MM, I`m sorry but, you would make a great political leader in this country, I believe you missed your calling. All he asked for was a yes or no answer, that`s all, yes or no. And what do you give him? Wind, plain and simple, a line of spiel a mile long. It really makes me wonder just what your true agenda is. To open people eyes as to whats going on over here? I can`t see that any more, not after these last question and answer threads. As with a good politician, they don`t answer a question straight forward, they can`t, it would give them away, so they talk around it. Just watch the political debates that go on just before an election, it`s the same thing. And now, your starting to sound just like them. Sure, what your saying sounds good and all, but, I believe your starting to drive it into the ground, it`s like a tape recorder set on loop. If you can`t answer his question with a simple yes, or no, then I suggest you give it a rest.

Because of your warlike mentality you took it to mean an actual attack on your country.
And no amount of name calling, insults or any other Patriotic statement is going to change the outcome of what is about to happen.

1.) Powerful and Continuing Nationalism: Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2.) Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights: Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause: The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
Supremacy of the Military: Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
Rampant Sexism: The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid.
Opposition to abortion is high
Obsession with National Security: Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
Religion and Government are Intertwined: Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
Corporate Power is Protected: The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts: Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
Obsession with Crime and Punishment: Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations
Rampant Cronyism and Corruption: Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
Fraudulent Elections: Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
Dose any of this sound familiar?

SPOT, what high well educated wise words from yet another arrogant and ignorant American. I bet you would have loved the Nazis and their despot regime, they did exactly what you propose, that is wage war based on the superiority of its own people against all others and committed crimes against humanity just like the US has done and is doing.
Have you got you flags, drums and shiny boots yet I believe Walmart are doing a discount on them. Given the US's population you would think there would be at least some people who had the cranial fortitude who could post logical and rational discussions about this thread but it would appear not to be the case.
What A fine specimen you are in representing your country with your well chosen words. And you wonder why people hate America.

MM is not lying he is telling the truth.
America is a fascism, or at least we are well on our way to becoming one.
Terrorism is just propaganda that our own U.S. government has used against us as an excuse to invade the Middle East.
George Bush is a brilliant conman because he has convinced us that he is "incompetent", when in fact it is my opinion that Bush is faking his stupidity
MM is absolutely right when he says that America is Nazi Germany right before WWII. Adolf Hitler had his soldiers attack its own people disguised as Jews so that Germany would actually believe that they were being attacked by an enemy.
Then the Germans had their rights taken away for the sake of "security", sounds similar to the Patriot Acts and Fisa bill to me.

FIAT, if you cannot even be bothered to read what I post whats the point, America and its people are hated for the killing it does, get that through you thick head. Its America's Foreign Policy that is the problem backed up by PNAC and America's Global ambitions that is causing the problems.
Yet again not one of you so called Americans can even discuss these policies and they are yours
, they are not made up by me so its obvious to me that you cannot even be bothered to find out just what is going on in your own country and that is just plain ignorance.
And I know I dont have to worry about you attacking my country because we own and are running yours smart ass.
And far from seeing through my little game you cannot even see with your eyes. Not one of you have even been a challenge to me, it becoming rather tedious not having intelligent people to chat to, but as they say you have to use the cards you are dealt.
CON, DENIAL, DENIAL,DENIAL, I have to be kind and say to you that you are really a silly old fool. I really love the way you try to say I am a liar when I have stated things that even your own president has said, eminent Americans and lay Americans alike. Yet you say its all lies. Well you have given it your best shot yet have come up wanting I'm affraid. You see you can never stiffle the voice of thruth. No matter how many times you tell yourself, no matter how many times you discuss it with your mates, it dose not change one thing.
