NAZI = "The-N-Word" of any Political Discussion.

Looks like "Neocon" has become the new name
calling word for 'nazi' in the 21st Century.

Plus calling some one a "Neocon" has those
subtle Anti-Jewish undertones -and- "Neocon"
has a decided Anti-Israel-Zionist Overtone.

just say no to 'nazi' type name calling ~ RHF

Roy,

Real Nazis represent one of the most evil forces in history. You are
right that anyone that anyone that suggests that a Neocon is the same
as a Nazi is clearly exaggerating. Here's the way it really is:

Neocons embrace conservatism. Nazis also embraced conservatism, but in
a very extreme form of statist nationalism. Think neocon on steroids.
While most neocons are not racists, many of their positions on
national patriotism, national security, and the importance of security
over individual freedoms, are definitely pointed in the same fascist
direction that the Nazis started with.

Liberals are not the same as Marxists or Socialists. But, just as the
neocons are moving in the same direction as Nazis, the liberals are
more like Marxist or Commies than Nazis. A Marxist is like a liberal
on nasty steroids. Nazis are the opposite of Marxists or Socialists.
One of Hitler's first steps toward World War was to burn down the
Reichstag and blame it on the Commies and Socialists. The Nazi
Fascists fought against the Soviet Marxists in WW2. It is estimated
that 25 million Marxists died fighting the invading Fascist Nazis.
Anyone that calls a Commie Marxist a Nazi or a Fascist is attempting
to re-write history.

So, neocons are not fascists and liberal are not Marxists. Both
extremes are undesirable. Unless real American stand up to these
foolish exaggerations, the people that distort history for their own
political ends will prevent the people of this nation from uniting and
really dealing with our societal problems.

Obama is not a Marxist and I don't think most neocons (with the
possible exception of Dick "Shotgun" Cheney) are Nazis. Let's stop
this foolishness and realize that such hyperbole is a clear indication
of a crackpot.

I'm willing to bet that I'm the only one in this thread that has
actual college degrees in Government and Public Affairs.

Well. the Nazis fighting the Communists isn't evidence of them being
a great deal different. When Ribbentrop went to Moscow to deal with
Molotov, and agree to both invade Poland with their forces and split
it between them, he returned to Berlin and reported, "We can deal with
these guys, they are just like us". They also aggreed to split up
Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Romania into Nazi and
Soviet spheres of influence for take over by the two dictatorships.
The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact (also known as the Hitler - Stalin Pact
and other titles) remained in effect until Nazi Germany invaded the
Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 in Operation Barbarossa.

The only thing stopping the Nazi Germany from working together with
the Soviet Union in the end was Hitler's megalomania. Otherwise, WW
II could have turned out very differently. Perhaps in a way none of us
would like to imagine. Stalin was in a state of shock that Hitler
broke their pact, and attacked. It took him some days to recover his
composure and start to act.
Even Communist countries can fight against each other. It's the
"Party" of one country against the "Party" in the other,.
To the little man in the street, one dictatorship is little
different from the other.

Naziism/Fascism vs. Communism. They are both "Total
Government" .... Totalitarianism. Kissing cousins.
Both of them step on the freedom of the citizens. Destructive of
Liberty.

Said it before, will say it again. Any, ANY form of government can be
abused. Fascism may well appear to the man on the street to be no different
from Communism, but they are politcally diametrically opposite. The end
result to the citizen may be the same, but the players have different sets
of 'morals'. Fascism is, in part, Capitalism taken to it's extreme. Our
own Democratic Republic (USA, but isn't it funny how so many Communist
countries use those words in their proper names?) can be abused to the point
where it would, to practical intents and purposes, be no different than
either a Communist or Fascist dictatorship. Already, corporations have far
too much power and control over our government. I'm all for "Joe the
Plumber" blue collar types being able to earn whatever living they choose to
work for. I have a BIG problem with corporations taking advantage of the
hard work of others to garner obscene profits (Exxon-Mobil, for one).

You are correct on some accounts, but notice in Nazi Germany with
the big industries, although the original owners where still owners on
paper, and retained their titles, they now had to produce what they
were told to produce, they were told how much to produce, how much
they would get paid, and how much to pay the workers. You were
expected to meet government imposed quotas, just as in Communist
countries.
In Nazi Germany, you owned your company on paper, but you and your
company and your workers were totally controlled by the government.

If instead, you have the companys controlling the government, as
you say you are getting in the U.S., you have it turned around
backwards.

That was not the case in either Nazi Germany, or Communist Soviet
Union. There, the Government, (The Party) headed up by their Great
Leaders, had control.

Not much different then how business was run in the Soviet Union.
There, you had your factory committees and party comrades running the
factory. Totally controlled by the government again.
Again, totally controlled by the government. Everyone's lives
under total regulation.
To regular people, dictatorship is dictatorship. With their "Re-
education" Camps and Gulags and Concentration Camps.
What does it matter if it is black fascism, red communism, or
green or purple "ism" ? ?
No diff to me. All evil, and destructive to Liberty.

Oh, yes, it's funny how many communist countries call themselves
"Democratic" and a "Republic". Such as "The People's Democratic
Republic of Yemen, or Lao People's Democratic Republic, or the
People's Republic of China, or the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea ruled by "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-Il
LOL Such titles would never win them awards for honesty.

Obscene profit? You need to check into what their profit margins really are.
Yes, dollar wise, it might seem to be a lot, but you're disregarding the volume
of product sold. You're looking at dollar return rather the percentage earned on
each dollar spent.

It's my understanding that there is a much higher profit margin on let's say,
cosmetics, computer software and even bottled water.

Check MicroSoft, where I've heard their margin is over 20% vs 8-10% for an oil
company and say 14% or more for cosmetics.
