Hitler wasn't a socialist? I KNOW you American socialist like to disown him, but Therefore we demand: 11. That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished. 12. Since every war imposes on the people fearful sacrifices in blood and treasure, all personal profit arising from the war must be regarded as treason to the people. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits. 13. We demand the nationalization of all trusts. 14. We demand profit-sharing in large industries. 15. We demand a generous increase in old-age pensions. 16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle-class, the immediate communalization of large stores which will be rented cheaply to small tradespeople, and the strongest consideration must be given to ensure that small traders shall deliver the supplies needed by the State, the provinces and municipalities. 17. We demand an agrarian reform in accordance with our national requirements, and the enactment of a law to expropriate the owners without compensation of any land needed for the common purpose. The abolition of ground rents, and the prohibition of all speculation in land. 18. We demand that ruthless war be waged against those who work to the injury of the common welfare. Traitors, usurers, profiteers, etc., are to be punished with death, regardless of creed or race. .................................... 20. In order to make it possible for every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education, and thus the opportunity to reach into positions of leadership, the State must assume the responsibility of organizing thoroughly the entire cultural system of the people. The curricula of all educational establishments shall be adapted to practical life. The conception of the State Idea (science of citizenship) must be taught in the schools from the very beginning. We demand that specially talented children of poor parents, whatever their station or occupation, be educated at the expense of the State. 21. The State has the duty to help raise the standard of national health by providing maternity welfare centers, by prohibiting juvenile labor, by increasing physical fitness through the introduction of compulsory games and gymnastics, and by the greatest possible encouragement of associations concerned with the physical education of the young. Sound like Communism? COMMON GOOD BEFORE INDIVIDUAL GOOD 25. In order to carry out this program we demand: the creation of a strong central authority in the State, the unconditional authority by the political central parliament of the whole State and all its organizations. historyplace.com And you think that makes the GOP inclusive? And you think that makes the GOP inclusive? How many did Slick have? Or was he too busy with BJs to bother? And btw one of the those black secretary of states holds his nose when he speaks of Bush these days. Documentation? Remember, you aren't going to away with any more wils of-the-wall claims. Hispanic? And you're from CA? Yeah, stupid. And that'a a commony used term out here. From the LA Times: The case is an echo of a private lawsuit filed against the Sterlings in 2003 on behalf of about 20 mostly black and Latino tenants or prospective tenants. According to that suit, filed by the Housing Rights Center, a Los Angeles nonprofit group, Sterling had told members of his staff that he did not like to rent to Latinos or African Americans because "Hispanics smoke, drink and just hang around the building," and "black tenants smell and attract vermin." latimes.com Groups such as Common Cause, Free Press and the National Hispanic Media Coalition are organizing town meetings across the country — including one in Los Angeles on Aug. 31. And Martin has pledged to hold a "half dozen" official hearings of his own, though he hasn't announced a time or place for any of them. latimes.com Yeah, well, at a minimum, Patrick is white, and NASCAR is still a whites-only club. Perhaps for now, but not for want of trying. NASCAR is desperately trying to place African Americans and Hispanics (and no, Montoya does not qualify) in drivers' seats, with a high-profile program chaired by NBA Hall-of-Famer Magic Johnson. You may, of course, take this program as evidence of Daytona Beach's heretofore underappreciated commitment to the advancement of civil rights. Or you may take it for what it is: diversity marketing. latimes.com Maybe you should visit the west coast before mothing off. Where do you live? Next time you ask that question, I'll bring it to Dave's attention.
