Parameters

*
After a lot of thought, trying to describe the political landscape and warn people about the loss of their freedom, I figured that the best way to start is some sort of graphic that lays it all out - simply, or as simple as possible.

Here is my first attempt. Please feel free to criticise and put it to the test through commenting.

The next part, after perfecting the parameters, would be to define all the terms, which I have been attempting to do, before realizing that it may be too boring or wordy.

Facism or Socialism

Think about the definition of facism again.

Doesn't it have something to do with government controlling business and deciding what is or is not produced?

Freedom lets the citizen decide what s/he wants or needs.

Have you ever wondered why lawyers only learn case law and not constitutional law?

Why did Geithner flip from testifying to congress that he categorically was against a world currency but a day later when asked again said that a gradual "change" is okay.

Do you know how many prominent people want to get rid of our Constitution?

Why doesn't the press ever ask constitutionally related questions of our leaders?

Remember, I am not a conspiracy theorist. I just wonder why so many people support the Hitlers, Hugo Chavezes, Che Gueveras, etc.

Mom is insulted

Needless to say my mother was not happy with my characterization of her as a fascist. I just want to say that I mostly said this because it sounded funny. Like, “ my grandmother wears combat boots.” Sorry Mom. After a lengthy discussion yesterday I see that at least for that day she was not a fascist. I say that because on other days she says things that are fascistic. For example, she believes that the right to have children should be taken away and given to the state. Could that be characterized as fascistic? How about totalitarian? I’m positive it is elitist. Discussions with her show that she is generally not for fascistic policies but she votes for and or supports people that are. One reason for the website is to point out these people, much to the chagrin of those that just want to believe that everyone just wants to do good and get along. Stalin, Hitler, Che, Castro, Mao, Chavez, etc. all believe(d) that they are or were doing what was best for everyone, and killed or jailed millions, not to mention taking away many freedoms.

Recently my boss said, “Can’t we all just get along”, during a discussion on conspiracies perpetrated by the Federal Reserve, or at least the owners of it. I am not convinced that there is any sort of conspiracy of a few men that are controlling the world, i.e. the US, towards a one world government. I don’t believe that each and every president is either in on the secret before they get elected or that someone approaches them after being elected and told that they must do x, y or z or else… JFK… Reagan… If Reagan had died when he got shot there would have been a whole other conspiracy to deal with. Then there are the George Soroses of the world that admittedly really are for a socialist one world government. Socialists, communists and fascists all tend to be totalitarians.

One of the main reasons why I want to start a website is because of this “just wanting to get along” sentiment. The problem is that it usually means we should give up something, usually give up control or freedom for security. Benjamin Franklin said, “those that want to give up freedom for security deserve neither”, or something like that. Is that a mean spirited statement? Often, “just getting along” means giving up constitutional rights. People don’t realize that those constitutional protections were put in place against tyranny. This includes tyranny of the minority. If they truly believe that the constitution should be changed they should just go through the process rather than just ignoring it or letting the judges and politicians ignore it. George Soros is currently drafting up a new constitution.

I will refer to the Left generally because it makes it easier than to list everyone during a discussion. Over the course of time I will slowly identify those that comprise the Left. Generally the Left wants government control. They have utopian ideas that they want to force on everyone.

One of the attacks that freedom lovers usually get thrown at them is that they are mean. Mean for pointing out that someone is a fascist, for example. Mean for “wanting to let people suffer and die” and all sorts of other name calling. I will address each issue as they are presented. But, instead of taking offense I simply ask how or what have I said that is mean instead of resorting to name calling. My mother might take offense at being called a fascist but instead of resorting to leftist tactics and name calling she should ask me to prove that statement or she should retract any fascistic statements. I hope I have already clarified this point. And I hope she will respond on my website because I think it would be very illustrative of what is currently happening in America and the West.

My experience is that most default-Leftists (what do you call a person that supports a Leftist superficially and in effect but not knowledgably) refuse to get into an ongoing political tete-a-tete because all they are usually equipped with is name calling and mainstream media driven narratives. These narratives are produced and promoted by even famous and award winning journalists like Walter Durante of the New York Times and Nobel Laureats. For a very extensive definition and understanding of the people, power and control of the Left go here.

For a well researched brief on George Soros.

Elitism vs Fascism

Terms like "elitist" and "fascist" get thrown around a lot. Because of that they are often just dismissed when used.

Basically the difference is that a fascist puts into motion and takes control against the will of those it affects. An elistist just talks about doing it because they know best. Here is Wikipedia.



  • Fascism is a political philosophy, that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. --- Does Hugo Chavez or the “Fairness Doctrine” come to mind?
  • Elitism is the belief or attitude that a select group of people with outstanding personal abilities, intellect, wealth, specialized training or experience, or other distinctive attributes —are most likely to be constructive to society as a whole; or whose extraordinary skills, abilities or wisdom render them especially fit to govern. ---Does anti-American fit? The American ideal is "of the people, by the people, for the people"...
  • Totalitarian is a person that believes that the state or leader should regulate nearly every aspect of public and private life.

A great example of College Fascism.

A great brief on Fascism.

Name that Tune

What's in a name. Choosing a name can make or break a company. I need a name that reflects what my website is going to be about but it can't be boring. How many people are going to inadvertently find a website called "Freedom and Responsibility".

Here are a few that I've tossed around:
  • The Conservative Coalition - too narrow and has bagage and no appeal.
  • Media Watch - While more broad than some news watch websites it is still too narrow.
  • The People's Coalition - too commie sounding and boring.
  • The Fix - presumptuous, boring, non-explanitory.
  • The Freedom... just about anything, - is really boring even though it is probably the most important concept.
  • Rights and Wrongs - hmmm, since I plan to have a daily or weekly alert about the rights that we are loosing constantly.
  • Liberty at Risk - too narrow.
  • What about the Constitution? - Important but boring.
  • The Resistance - Who would have thought that our God given constitutional rights would be under assault and be the resistance against the establishment.
  • My Mom is a Fascist - I really like this one. She doesn't consider herself one but with a series of questions I can prove it. But, like most people she is a moving target, doesn't always give consistent answers.

I would invite all to comment or give me suggestions. The general idea is to unite all those that want freedom from those that want to control us, as long as we are responsible.

Goals

I have some ideas for a website that would include weekly alerts and alerts when they happen, when we lose rights as Americans. I dont want to give it all away but each step in the process of developing this blog, and eventually a website, I would ask for ideas.

Tomorrow I will discuss the first idea.
