The State is at war with its own Citizens. They believe their an Entitled class, with the rest of us as just property like serfs. To stupid to think for ourselves. If that is not happening, be sure they will encourage it. Platonic in thinking with eugenics, or as it was known before the Nazis, social Darwinism. In a delusional mindset they believe there superior philosopher Kings by blood or achievement. The betters from the common herd.
Your money in there deranged judgment’s is actually owned by them . This group ranges from Academics, Union heads, Political dynasties, Bureaucrats, Planned Parenthood, right up to CEO's the world over.
Did people actually think the Aristocrats, Tyrants, or Totalitarians have just left planet Earth & have done nothing to regain absolute power since the American Revolution or WW2? Your an investment, not free men in the caverns of evil they call wits.
This will just accelerate the process.
I think the fact that there are more illiterate people in America or the Canada's today than back at the turn of the 19nth Century says it all. Considering the pennies they paid for education versus the billions now. The conjoining of the leftists & Islamists to institute HRC’s with Polity backed censorship. To insulate us from our rights in the name of multiculturalism & Political Correctness. Fascism is absolutely correct.
An excellent piece well stated for the times. Obama was their horse. I am beginning to think McCain was as well. His shock was palatable when he started to win. He did everything possible but quite after that. Even eviscerate Palin himself.
The intelligentsias reaction was proof positive of distain for ordinary people. Remember Joe the Plummer‘s social keel hauling by the latte crowd? The fix was in.

I really like Louis CK - and his observations on the Conan O'Brien show about stupid spoiled people - he is so right. Video gone on YouTube - but found it here:
Reagan was a true believer in liberty and the latest (hopefully not the last) great leader elected in the Western world. Also, He was well spoken, well dressed and recovered quickly from gunshot wounds. What more can someone want?
When Nancy herself arrived a few minutes later, Reagan greeted her with the comment, "Honey, I forgot to duck." (He was quoting prizefighter Jack Dempsey, who had said the same thing to his own wife after losing the heavyweight championship to rival Gene Tunney in 1926.)
Reagan even found occasion to pay homage to W.C. Fields. When a nurse asked him how he was feeling, he responded, "All in all, I'd rather be in Philadelphia." (The original line, which Fields had proposed for his own epitaph, was: "On the whole, I would rather be in Philadelphia.")
And, of course:
Dr. Joseph Giordano, who headed the George Washington University Hospital trauma team that operated on Reagan, recollected the incident in a Los Angeles Times article just a few days after it happened. His version of events, corroborated by Reagan's personal physician, who was also in the room, was later recapped in Herbert L. Abrams' book, The President Has Been Shot, as follows:
3:24 p.m. Reagan was wheeled into the operating room. He had lost about 2,100 cc of blood, but his bleeding had slowed and he had received 4 1/2 replacement units. As he was moved from the stretcher to the operating table, he looked around and said, "Please tell me you're all Republicans." Giordano, a liberal Democrat, said, "We're all Republicans today."
"Poetic justice he ended up shitting his diapers in a Alzheimer's stupor."
There is nothing poetic about Alzheimer's, nor has it anything to do with justice. In time, you will face your own demise. I trust you will revel in it, as much as you revel in the demise of others.
So just because Reagan is a political foe is reason to wish them ill will. How very high minded of you Highwayman.
If you are auguring the building of a 'classless society', you have succeeded immeasurably. In addition to classless you have shown yourself to be tasteless.

