IIRC, in the Soviet form of communism, the government both owned and operated industry, while in the German form of fascism, industry was privately owned, by was made to submit to government's every demand. I believe that makes her a Nazi. This quote from Adolf Hitler further supports her as being a Nazi:<br /><br /> "We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions."<br />Adolf Hitler, May 1, 1927<br />Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-10579391378365634592018-09-13T10:30:56.224-05:002018-09-13T10:30:56.224-05:00" . . . and hairy-legged feminists instead of..." . . . and hairy-legged feminists instead of howler monkeys.

At least I hope that the people of this country are still smart enough that they are not going to go for something like this. <br />But the more I think of it, the more I realize that nothing is beyond the lunacy of America.

This is a textbook definition of Fascism. Maybe she thinks that Fascism, like Communism, only failed because the wrong people were in charge. Every time it has been tried. Every where.

This is where The World's Best Driver (Ted Kennedy) and Lurch (John Kerry) are viewed as statesmen and moderates. <br /><br /> I went to the less fashionable university down the street, but bounced at a Harvard-Square bar for a while when lobstering season was slow in winter. Warren and her ilk are NOT exceptional in the Massachusetts political system. Nepotism and cronyism are and always have been how government works there. As a result, Warren was always going to be a senator once she got a part-time gig at Harvard that pays her a half-mil a year to not teach any classes. This is a place where the head of the Irish mob (who had a fetish for killing hookers and italians) had a brother who was the president of the MA senate (and also was director of the state's university system) who kept the FBI off his back, but never got in any sort of trouble for it. <br /><br /> No, Massachusetts is Venezuela but with awful weather and hairy-legged feminists instead of howler monkeys. <br />Paul, Dammit!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02264872375942355609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-76537024514040870672018-09-10T14:18:41.456-05:002018-09-10T14:18:41.456-05:00Some small business should offer to let Senator Wa...Some small business should offer to let Senator Warren run the place for a year. The ones that will be affected by Warren's law should guarantee that company's existence after Warren. <br /> <br />Every aspect of Warren's performance should be made public; public service ads should run constantly.<br /> <br />From then on, every time Warren speaks on any subject, her performance in that business should be advertised again.<br /> <br />My hope would be she would get tired of being laughed at and disappear from public life. Alas, I know people like her cannot be embarrassed or shamed.urbane legendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699110758399432397noreply@blogger.com
