AMERICAN CONSERVATISM IN 2008 AND BEYOND

Find one mainstream book . . . not a right wing website meant to deceive . . . that supports your misguided notion that the Nazis were leftists.

BTW, that you would propose common sense as a solution, as you often do, is sheer hypocrisy. You are one of the least common sensical people I have ever run across. I told you that if you represented the center as zero and the range from left to right with numbers, that you would be at the extreme end of the right while I would be somewhere about 3/4 of the way to the end of the left. There are several posters here who are much to the left of me and many people I know in life.

Business leadership has to compete among themselves to obtain profits. Government leadership has to compete among themselves for votes to obtain power.

It is appropriate to point out to you that at the time the Declaration of Independence was written and declared, it would have been radically right wing most likely, and so far to the right as to be completely off the scale.

Because the right has used its ill-gotten gains to keep everyone else down. Think of the right's great moments of triumph: slavery, Jim Crow, etc.

There is no competition in America anymore. Consider how almost all retail outlets are national. When i posted about the man who opens doughnut stores not to sell doughnuts but to establish businesses that can be taken over by Dunkin' Donuts, some right wing cloaca said real estate development is good business.

It would be different if the man had been honest and went into real estate development but, liar that he is, he pretended to sell doughnuts.

the other thing is the right loves conformity. there used to be hundreds of small time American designers creating original clothing and now there are just a handful. The right hates competition. It tries to eliminate all competition.

There are some left wing commercial movements now that come under the heading of locavore.

The right spoils everything for everybody.

Please stop using outsized bold type faces. They look dumb. It's the sort of thing 8 year old do.
