I am not trying to put you in your place. I think you already know it.
I am just curious. I know DaemonSeid does not have a father.
His father is probably in jail

I'll let you know when I get the results back from Maury.

Are you my daddy?

Ummm...again...are you all seriously trying to have a convo with madmax?

Use him for the entertainment that he's worth or ignore him altogether. Typing to him in all seriousness became dumb months ago.

I don't believe in any of those things, yet wildly oppose fascism as done in the Universal Health Care bill.

Fascism? Seriously? The more things change the more they stay the same -- decry anything one disagrees with as fascism. Or socialism, take your pick (though you probably can't pick both).

Was it fascism when Republican lawmakers proposed much of the same stuff in the 1990s?

This kind of over-the-top nonsense also adds nothing to rational discourse -- it's the mirror image of the drivel that DS posted. To equate the health care bill to fascism is just plain ludicrous.

A rather simple definition of fascism would be the marriage between corporations and the state. To force individuals to purchase a certain thing from a certain industry is the epitome of this marriage. I don't decry anything as something...unless it is. And it is. It fits the simple definition. Granted it doesn't show as much totalitarianism as Mussolini's fascism, of course. But it's fascist.

Absolutely.

The Republicans are just as guilty of this stuff.

I flat-out have a problem with anyone telling me that "to believe X, you must believe Y". No, I don't. Kind of like my history teacher telling me that it's impossible to be against abortion, but for the death penalty - no it's not, because that's what I believe in.

Not to mention that most of those points are silly, extreme examples of ridiculous propaganda. Just because we know the drug companies are screwing us on prices, doesn't mean we want to throw a bureaucrat into that mix.

Agree. They had a chance to shrink our nanny state and instead went the complete opposite way. Free stuff is nice but ultimately someone has to pay for it. We can't afford all these giveaways. Plain and simple.
