Yes, I think the problem is the facts show quite clearly that the Republican Party has made the hazardous leap into full blown fascism since the turn of the millennium. Perhaps earlier, in fact. Fascists are not really known for their literal interpretations of history or their honesty during debates. 1

The philosophy of progressivism is not simply to achieve progress. Lincoln cannot be linked to the modern progressive, whose philosophy post-dates Lincoln. Incidentally, here is a relevant video 1

Lincoln cannot be linked to the modern progressive False. He has been. http://davidholahan.com/bookreviews/ whose philosophy post-dates Lincoln Bullshit. All trees start from a seed. In other news from Amarel: American law makes war 3,000 miles away legal, UN personnel told to favour domestic law over international law, and failing to break Geneva Conventions proves they have no jurisdiction. Yay! I should have said Lincoln cannot honestly be linked to progressivism. Bullshit. All trees start from a seed I don't suppose that progressives pulled their bullshit out of thin air. But if you want to start with some "seed", one might as well claim John Adams as the first Progressive since he also sought to suppress freedom of speech. As for the rest of your tripe, the UN still has no actual jurisdiction over sovereign nations; that's why their laws are only imposed on weak nations and those that lose wars. They physically cannot be imposed elsewhere. I might as well write some laws and pretend people broke them; since I can't enforce my laws, that puts me in the same boat with the UN. If calling torture by another name means that it's not torture, then I guess your last criticism is correct. |
