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. |

They think that...................
everyone needs to be controlled except for themselves. |

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.

they're not in the closet as much as they used to be,,,seems about 2/3 of Congress fits that statement.

Because they figured out that just coming straight out and calling themselves fascists won't get them a very large following.

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.

Never seen a conservative argue in favor of increasing the amount they are forced to surrender to the government - especially while trusting to pay any extra voluntarily - as strongly as I have seen liberals do it. |

You should ask the progressives around here.....
Can't swing a stick around here without poking a couple..... Hundred. |

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. |

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. View Quote 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. |
