Do you know what a fascist is? I'd say you are doing a pretty good imitation....

Bald Eagle, Did any American right wing extremist bomb your parents' house?? We have no need to silence you, but we are not required to sit back and listen to your drivel without responding in whatever, non-violent, way we choose. You just stumbled around and fell into somewhere you don't belong. To quote Harry Truman, "If you can't stand the heat in the kitchen, get out of the kitchen." You are not stable enough to maintain a vigorous debate. You get your poor little feelings hurt too easily. Go be a cry baby somewhere else. The Jackass thread comes to mind when I think of a place that would welcome you.

You're wrong. That is not the definition of a fascist.

Main Entry: fas·cism Pronunciation: 'fa-"shi-z&m also 'fa-"si- Function: noun Etymology: Italian fascismo, from fascio bundle, fasces, group, from Latin fascis bundle & fasces fasces 1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition 2 : a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control Many RWE qualify The idea is to limit debate by controlling others:"forcible suppression of opposition" Also, hoping that your fellow RWE will agree with you is very important. Otherwise, they fear becoming the controled. rather than the controller. It's based on fear. Secrecy and propaganda are the primary tool of government control in the Information Age. The government must control the debate.
