      Nazis also had policies that specifically called against "special rights" for minorities.

      Sound familiar?

      So, now FOX is asking Marine corporals for their thoughts on constitutional law, and history? Because he got both answers wrong.

      The Constitution is a document that establishes our system of government. Further, each state admitted into the Union has a state Constitution, establishing the governance of that particular state. It is not an agreement between the people, the states, and the federal government.

      Speaker Pelosi did not call protesters Nazis. Not once. Not kinda. Not a little bit. She pointed out that they were bringing swastikas to demonstrations, which they were. The swastikas were being used in an attempt to lable our President and his health reform initiative as Nazism by the demonstrators themselves.

      Corporal, nobody is trying to foist socialism on you. Nobody is trying to 'indoctrinate' your kids. You want to know what your kids are learning in school? Admirable. Go to their school and talk to their teachers. Going to a town hall and accusing your congressman of socialism isn't helping you or your kids one tiny little bit. Got you on TV, though, huh?

      It seems the town halls have settled down a little bit, if this is the best they can do on the right to keep this false meme going. Why don't they bother to cover actual interesting questions from these events? You know, something that might be newsworthy? Something they could investigate and then inform the American people about? Too much work, I suppose.

        Angry, misinformed Troglodytes pointing and yelling makes much better TV.

          I recommend reading this book if you haven't already.

          Mr. Pierce makes the same point that you do, and shows why and how it's all working in society today.

        Funny, a Marine Corporal has an issue with socialism, when, the USMC and all military branches are the most socialist organizations that we have in the country.

        They get their healthcare paid for and taken care of, they get clothed and fed, they get free transportation, and so on and so forth.

          Yet no one seems to mind that we include a large number of "socialist welfare states" in NATO.

          It's funny you mentioned that. I was thinking last night about how the most socialist military in the world (ours) kicked the butts of the most capitalist military in the world (UK)! Back during the revolutionary war 99 out of 100 british officers bought their rank. Many of the greatest military blunders in british military history can be atributed to incompetant officers who paid their way to the top!

        Nobody is trying to 'indoctrinate' your kids.

        Unless you live in Texas, where the line between church and state has been crossed in their school system.

      Of course it's what you "see". In fact, you see it every time you look in a mirror.
