Thanks for the advice Spain !

If we need any help in appeasing terrorists, we'll be sure to ask your country how to do this, since your country has experience in this field.

There's another lesson you could learn from Spain - what to do with lying Presidents in an election year!

You say that as if there's something wrong with Socialists. Oh well. I don't care what you replace Bush with, just as long as you replace him. You could elect a duck billed platypus and it would have more brains, be more eloquent and make better decisions than the moron you have now. ;D

Replace him with�Stalin? Is that good? What about Hitler? Or Mao? What about a guy who smears his body in **** to make art? Is he better?

Of course there's something wrong with socialists! It's social engineering, it hates the rich, it redistribution of wealth, and it is an ideology where the state is put in-front of the man and the business. You a socialist Troll?
The platypus can't talk better than Bush.

Those were separate paragraphs. I don't think he called Hitler a socialist.

Mussolini, the fascist fool, was a socialist.

And also, Hitler had many socialist beliefs, and quite a few would also characterize him as one also.

one of the reasons the world reacted to Hitler too late was because they saw him as a counterbalance to communism. He was a nationalist, not a socialist.

A national-socialist.

Yes, let's make up lies and insult other people inorder to make yourself seem smarter. Your primitive, childish insults only reflect on your own lack of knowledge, civility and lack of adult behavior.

The German Nazi Party called itself the "National Socialist Worker's Party", and in 1927, Hitler said, "We are socialists."

Just because the Nazis were nationalistic, does not mean Hitler did not implement various socialist programs and ideas.

If you read about what he did when he got into power you'll see he wasn't a socialist. Once Hitler was in power, he broke all promises he had made to the workers. He didn't nationalise industries, he persecuted trades unionists and relied on the support of German capitalists for German rearmament and the war effort.

The fact that the acronym from which the name "NAZI party" is drawn - NSDAP, Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, "National Socialist German Workers' Party" - contains the word "socialist" is an example of political spin (or, if you like, a lie).

How can you not be so dense. If Hitler said he was socialist then that is all there is to it. Just as if I stand in a garage and call myself a car over and over, then that must be what I am.

Or like those who bomb abortion clinics who claim to be Christians must be Christians

Of course, all enemies of the US are really socialists, communists, and/or terrorists. Common knowledge. Vote Republican!