Not surprisingly the Reagan vitriol emerges from the nameless trolls that post to SDA.
The positive side of the Reagan/ Obama You Tube video is that countless Americans who visit SDA will indeed be reminded that Barack Obama is a Marxist and the USA is turning the corner to socialism under the Democrat's MSM anointed one.
Canada has had socialist state run "health care" for decades now, exactly what the USA will get under Obama's plan.
Rationing by bureaucrats as we Canadians call it.
And if you are old, well, be warned.......
Just saying . . . . . .
OT- Kathy Shaidle nailed Obama on Steve Paikin's "Agenda" last week just exactly right " Obama is a Marxist!"
I agree with Hans. Highwayman, your comment was malicious and stupid. Same with philboyd. Alzheimers is a disease; it is not poetic and has no attributive justice or political causality to it.
Now, with regard to fascism, I disagree with Ledeen that 'we are all fascists now'. Fascism isn't simply about state control which is also socialism. According to Mussolini, it rejects any notion of an economic causality to history and therefore, it isn't about the economy as much as it is a utopian homogeneic nationalism. The State is all-powerful. The State functions as a primitive deterministic essential Force.
BUT, I would consider that Obama has a fascist nature. I suggest this because of his mythic messianic complex, his focus on 'the leader's incarnation of destiny' (his focus on himself as a direct heir of Lincoln);his rejection of criticism and dissent; his insistence on 'bipartisanship' which is really a call for homogeneity not interactive dialogue; his intrusive state overule; his focus on 'crisis' and 'fear' and 'struggle' - these are all evidence of Obama as a fascist.
I would like to bring things a little closer to home. We are having a frightening criminal gang problem. This morning a woman was shot to death in a "high end sports car" in Surrey a few blocks from my home. Apparently there was a child in the car with her.
To me the reaction of the standing Liberal Government is as frightening as the gang problem. They are going to: outlaw the wearing of body armor, outlaw armor plating in automobiles, and assail gun merchants who sell guns to the movie industry. I don't think anyone would be naive enough to believe that assaults on the homes and businesses of duck hunters will not come when the press demands victories.
Maybe this looks OK on the surface but does this target the real problem? It's the criminals stupid. There have been no arrests and would be no meaningful jail sentences if there were.
What if I want to wear body armor? What if I want to shove a garbage can lid inside my truck door?
What if I want to see a movie where real guns are used or go duck hunting without being assaulted by a Swat Team?
When the politicians panic why do they always "surround the wrong building". Or is there room for suspicion that a looming catastrophe was allowed to grow so that liberties could be denied in the name of saving us?
"Not surprisingly the Reagan vitriol emerges from the nameless trolls that post to SDA."
Care to share your name and address, Joe?
And, I guess it's alright to slam someone when they're alive and can hear it, (like Obama) but when they're stiff and in the ground, it's sacrilege, huh?
Don't worry, sweetie, if Obama f***s up like the Gipper did, I'll be on it.
Pillboy and high way man, you two must have never paid a mortgage. Humanoids like yourselves never cease to provide examples for the raising of my children, these are the kind of people you want to stay away from, useless druggies who own nothing, I tell them, angry constantly tearing down what a conservative society has provided the ungrateful bastards. Yes losers, thanks for todays lesson, you putrid pathetic liberals never let us down.
ET - although the meltdown happened during the transition between presidencies, it would be interesting to speculate how things would "look different" now if that collapse would have happened a year ago while the campaign was still fresh - and Obama could have presented himself as the new economic and social saviour of the United States - again appealing to a fascistic "cult of personality".
Again, I think we're talking about very small "f" fascism - there are a few things missing - such as strong nationalism (I don't think he's much got that), or social darwinism (not much of that either) and I don't think he's much of an imperialist - although we'll see - interesting times for sure.
ET - I do give the guy a break on the "heir of Lincoln" thing - I think it's more a projection for affirmation rather than something he believes himself.
Again, I just think it's part of a continuing campaign "narrative arc". Cheers

You're such a jackass -- you go and say vile things, commenters repudiate you, and then you cry and moan that you're being censored.
Last I checked your posts were still up -- that's not censorship, now is it? You're a typical hateful jerk on the left -- you equivocate with words and used charged rhetoric to make nonsensical points.
No, ET, but there is such a thing as poetic justice.
Reagan supported and funded murder, torture and terrorism, and if anyone deserved to die in their own shit, he did.
"Yada-yada-yada...you putrid pathetic liberals never let us down."
Well, Barty-boy, I've never done drugs, other than the ones prescribed by your friendly neighborhood Big Pharma, under the direction of one of their salesmen. (My GP, A.K.A. "Big Bill") And, I own EVERYTHING I have, lock, stock, and barrel, because I'm not into the debt thingie like all you fashionable types.
And, for the last effing time, I'm not Liberal. Sorry, I can't afford any political affiliation, right now, the system's too crooked for my tender sensibilities.
I'm glad you've come to terms with it, though. Good luck with that!

