REPUBLICANS   ARE   THE   TRUE   CLASSICAL   LIBERALS.

MISCONCEPTION
Democrats are liberals and moderate socialists.

TRUTH
Democrats, whether or not they realize it, are playing a dangerous game and advocate what is actually a fascist and mercantilist society.

Consider the following:

Economically speaking—
CAPITALISM: business is privately owned, and privately controlled.
COMMUNISM: business is collectively owned, and collectively controlled.
SOCIALISM: business is government owned, and government controlled.
FASCISM: business is privately owned, but government controlled (what most Democrat politicians want).
Politically speaking—Fascism is the extreme rule of law and control of human activity (i.e., “authoritarianism,” commonly and mistakenly called, “totalitarianism”).  In this respect, it differs from Stalinist socialism only in the ownership of property.  Since property is controlled by the state in both instances, this is only a matter of form.
Democrats in this country are often called “socialists”—just as Hitler’s Nazis were called “National Socialists,” but were really fascists.
Democrats advocate a paternalistic, “big-brother” style of government—just like the Nazis.  Some critics call it the “nanny-state.”
In the 1960s, Democrat politicians translated Nazi gun-control laws, and passed them as the Gun Control Act of 1968.  Democrats now propose other Nazi-inspired laws, including the banning of handguns—just like Adolph Hitler, the inventor of handgun control.
Democrat politicians and the so-called “liberal” media consistently use variations of the big-lie technique—just like the Nazis.
      The big-lie technique was pioneered by the Nazi minister of propaganda, Dr. Josef Göebels.  The theory is, the bigger the lie, and the louder and more often you tell it, the easier it is for the public to believe it.  The technique was successful because the basically honest public had little insight into the mind of a liar, and instinctively reasoned that no one would dare tell a lie that big.
      One of the modern variations developed by Democrats is the many-lie technique, where so many lies are told that we develop a blasé attitude toward the problem.
      Another technique, foretold by George Orwell in his once-futuristic book, 1984, is the use of double-speak (called newspeak in Orwell's book), where terminology is used to mean the opposite of what it sounds like—witness the misuse of the word, “liberal.”
      Leading Democrat, Ted Kennedy, as quoted in the January 28, 2002 issue of U.S.News & World Report, smiled and described yet another technique: “...you take someone’s argument and you misrepresent it and you misstate it and you disagree with it. ...It’s very effective.  I’ve done it myself a number of times.”
      The result of the big lies, the many small lies and double-speak is seen in the big truth effect, where the truth now seems so farfetched that people have trouble accepting it—witness the difficulty many will have with this essay.
Democrats and other so-called “liberals” attempt “thought-control”—just like the Nazis—through government schools, control of the major media outlets and journalism schools, day-care, dumbed-down politically correct (PC) textbooks and curriculum, so-called “liberal” faculties at most colleges and universities, government funding (i.e., censorship) of the arts and of public TV and of public radio, forced unionization of government workers, regulations, hate-crime legislation, and so on.  They are now using scare tactics in their attempt to reign-in a predominantly libertarian internet.  Many radical feminists, multi-culturalists, PCers and victim-mongers advocate censorship and destroy publications—just like the Nazis.
Democrats excel in the use of the politics of envy, hatred and division—just like the Nazis—and emphasize our differences, rather than celebrate our commonalities.  They try to pit us against each other by using classist terminology such as upper-class, middle-class, lower-class, working-class, white-collar and blue-collar, or by hyphenating us into rich-Americans, poor-Americans, far-right, far-left, Asian-Americans, white-Americans, Afro-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, native-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, straight-Americans, gay-Americans, urban-Americans, rural-Americans, and on and on and on.  In the attempt to divide us, most Democrat leaders today engage in scapegoating—just like the Nazis.
Democrats, led by Woodrow Wilson, ran most blacks out of government—just as later their ideological cousins, the Nazis, ran the Jews out of government.
Democrats have reduced opportunities for minorities, by regulating away those opportunities, and by opposing school choice.  The result has been that large segments of minorities remain isolated in the ghetto—just as the Nazis did with the Jews.
Democrats have enslaved large segments of minorities within the barb-wire of “welfare”—just as the Nazis enslaved minorities within the barb-wire of the concentration camps.
Speaking of which, Democrats invented the modern concentration camp.  The Nazi concentration camps were modelled on British concentration camps used during the Boer War, which were modelled on the horrific prisoner of war camps created by Democrats during our Civil War.
Democrats and other so-called “liberals” use pseudo-religious justification of their agenda—just like the Nazis.  They attempt to misrepresent, twist and misquote the teachings of the major religious writings of the world, especially in the case of the Judeo-Christian Bible.  Toward that end, they have infiltrated many religious organizations and schools, and have created misleading presentations of religious stories and lessons in the entertainment industry and literature.
Many so-called “liberals” are preoccupied with initiatory societies, mystery cults, ancient beliefs, paganism, myths, fantasy and pop-theology—as were many Nazis.  Surprisingly, most of these philosophical systems agree with the Judeo-Christian teaching (and Newton’s Second Law of Thermodynamics) that all actions have consequences; therefore, we are responsible for our own actions and conditions.  The irony here—as it was under the Nazis—is that these so-called “liberals” still insist on victim-mongering and scapegoating.
Democrats and other so-called “liberals” and “moderates” allow what most pro-life Republicans consider the ultimate hate crime—abortion.  Democrats have even been at the forefront in the battle to legalize partial-birth and after-birth “abortions”—considered by many pro-choice and pro-life Republicans to be a sacrifice of a child to the god of convenience.
Many so-called “liberal” politicians act as if they believed that they are above the laws of God, the laws of cause-and-effect and the laws of men—just like the Nazis.
Many Democrats and other so-called “liberals,” playing God, work within the philosophy that the end justifies the means—as did the Nazis.
So-called “liberals” use pseudo-scientific justification of their agenda—just like the Nazis.
Democrats and other so-called “liberals” are often responsible for the invasion of our privacy, in the name of the public good and protection of our children—just like the Nazis.

