These statements are nothing new in fact, this type of labeling was a favorite tactic of Stalin in regard to his purges and even more effectively used by Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Hitlers “propaganda minister”.

Whats interesting to me is that both Stalin and Goebbels used the tactic of labeling their own citizenry or more specific political opposition “fanatics” as the most effective means to an end. Whats puzzling to me is when i think of these so-called fascist Bolton, Bush, McCain and compare their words and actions to those of the great Fascist Notables of the past like Hitler and Mussolini, I have a hard time lining them up.

For example someone on this site please find me quotes, references or policies made by Bush and supported by Bolton that refer to their political opposition as sub-human and in need of a final solution. Furthermore, direct me to policies enacted by Bush that lead to the mass graves in the Montana wilderness or butchery of Gypsies. Sure you can retort with some sort of Iraq death count but then Iraqi’s and history will record who the real “Butcher of Baghdad” was even if you cant bring yourself to face the evil committed by the true Nazi, Saddam.

Obviously, I think most of you who hate Bush are actually the ones in this Nation who harbor the ability and intense hatred needed to exact or advocate your own “final solution” on those who don’t share your world view, mainly the despised and “evil” Neo-Cons. Now do i say that tough and cheek, YES, but it has been my understanding of History throught context and perspective that Fascism is actually a product of the Leftist movements for which most of you Bush haters would identify yourselves with, at least in a modern America context.

Let me leave you with food for thought and of course i know some of you nut jobs out there intoxicated on your sense of “freedom” probably wont have the ability to see the irony, the context or perspective that surrounds this historical comparison but thats your problem and not ours.

1.Executive Order 9066- Interment of the Japanese-American by FDR. Now wouldn’t FDR be a much better example of an American President who behaved in a manor more similar to Hitler and his SS. The rounding up of innocent civilians in the name of Nationalism/Protectionism, throwing their liberties out the door in the name of protecting the “state”. FDR a real American President and Fascist who actually enacted policies that imprisoned Americans en mass

2. Then there is JFK and i quote from his speech to the nation during the Cuban Missile Crisis “Neither the United States of America nor the world community of nations can tolerate deliberate deception and offensive threats on the part of any nation, large or small.” Clearly from the historical record one can see that JFK was willing to put enemies not only on notice that his “regime” would not tolerate threats but would furthermore, strike first if certain demands were not met by sworn enemies. Isn’t this a better example of the doctrine of preemption then Iraq for example. I mean there was Gulf War 1, treaties of surrender were signed, no fly zones imposed, military operations continued all through the 1990’s under President Clinton. I think America and the Left need to look only to President Kennedy when considering “warmongering” and the policy of preemption. Lets not forget, it was Kennedy who saw the enormous threat of Communism in the early 1960’s in SE Asia and mongered us into the Vietnam Conflict.

3. Last but not least a favorite of mine and real interesting study into American Presidents, their policies and oppositions. President Abraham Lincoln, oh what a douzy he pulled off. He mongered the North into war with the South, preemptively I might add, only to lose the first 3 years of the war and hundreds of thousands of American lives on both sides. But this policy Lincoln pursued of Unity of the states over Separation only gets better. He actually suspended Habeas Corpus, for you civil liberty minded moonbats, thats the right to due process for American citizens under the Constitution. Yep he did it in 1861 and 1862. Furthermore Lincoln removed several elected officials in the government under the sedition acts, in lay terms for “treason”, for hindering and giving aid and comfort to the enemy through merely expressing their opposition to “his” war on the innocent Southerns. Of course in good ol’ America fashion the “doves” of the time didnt take this laying down and had plenty to say about it. You Bush haters might be relieved to know or maybe in a sick way jealous of the fact that Lincoln’s detractors actually treated him worse then you have treated GWB over these past 7 years, distorted the reality and facts of the time in a manor that narrowly out weighs your disgusting actions of today.

In sum I have identified FDR, JFK and Lincoln as three American Presidents more worthy of the title warmonger or fascist. These three men committed acts in my opinion far beyond the scope of anything Bolton, Bush or McCain have supported or ordered. When the left decides to use the concepts of perspective and context when looking at historical events maybe then they will begin to understand how stupid they sound when blabbing about modern events. Whether you on the left like it or not Bush has the determination of JFK, the unpopularity but vision of Lincoln and the well intentioned if not misguided policy choices of FDR, all Great Americans with an understanding of history put in perspective and context! c-ya moonbats and by the way war with Iran will look nothing like that of Iraq, you ever heard of EMP bombs, well read up. To stop Iran all America needs to do is set a couple of those devices off and the whole nation switches off, not a jet, car, radio or bomb will work within 50 miles of ground zero and not a single innocent Mullah who screams death to America in the streets will loose their life, just their ability to broadcast the Friday prayer calling for our annihilation!

Ahhh so spoiled for choices in this democracy….

Meh. I’m sure it’s just an escalation in the Nancy Ajram/Haifa Wehbe war.

He’s in la la land.

There’s a lot of hype about the “threat” that Iran poses to the Middle East. Iran last invaded another country, oh about 300 YEARS AGO.

On the other hand the C.I.A. engineered a coup in 1953 that overthrew the elected leader of Iran and installed a dictator (the shah).
In 2003 we bombed the sh** out of their neighbors (remember shock and awe?) based on lies (935 lies by the recently released report)and occupied them while having troops in their neighbor on the opposite side (Afghanistan)
All the while maintaining a war fleet right on the edge of their territorial waters trying to provoke an incident while issuing belligerent and dishonest statements trying to provoke that incident that will give us the excuse to bomb the sh** out of them.

Can you imagine if the roles were reversed and a Muslim nation bombed the crap out of and occupied Mexico based on lies creating death, destruction and a flood of refugees, simultaneously had troops in Canada while maintaining a threatening war fleet off the coast of Florida.
All the while issuing belligerent rhetoric and having leaders that were itching to bomb us, possibly with tactical nukes or “bunker buster” bombs.
Now THAT WOULD BE A THREAT!

The “I’ve got mine, to hell with you” era is coming to a close.

Executive Order ____ (President Obama): John Bolton is hereby required to have his leash shortened.
