Rep vs. Dem Differences

The Nazi Party was the National SOCIALIST Party, fascsim is a left wing
philosophy, it never has had anything to do with the political right. It is
only characterized as such by entertainers with no knowledge of history.

I suggest you refer to Hayek's ROAD TO SERFDOM for the origins of fascism and
it's collectivist, left wing roots.

We train for instinctive reactions to emergencies. If an engine fails on

around for an emergency landing.

Bush projects exactly that kind of smoothness, assurance, and decisive
response. It comforts the voters and makes pilots, especially those who do a
lot of emergency drilling, say, "My kind of guy."

Well Roger, lucky for us we have film of exactly how "Dubya" reacted
when told the news of the attacks on the WTC because he was being
filmed at the time reading to kids in a classroom in Florida when an
aide approached and gave him the news. There it is in cold hard film,
the actual reaction of the big guy when told of the worst attack upon
the United States since Pearl Harbor.

His smooth assured and decisive reaction? He sat there stunned for 8
minutes on camera until someone came and hustled him out of the
classroom.

Maybe you can offer another, better, example of calm smooth assurance.
Please? I could sure use it because he often seems a sandwich short

In an on-the-air (*) broadcast, a BBC announcer was trying to explain the
difference between the Republicans and the Democrats to his British
audience.

"The Republicans are verry like our ... ahhh ... Conservatives.
The Democrats are verry like our ... ahhh ... Conservatives."

Thereby quoting the late Michael Flanders in a live US appearance (with his
stage partner, Donald Swann) many many years ago.

Perhaps the amount they spend on security is quite adequate. Who's going to attack
them?

Exactly. As close to the proverbial "deer in the headlights" look as I have
ever seen.
The film (and there are others besides Michael Moore's because many cameras
were rolling at the time) simply does NOT lie.

Well, he looked pretty self-assured when he landed on the aircraft carrier in a
flight suit under the "Mission Accomplished" banner. I'll be he loved that.
Probably enjoyed having Thanksgiving with the troops, too. He's (I am told) a
very nice guy, but he's way over his head.

And I promised myself I would stay out of politics on this NG . . . sorry, but
I couldn't help myself. :-(

Deutsche Demokratische Republik... or German Democratic Republic.

We are talking appearance Vs reality here. One event shows planned
(probably by handlers) reactions and the other the real ones.

The Nazis actually were socialists, however. Almost all major industries
were nationalized and, like all socialist states must do in the end, the
Nazis ultimately resorted to slave labor. After all, if you remove the
economic incentive to work harder or more efficiently and suppress
individual expression, then you are left with only physical force to make
people work. Socialism's failure is never the fault of the government, of
course. Hitler blamed first the Jews, but after he had killed nearly all of
the Jews he simply committed suicide himself, blaming the German people as
not being worthy of him.

As for the German Democratic Republic, I am reminded of Mortimer Adler's
assertion that socialism was the democratization of economic power. Just as
democracy theoretically equalizes political power among men, so socialism is
supposed to equalize economic power. From this viewpoint socialism is the
economic expression of democracy.

Of course, neither democracy nor socialism equalize anything.
