The right wing is the American fascists. They, like their Nazi counterparts are best at it Joseph Goebbels was a master. The first propaganda agency was "The Committee on Public Information " It is one of history's great ironies that Woodrow Wilson, who was re- elected as a peace candidate in 1916, led America into the First World War.  With the help of a propaganda apparatus that was unparalleled in world history, Wilson forged a nation of immigrants into a fighting whole.  An examination of public opinion before the war, propaganda efforts during the war, and the endurance of propaganda in peacetime raises significant questions about the viability of democracy as a governing principle.

Like an undertow, America's drift toward war was subtle and forceful.  According to the outspoken pacifist Randolph Bourne, war sentiment spread gradually among various intellectual groups.  "With the aid of Roosevelt," wrote Bourne, "the murmurs became a monotonous chant, and finally a chorus so mighty that to be out of it was at first to be disreputable, and finally almost obscene." Once the war was underway, dissent was practically impossible.  " If you believed our going into this war was a mistake," wrote The Nation in a post-war editorial, "if you held, as President Wilson did early in 1917, that the ideal outcome would be 'peace without victory,' you were a traitor." Forced to stand quietly on the sidelines while their neighbors stampeded towards war, many pacifists would have agreed with Bertrand Russell that "the greatest difficulty was the purely psychological one of resisting mass suggestion, of which the force becomes terrific when the whole nation is in a state of violent collective excitement." As is the right about the billionaire bigot that was just elected to the most powerful office in the world

Let us have a true Democracy then. Let us vote on whether or not to allow your precious wetbacks to become amnestied citizens of this country. Let us vote on whether or not drones who have never held a job, contributed anything other than carbon dioxide to society should be allowed to decide how much the people who work for a living should have extorted from their checks for said drones support. People like you think that non-citizens should be allowed to vote. I agree, just as soon as American citizens are allowed to vote in Mexican elections.
You think that an 18 year old who has yet to graduate high school, has never had a job, or his or her own home, or paid a tax, supported a family, served in the military or in most cases has not even fully developed their decision making capability should have the same say as a thirty year old taxpayer who has done all these things. Your Utopian California society would collapse under it's own weight in a few months into a complete anarchy.
Like most Liberal Hobbit Dancers, you are a Bakuninite at heart.
Democrats believe that the vote of a clueless immature teeny-bopper should count as much as that of a responsible adult. It shows that you, yourself lack maturity and responsibility. You want rights without responsibility. You want from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs. This is the battle cry not only of Karl Marx, but of leeches who have never produced anything of tangible worth. Equality is earned, not bestowed by the misguided belief of some butthurt Liberal spin doctor. A dishwasher should make as much money as a neurosurgeon. Your fantasy world is a non starter, as is your misguided beliefs on the supposed "qualities" of Liberals.

WOW, You apparently love to makeup history! All the facts I quoted came from just Obama's terms as President, and it seems you can't answer a single one of them. The over 15 million unemployed Americans dropped from the 'US Workforce' report is about a year and a half old, and by now I'm sure that number is over 16 million unemployed Americans dropped from the 'US Workforce', and the BLS statistics show that never a single one was ever added back in, despite a false economic recovery of 7 years and 4 months straight. When Obama became President in the depth and throes of the Bush recession, there were only 17 million Americans on 'Welfare& Food Stamps', and 5 months later started 7 years and 4 months straight of Obama's June 2009 declared economic recovery, but today we now have over 48 million Americans on 'Welfare & Food Stamps', and some say that number is actually over 50 million, but lets use Obama's BLS statistics anyway, a nearly three fold increase of Americans on 'Welfare & Food Stamps', all during 7 years and 4 months straight of an economic recovery. What is wrong with this picture, is everyone (Obama & BLS) telling the truth? I guess in your mind the American people haven't suffered enough under Obama and the Democrats, but fortunately enough the majority of Americans have decided we have, and voted that way to stop Hillary Clinton from continuing all of Obama's failed policies and agendas, and elected Donald Trump as our next President. Thank GOD!

