Emphasis on the education, btw. Our education system is godawful in the United States. We’re subpar for a country that’s supposedly the hegemon, really.

WHARGARBLE!!!!!111!!!

Ahem. Excuse me.

“Look at Germany’s financial climate when Hitler came to power compared to the recession hitting the US now.”

Yeah, or our financial climate when FDR was elected compared to now. Or the Japanese government after their lost decade. Or any other leader’s coming to power during a recession. ZOMG ALL SO SIMILAR AAA!

“He’s preying on people’s fear to gain greater control. ”

Right, which is why his speeches are peppered with phrases akin to ‘It will be difficult, but we can pull out of this recession if we bring our best skills to task’. Because if there’s anything that strikes fear into the heart of man, it’s inspirational encouragement. Please.

“Also, look at the steps taken towards socialism by Obama.”

Oh, Christ. Here we go…

“He wants to centralize control of the country’s wealth to government (he’s trying to place government at the head of ALL US banking).”

BULLSHIT. I suppose you find the FDIC to be equally Social- and Hitler-istic? In all the seventy years it’s had to take the opportunity to destroy our society under the yoke of Stalinism? Eyeroll.

“He wants the government to be in charge of healthcare.”

Well, it’s better. After all, when we want our wounded veterans to be taken care of, only the best will do. Which is why it’s an outrage that Obama even considered putting them on *private* healthcare. Government mandated healthcare is better in every concievable way to the medicare junk behemoth we have now. If you can’t discuss this subject at all without talking out of your ass, just clam up.

“He’s claiming to be setting up a utopia of government providing for all needs…”

Yeah, it’s insane. I mean healthcare (providing life), closing Gitmo and [I hope] prosecuting the assholes who condoned its torture (liberty), and reregulating the financial industry and economy so it’s safer for the little guy (pursuit of happiness)- it’s all so socialistic and unamerican. Although, I can’t help but shake the feeling I’ve seen those three tenets written down in some document somewhere. Perhaps you can recall its name?

“Let alone the fact is setting up youth groups centered around his philosophies…”

ROFL. Yes, the Peace Corps et al certainly espouse radical and dangerous ideas.

“If people can’t honestly draw at least similarities than they are only lying to themselves and doomed to repeat the horrible European history here.”

Most of your “similarities” either a) apply to far too many leaders throughout history to be relevant to the point you’re making, b) are complete bullshit, or c) aren’t things that Hitler did, and are also equally inapplicable.

“(I’m not saying that he is in any way Hitler or out to kill millions… but I do want people to at least wake up and not follow him blindly)”

Nooo… you’re just *comparing* them. Which of course isn’t practically speaking the same damn thing. Moron.

I haven’t investigated this yet, but I would be willing to bet you have your facts totally wrong.

And how is getting a deduction for your child more outrageous than getting deductions on mortgage interest paid on your nine houses, on your capital gains, and on your charitable deductions, not to mention the cash you stashed offshore so it couldn’t be taxed at all?

evil capitalists – hmmm.

comparisons to Hitler – hmmm.

Strange how this administration is successfully vilifying certain segments of society. The politicians who are most culpable in creating and perpetuating the mess we’re in are pointing the finger at one group and fanning the flames of hatred – and most of you can’t see the parallel. Most likely still awestruck by this great speaker who promised “change”. He also used words like ” economic justice “. Early in his career he called the constitution an outdated document that didn’t address ” redistributive justice “. Everything he says focuses on one crisis or another, or some sort of injustice – playing on peoples’ fear and anger.

Anybody remember William Ayers ? I encourage you to read this article. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=78929

The wealth moved from the upper class down to the impoverished, creating the middle class. That isn’t a redistribution? Just because it was earned by employing people at fair wages doesn’t mean it wasn’t a redistribution of wealth.

Look at Germany’s financial climate when Hitler came to power compared to the recession hitting the US now. He’s preying on people’s fear to gain greater control.

Also, look at the steps taken towards socialism by Obama. He wants to centralize control of the country’s wealth to government (he’s trying to place government at the head of ALL US banking). He wants the government to be in charge of healthcare. He’s claiming to be setting up a utopia of government providing for all needs…

“Fortunately for you, I’m not a Fister type.”

not knowing you from a hole in the wall, i
personally could live without being informed
about your predilection for fisting (pro or am);
otherwise get the names right!

I know, such as when Olga expressed regret that more people didn’t like her lol, and I told her there was nothing wrong with it and to keep making them anyway, then you jumped in and said how stupid I was.

Fail.

Also, there is nothing there to “answer.”

Epic fail.

You’re gonna get reamed for that, though.

“…Defendant bank rejected loan applications of minority applicants while approving loan applications filed by white applicants WITH SIMILAR FINANCIAL CHARACTERISTICS AND CREDIT HISTORIES.”

ACORN, Fannie and Freddie didn’t cause this cluster-foxtrot. What caused it was the derivative bond market.

Mortgage derivative bonds became such hot properties that there simply weren’t enough mortgages being written to feed the demand for bonds. That demand jacked loan origination fees through the roof and the mortgage companies got greedy – wrote mortgages for anyone with a pulse so they could collect their origination fee, sell the notes to the bonding companies and not have to worry about whether the loans would perform. From there, you had companies using their own analysts’ reputations to package crap loans into bonds with artificially high ratings, then hedging their positions with insanely self-destructive derivatives like credit default swaps.

Fannie and Freddie were CASUALTIES of this mess, not culprits.

I like how people are blasting it with no counter-plan of their own. I guess the previous plans of Bush have done great, haven’t they……..even though they took place before Obama even took office.

Anniee has the edge on being a phony…
anniee makes up stuff…
she invents being an ‘economist’, yet works shifts
she invents a ‘gay daughter’ while espousing fundamentalist Christian values,
she pretends to be in Mensa, while exhibiting an IQ well below 100
In the end, the best she can do is sexual insult, and accusing onthers of being Nazi, while barely knowing what the term means.
It would appear that Anniee is a mental cripple, a poseur and an easily exposed liar.

And I think it bears mentioning that Anniee devolves into personal attacks when questioned, then accuses her questioners of attacking first.

It’s kind of cute watching you to compete for it, though.

In the same way that Two Girls, One Cup is cute.
