RC>>> But the fact remains, Nazism is meant to be a slur.

 BK>>  And communist or socialist is not? Wrongo!

 RC> The Nazi's committed great attrocities, while communists
 RC> dont have a golden track record, they havent come close to
 RC> the scale the Nazi's partook in...

 RC> Calling someone a Nazi in Germany is illegal for instance.

 That is a law I disagree with. It is also illegal to be a Nazi
 in Germany, another law I disagree with.

 RC>>> At the very least, socialism is the direction you yourself
 RC>>> would not mind seeing this country take and you buddy in
 RC>>> the whitehouse is trying his best to take us there..

 BK>>  Your ignorance should not be the driving force behind your
 BK>>  commentary.

 RC> Ignorance my foot, you people are striving real hard to
 RC> make govt as engrained in our lives as close relatives
 RC> would be.

 Govt was ingrained in your life long before there was such a
 thing as medicare or medicaid etc. Unless you are a lot younger
 than I think. Govt has been engrained in American lives ever
 since this country was founded.

 When it comes to socialism it doesn't matter whether you are
 talking state, federal, or local.

 BK>>  Long ago I posted that when I left the service I swore I could
 BK>>  never be a socialist, because I was convinced the government
 BK>>  couldn't run anything right. Then I was in the private sector
 BK>>  for a while, and realized private business was as bureaucratic
 BK>>  and screwed up as the government.

 RC> Businesses can be made to go away, simply dont patronize
 RC> them.. Short of rebellion, the same thing cant be done for
 RC> govt.

 Doesn't change human nature.

 RC> You might say vote them out, but in your case you wont be
 RC> happy until the socialists get replaced by stricter ones.

 Your ignorance is truly disturbing.

 RC>>> Are you saying the left wing isms are well known slurs?

 BK>>  Nowhere is it said what it is, only what it is used as. Your own
 BK>>  sentence above is an example. Copied immediately below.

 RC>>> But the fact remains, Nazism is meant to be a slur.

 RC> Calling someone a Nazi is lke cussing, calling you people
 RC> socialists or communists is calling youout for what you are.

 So, if I say you really are a Nazi, that's not a slur or
 cussing to call you one? Thanks, I'll remember that.
