you have never met someone with "well, if you have nothing to hide...." attitude?

In a word, yes.
Genocide has been a progressive plan A since the early 20th century.Don't forget these are the people who originated eugenics and advocated euthanasia for the "unfit'.It's always been justified by the term "The Greater Good", a polite euphemism meaning "a metric fuck ton of people who disagree with us are about to become landfill".

You've got one thing wrong, though.  They're generally NOT ready to commit mayhem in the interest of their ideology.  They're ready for OTHER PEOPLE to commit mayhem in the interest of their ideology.

Dude.  You're posting on a board where someone said (in one of the many abortion threads) that if killing abortion doctors were legal, he'd be stacking them like cordwood.

But please, feel free to pretend that only the "progressives" are prone to hyperbole.

Enforcing "Progressive" ideas requires a strong central government and cooperation, coerced or voluntary, between private institutions such as businesses and the strong government.

Yep. Because they think are the smart ones and people who don't think like them are ignorant and a danger to themselves and possibly society, and need guidance of the smart ones, through force of government if necessary, .

Because what they advocate requires a "holistic" government, that is a government that recognizes no boundary between private and public life.  The Italian fascists (who invented the brand) said it best ...... "everything in the state, nothing outside the state".  Such a government will necessarily move in a fascist direction after it becomes clear that not everyone is on board with their plans.

Or if not them, people who think like them, who'll leave them alone.



Unfortunately for them that's not how it works.  The people who "think like them" will control them as well.

There is a huge difference between the two sides. While you can find almost any type within the mix of conservative/libertarian, all progressives are fascist at heart, or else they will grow out of being progressive when they grow up.

No, more like RINOs and moderates. The argument for things like TARP, Patriot Act, etc., came from the mushy middle of the Republicans, not conservatives, and certainly not the libertarian wing.

Also don't underestimate the trust in the paternalism of government and the media, particularly in the moderate left.

I see this first hand in my mother-in-law, who will trust what the guy on TV tells her, and trusts the intents and competence of government. Now, I think that has broken down some due to Obamacare and my arguments. She has typically rejected anything I say if it conflicts with what the TV tells her, but unfolding reality has made an impression.

She really believed that Bill Clinton created a surplus, and George Bush spent it.

I like to ask them what they think is wrong with the NRA.  Then I ask what they would do to them if the cops wouldn't punish them.  Then I ask them why they decided to become terrorists.

They KNOW in their heart that the propaganda they spew is total bullshit.  Total bullshit that would require TOTAL CONTROL by the .gov to implement.

Oh pish.  I see plenty of Conservative/Libertarian types who are more than happy to have the boot of .gov on your throat, as long as it's their boot.  Morality by legislation and control is the core mission on both sides of the aisle.