Another leftist worm. So a few weeks back when US air strikes killed 30+ in the tribal regions of Afghanistan, strikes authorized by Obama, does that make him a murderer now too?
You moral idiots never cease to amaze -- you complain the injustice murderers picked up off the battlefield face at Gitmo, murderers who routinely blow up innocents, but then heap all kinds of self-loathing moral condemnation on men like Reagan.
It's people like you that increase suffering in the world -- your values are pathetic and destructive.
And let's not forget his cheefulness, his sunny-ness -- an essential quality for a great leader. Reagan was very much like Churchill in this regard.
Reagan made me feel good. I'll say it unabashedly: I loved the man.
AND, it's important to remember that the "amaiable dunce" characterization didn't, in the fulness of time, hold up, when people began to discover his writings on the subject of liberty. Remember all those bien pensants who wanted to get in on the parade with articles memorializing the man.
trolls, especially the really stupid, venal ones, are not worth feeding. They are but a waste of time and space and should not be fed scraps from the cornucopia on our table.
Starvation is the owner's requested cure for trolls.
I am with Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, the USA is going down the road to 'SOCIALISM" exactly the way Pierre Trudeau took Canada decades ago.
62 % of Canadians are still leftists as observed in our last election.
And we will never recover as long as the power of big government bureaucrats and egotistical bullshit leftist orators ( abetted with slobbering MSM) remain in place.
Glad you know where you stand, Ricky... saves me pointing it out to you.
Now, run along before you bust something in your head
Keep talking HWYM -- you just prove our point that you have no arguments, just rhetoric and smear...that's your m.o. Now, you run along, you intellectual lightweight and moral coward.
Erik Larsen - I think that Obama IS appealing to a 'cult of personality' which is why he deliberately aligns himself, in what is really quite an arrogant act, with Lincoln. Such an alignment, such a conclusion, has to be left to others not to Obama.
If you listen to the video and Obama's speeches, there is most definitely a cult approach, where the individual essentially gives up all individual thought (listen particularly to Michele Obama's speech) to The Leader.
I consider Obama a pathological narcissist; that is, it's not a mild case of self-absorption but a malignant one that 'might' or 'will' lead him to exert more and more control against freedom in the USA.
Certainly the Democrats are socialist, in the elitist sense that they define themselves in government, academia, and various professions as The Ruler-Guardians - and the rest of the population as the impoverished, intellectually befuddled and requiring of Government Rule and Assistance.
Obama doesn't seem to have a political ideology; he doesn't 'think' through policies and programs. His focus is on Control. The ability to control what others think of him, and what they do. He finds the Democratic Party the most amenable to this agenda/psychological need. So, the Democratic Party and Obama are each feeding off each other. Not a constructive situation.
ET - I think I was unclear. I agree there is an element of cult of personality. I think that it's interesting to see pictures of people listening to him speak
My opinion, though, is that I don't think that he believes all the hype himself. I don't think he has a messianic or saviour complex - rather I think he's a politician who is in permanent campaign mode, and is happy to whip up the crowd in an evangelical manner.
And I agree - Michelle Obama's speech to which you refer was pretty bizarre. I don't think she's said much of substance since - I'm sure she was told shhhhhhhhhh.
Erik Larsen - yes, I agree with you that Obama doesn't believe the socialist doctrine that he preaches. He, himself, has NO policies or program.
And I agree, he doesn't have a saviour or messianic complex in itself; that is, he has no plan, no policies, no program that, via him, will 'save the country'.
His focus is on himself. Not policies. Not programs. Just himself and his ability to control people. That's his pathological narcissism.
The Democratic Party - that's where the policies and programs are based, where they are created and developed. Obama has no interest at all in such things.
The two are using each other. Quite successfully so far - unsuccessful for the American people and the USA, but, politically successful for the Democrats. The Democrats will now try to use The Salesman to control the census (and electoral college votes), silence opposition (heh, that Fairness doctrine) and insert more and more socialist rule over and against individual freedom.

Obama doesn't seem to have a political ideology; he doesn't 'think' through policies and programs. His focus is on Control. The ability to control what others think of him, and what they do. He finds the Democratic Party the most amenable to this agenda/psychological need. So, the Democratic Party and Obama are each feeding off each other. Not a constructive situation.
"...no rational arguments, pure smear and name-calling."
Isn't that what SDA's about?
Oh... gee... I'm sorry. I misunderstood.
*Snicker*
Here, I'll make ammends... I'll resurrect the Gipper, for ya!
Rrrrriiiise, oh Mighty Gipper...
ET - I think I was unclear. I agree there is an element of cult of personality. I think that it's interesting to see pictures of people listening to him speak
My opinion, though, is that I don't think that he believes all the hype himself. I don't think he has a messianic or saviour complex - rather I think he's a politician who is in permanent campaign mode, and is happy to whip up the crowd in an evangelical manner.
And I agree - Michelle Obama's speech to which you refer was pretty bizarre. I don't think she's said much of substance since - I'm sure she was told shhhhhhhhhh.
Erik Larsen - yes, I agree with you that Obama doesn't believe the socialist doctrine that he preaches. He, himself, has NO policies or program.
And I agree, he doesn't have a saviour or messianic complex in itself; that is, he has no plan, no policies, no program that, via him, will 'save the country'.
His focus is on himself. Not policies. Not programs. Just himself and his ability to control people. That's his pathological narcissism.
The Democratic Party - that's where the policies and programs are based, where they are created and developed. Obama has no interest at all in such things.
The two are using each other. Quite successfully so far - unsuccessful for the American people and the USA, but, politically successful for the Democrats. The Democrats will now try to use The Salesman to control the census (and electoral college votes), silence opposition (heh, that Fairness doctrine) and insert more and more socialist rule over and against individual freedom.
