Perfect illustration of Conservatism's fatal contradiction

Jon Stewart and matt/trey parker are the same? They're polar opposites (though both can be hilarious) politically.


Also, it's funny how we talk about what are "conservatives," when the rest of the world sees our liberals as conservative. To most, we have a far right party and a center-right party.

Get any more conservative, and we're entering fascism.

"COMMUNAZI"------A perfect descriptive term to describe the far left mental fog of those who think that all that IS and all human action is just random movement of somehow (and here they lose me) self existent non-derived material particles. Since there is no higher pre-existent personal being or source for any of THIS, then we must be the highest derivative of all that has come from the random interaction of vibrational energetic particles of those self existent material whatevers. What naturally follows is the conceit of arrogance, "I am, therefore, I am, in lieu of any higher authority, the author of my own morality, or lack there of". Thus we have the second tier French aristocracy organizing the Parisian mob to utterly destroy any and all remnants of previous order and established precedent to open the field to them to enjoy all the fruits of the remnant society's sources of pleasure and debauchery. The first communist revolution, the not so "Glorious" French Revolution was the opening of the Left's march to world domination, if somewhat periodic in it's successes. Hitler's rise to power and his rapid fall all were derived from the identical geshtalt of self proclaimed philosophers and "scientists" who arrogantly learned one true thing and then derived entire world views from their religiously held, self aggrandizing, righteously defended proclamations of "TRUTH" . Hitler's socialism, racial determinism, and totalitarianism are directly derived from the whole Leftist Darwinist Progressive Scientific conceit of the, at the time, highest scientific and technologically advanced culture on Earth, the just defeated German Nation. Hitler's heroes were the American Progressives, Margaret Sanger's Eugenics was a big hit in his circles. Il Deuce was a Bolshevik who saw the political reality in Italy so he twisted the ideology just a bit to make it work in the local conditions. Socialism is 'the State owning the means of production', Fascism is the 'Producer Elite owning the State', Communism is 'the State magically evaporating and the workers collectively owning everything' (sigh). All the same leftist drivel.

My mind is reeling from all these incredible new insights you've provided.

Corporations are just individuals pooling their resources toward a common business goal. It is the corporate/fascist practice of achieving monopoly through business-governmental synthesis that has polluted capitalism and results in the evil that the leftist practitioners of the same decry as the failures of capitalism when in fact it is the failure of government intervention in business that is the root of the problems.

Case in point: it was the purpose of the national party in the mid 19th century to meld business with a strong centralized National government to "open" the west to the exploitation of the Eastern banker/railroad/manufacturing interest. After defeating the Southern states they sent the freed-up Army out into the west to round up the free red peoples and confine them to reservations. The same government-big business synthesis put bounties on the heads of the free range buffalos that fed and clothed the free red peoples, thus destroying their economic base and making them easy to control. It was the same policy that most of the Southern people had fought against in the War of Northern Aggression orchestrated by my 2nd cousin Abe. My Texas and Missouri ancestors had already left the South for Washington and California in the 1830's but my North Carolina ancestor fought for the olden concept of State sovereignty and diffuse "federal" separation of powers that the new Republican (Progressive-Eastern Establishment Nationalist) Party started the war to overthrow. It is since that time that the monopoly-capitalist interest has been in charge in the U.S. Following the clearance of the west and the granting of lands to the Eastern interest group, the nation was opened to immigrants in waves from Europe to take lands, but more importantly, mortgages in the west. Then it was merely a matter of causing business cycles through interest manipulations to seize back the developed properties and mortgage them out to the next wave of immigrant suckers, all brought to us by monopoly-capitalism, otherwise known as fascism.
