  1. Re:In Soviet America... on Patriot Act to be Expanded · · Score: 5, Informative

    A point...

    Although it can be said that the Nazi's borrowed some ideas from mainstream socialist thought such as the expansion of social benifits in the form of programs such as old age pensions, they did not follow many of the core principles of socialism. They opposed the concept of class conflict that is key to most socialist thought. Moreover, their embrace of nationalism, a idealist philosophy, is in direct conflict with the materialist beliefs of most developed forms of socialism. Additionally, most of the more socialist oriented members of the nazi party were killed in the "The Night of the Long Knifes" which was a purge of the left-wing of the Nazi party that Hitler used to consolidate his power. The Nazi government should not be viewed as socialist, but rather corporatist in that Hitler utilized powerful corporations (VW, BMW, MB, etc...) in order to acheive his production goals rather than acheive them directly though the state.

    Doesn't that seem a bit counterintuitive, that is to have your /home mounted locally rather than on NFS?

    People called for Dan Rather's resignation over a largely political issue (fired over not checking the font? A blunder yes, but not damning).

    Can you please illustrate how fox news has "balance" in their reporting.

    Their main anchor, Brit Hume, is a commentator for the conservative American Spectator. Their daytime anchor, David Asman, worked for the notoriously conservative Wall Street Journal editorial page as well as the conservative Manhatten Institute.

    Aside from bias in their news reporting, just look at their main pundits (Hannity, Colmes, and O'Reilly). Hannity is extremely conservative, Colmes is a moderate liberal who can't stand up for himself (much less for the values of liberalism) and O'Reilly is definitely conservative despite his claims to the contrary.

    I think you are confusing civil and constituional rights. The courts can exonerate a law constitutionally, but that does not mean that civil rights are protected. Moreover, look in the case of the civil rights movement. The courts started changing the precendent with court cases such as Brown vs. the Board of Education, but much of the legal end to segregation came from legislative acts such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

    I'm sorry -- but that just doesn't make any sense to me. What is an "equitable" way to get rich? I haven't seen any overlords with whips beating the backs of workers to get them to perform. They work of their own accord. And if they want, they can leave.
    Ah yes, the basis for Capitalism. Overlords are not neccessary in this system. We have the freedom to work for a wage (or salary) or starve, or at least that's what most people who want to get rid of Welfare want it to be. Whether it it better than other systems nonwithstanding, nobody works for their own accord.
