Aw Sam... Every body knows that. I've been saying it for the past 5 years! -
Never heard of the fellow. Mid 20th century Europe? Did he take a side in the titanic struggle between big business and Bolshevism? Was his core support in the rural agricultural provinces or the cities? Neat picture, looks like he likes kids.Last edited by togor; 07-06-2018, 10:52.Comment

Togor, he also lost the popular vote in both rounds of the 1932 election. Similarities do abound...thanks Soggy Bottoms!"The first gun that was fired at Fort Sumter sounded the death-knell of slavery.

Hitler's socialistic Germany flourished at the expense of Poland, then France and so on.
Under socialistic obama the muslim nations flourished at the expense of America.Comment

Boy and the Allen-y hits just keep on coming!
Anyone who has undertaken even a half-serious study of Nazi Germany knows that the S-word was tossed in there during the formative years right after the war, during the time of great tumult when such terms had street popularity. Once the party found its footing it moved on and never looked back. Of course in Germany a strong state and big business comfortably coexist in ways that (until very recently) were contrary to the American way of doing things.
I have a friend who runs a painting business. Nice woman. Daughter of German refugees, who came over to America as teenagers after the war, to the Chicago area. To pick up some extra cash, she got a gig as a LTE (limited term employee) doing some painting work at the Governor's Mansion, in Madison, WI. That would be GOP Governor Scott Walker, of public employee union busting (and sh*tty roads) fame. One time she was working in the kitchen area when some nice GOP ladies were in there making pretzel snacks, etc., in anticipation of some GOP party on the grounds that weekend. Listening to the wives chatting was a fly-on-the-wall moment for her. Talking about black people, the recall (and those awful awful protests), etc., the ladies covered a lot of ground. Memorable phrase heard: "I'm not racist, but...."
Hint: when you have precede your remark like that, then whatever comes next is probably going to sound pretty racist.
Graphics like Sam's kind of remind me of that. Yeah our guy favors big business, hates unions, is aggressively nationalistic and a right wing populist with a base in the rural heartland, regularly uses race-baiting rhetoric and has a fondness for large rallies, but really the comparison should be towards the other guys!

Read "The 25 Points of the Nazi Party" -- 14 of them are Socialist, at least in part.
And of course, NAZI is an acronym for "National Zocialism." And note how their political tactics -- beating people who disagree with them, keeping others from speaking, and so on, are so slavishly copied by the Regressives in this country these days.Comment

Oh I have, and as I said, they're from the early days, when the party was scraping by among a glut of similar parties. The right question to ask is "which points lay fallow and which sprang to life when the party came into power?" Politicians throw a mix of sh*t on the wall as they figure out what sticks. A universal truth, that is.
If someone is going to ignore the Nazi body of work from 1933-1945 and instead focus on a pamphlet from the 1920s as the basis for a claim, then it is an obvious attempt to mislead. Only a sucker would fall for it.Last edited by togor; 07-06-2018, 02:34.Comment

Sure seemed like you and Red believe that image that you posted, Sam. The way it's constructed, the makers clearly knew they were constructing a lie. Do you and Red actually believe that lie yourselves or just wish it was true? Hard for me to tell, speaking honestly, and at some level it makes no difference.Comment