The first to fall will hopefully be Obamacare, which most Americans have learned the hard way that they cannot afford to pay for it, and the ones that can afford to pay for it can't afford to use it because the deductibles and copays are so astronomically high. Getting rid of Obamacare will help the economy out tremendously, by allowing companies to afford to hire more workers, but most of all give the American people much more discretionary money to spend, since they aren't forced to pay for Obamacare any more, and will be able to spend that tremendous amount of saved money from being forced to purchase something that they don't want or need, on other things that will create demand for more manufactured goods and services, putting even more people back to work, and that will create the spending even more money in our economy. Discretionary spending is the life-blood of any economy, and having it will cause it to grow. Obamacare has robbed the American people of their discretionary money, to spend freely on what they want, need, and/or desire.

Socialism and Communism does the exact same thing as Fascism, it has the government take over the businesses and religion, and enslaves the people through the rationing distribution of the needs of the people. This is the same thing that Obama and the Democrats have tried to do for the last 8 years, take over our healthcare system and ration it out to people who will accept their dominance, by stipends to pay for what the Democrats themselves made unaffordable, and by forcing everyone on what the government provides for them. They also attacked our religious freedom, allowing Muslims to be completely exempt from their Democratic Party law of Obamacare, while forcing Christians into it against their will and against their religious beliefs. They have tried to destroy our 2nd Amendment through the unlegislated laws of 'Executive Orders & Decrees', using federal agencies and departments to implement unlegislated laws through rules and regulations, and limiting our free speech through laws of 'Hate Speech', which only those in power can determine what that hate speech is, since it is not clearly defined and very ambiguous. All this is precisely the definition that you yourself use for fascism, again your own words prove your claim to be false. Don't answer this blog, bother the other people who accept your ignorance, you tire me by your ignorance and I've had enough of your stupidity.

I'm aware of all of that and the fact the founders settled on a Republic because they wanted to be Aristocrats and believed a Democracy was rule by mob and that the common man was not capable of participating in government that only the educated elite should rule. The government they created did not allow Native Americans, women, indentured servants, black slaves, or landless peasants vote or even serve on a jury. The Democracy the nation has attained was fought for with blood sweat and tears. Democracy and capitalism has been at odds forever. Sometimes Democracy surges such as it did from 1933 to 1973 but most of the time capitalism wins such as it has since 1973. Since capitalism collapsed for the second time in my lifetime in 2008 I thought I sensed a surge in Democracy but it wasn't to be we will have to wait a while longer.

From the pharaohs of ancient Egypt to the self-regarding thugs of ancient Rome to the glorified warlords of medieval and absolutist Europe, in nearly every urbanized society throughout human history, there have been people who have tried to constitute themselves as an aristocracy. These people and their allies are the conservatives.
The tactics of conservatism vary widely by place and time. But the most central feature of conservatism is deference: a psychologically internalized attitude on the part of the common people that the aristocracy are better people than they are. Modern-day liberals often theorize that conservatives use "social issues" as a way to mask economic objectives, but this is almost backward: the true goal of conservatism is to establish an aristocracy, which is a social and psychological condition of inequality. Economic inequality and regressive taxation, while certainly welcomed by the aristocracy, are best understood as a means to their actual goal, which is simply to be aristocrats.

More generally, it is crucial to conservatism that the people must literally love the order that dominates them. Of course this notion sounds bizarre to modern ears, but it is perfectly overt in the writings of leading conservative theorists such as Burke. Democracy, for them, is not about the mechanisms of voting and office-holding. In fact conservatives hold a wide variety of opinions about such secondary formal matters. For conservatives, rather, democracy is a psychological condition. People who believe that the aristocracy rightfully dominates society because of its intrinsic superiority are conservatives; democrats, by contrast, believe that they are of equal social worth. Conservatism is the antithesis of democracy. This has been true for thousands of years.