It is not an exercise in name-calling to point out that the Democrats are obviously a fascist party.

What is less obvious is that the Democrats are mercantilists, not capitalists or socialists.  Mercantilism is an effort to achieve economic unity and political control using policies designed to keep the state prosperous by economic regulation, primarily for the benefit of a few elites.  Democrats are reactionaries, not liberals. Mercantilism is an ancient system, responsible for many wars.  Republicans, the true historical liberals, favor the free-market of capitalism, which is more conducive to peace.

Democrats and so-called “liberals” have shaped the political discussion so thoroughly that accepted political terminology is Orwellian double-speak.

Seems to me the currrent president is the biggest advocate of the "nanny state" with the changes he's made so far.

As far a "double speak" goes that wall of text is chock full of "newspeak" goodness.

I have only one firm belief about the American political system, and that is this:  God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat.

God is an elderly or, at any rate, middle-aged male, a stern fellow, patriarchal rather than paternal and a great believer in rules and regulations.  He holds men strictly accountable for their actions.  He has little apparent concern for the material well-being of the disadvantaged.  He is politically connected, socially powerful and holds the mortgage on literally everything in the world.  God is difficult.  God is unsentimental.  It is very hard to get into God’s heavenly country club.

Santa Claus is another matter.  He’s cute.  He’s non-threatening.  He’s always cheerful.  And he loves animals.  He may know who’s been naughty and who’s bee nice, but he never does anything about it.  He gives everyone everything they want without thought of a quid pro quo.  He works hard for charities, and he’s famously generous to the poor.  Santa Claus is preferable to God in every way but one:  There is no such thing as Santa Claus.

The American political system is like a gigantic Mexican Christmas fiesta.  Each political party is a huge piñata—a papier-mâché donkey, for example.  The donkey is filled with full employment, low interest rates, affordable housing, comprehensive medical benefits, a balanced budget, and other goodies.  The American voter is blindfolded and given a stick.  The voter then swings the stick wildly in every direction, trying to hit a political candidate on the head and knock some sense into the silly bastard.

When you looked at the Republicans you saw the scum off the top of business.  When you looked at the Democrats you saw the scum off the top of politics.  Personally, I prefer business.  A businessman will steal from you directly instead of getting the IRS to do it for him.  And when Republicans ruin the environment, destroy the supply of affordable housing, and wreck the industrial infrastructure, at least they make a buck off it.  The Democrats just do these things for fun.

Democrats are also the party of government activism, the party that says government can make you richer, smarter, taller and get the chickweed out of your lawn.  Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work, and then they get elected and prove it.  One philosophy is not necessarily an improvement on the other, but if you want the tooth fairy to come, you’ve got to have some teeth under your pillow.

Can you tell me how you're directly affected today other than airport security checks? My life hasn't changed a bit personally.

Good one Dune!
