There were many Germans saying the same thing in WWII.

The fight against fascism has to be unrelenting. Once they gain a public forum squawking about their right to speak freely, they use it to close down any opposing viewpoints. Education is the key, repeatedly pointing out how they ruin the civility and culture in a country. They squawk about freedoms, then take them away from all but the chosen few. They promise the rich upper classes how much more they will get, and then leave the economy in ruins. They "support the troops" and then leave the vet homeless to freeze on the sidewalk. They pass out $300 tax cuts to people needing $3000 of dental work and then make the price of gas triple to take it away from them.

I remember going to Radio Shack back in '93, and the scene on all the TVs was Hillary pitching her health care plan. The minimum wage clerk was spouting the standard right wing invective against her and I had to laugh. Here I was, listening to hear what might this new plan be, maybe it would be an improvement on my company paid health insurance, while someone who didn't have insurance wouldn't listen to the first word.

All I can think is that it is too shaming for a freeper redneck to admit that he got bamboozled by fascists into helping them. :dunce: To paraphrase Mark Twain, "When I was a conservative, I thought liberals were the stupidest people to walk the face of the earth. Then after my job was outsourced and my kids got sick, and our house got damaged in the flood, it's amazing how much smarter those liberals got."
