Lawrence's comment: "Porn Subscriber Freeks" is a little daunting. Is he saying that those who view porn on the internet are "freeks"? Really? What an adult does with his own money, in the privacy of his own home .... is a freek?

If they espouse the righteousness of 'family values' and rail against sex in any form other than a man and his wife, then yes, they are freaks.

The 14 Defining Characteristics Of Fascism
Free Inquiry

Spring 2003

5-11-2003

Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler
(Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several
Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to
each:

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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to
be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender
roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed
and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family
institution.

6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly
controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly
controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and
executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a
motivational tool by the government over the masses.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power
of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are
either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

11. 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 and letters is openly attacked.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

This was an item you could have covered in 30 seconds. Instead it goes on and on, with the cutesy asides about BusterBlog not being gay yet and (how many times?) "testing the meat". Dude, we get the reference the first time. Surely your researchers could have come up with more pertinent detail than a couple of porn stats. If you're going to spend 10 min on an item like this, then how about going into more depth. Oh, and BTW, the sexual innuendo throughout sort of puts you on a par with Buster and does no justice to what the Google campaign wants to achieve.

The reason computers exist is because of a gay man who helped win WW2, Alan Turing. Hatred of gay people drove him to suicide. Any twit using a computer who hates on the gays is unable to use the google to research basic facts.

What's a "Ring Wing?" :)

What's "gay"?

SIGH! Lawrence, you missed the very obvious irony here. This guy is rebroadcasting on YouTube. A Google Asset. You had the video with it up in the upper left hand corner. This guy is trying to draw a line in the sand while stepping right over it and you missed it. BIG FAIL Lawrence. Big. Huge.

Pornography is abuse addiction - a violent depiction of power disparity, similar to the canons that accompany genocide, but visually. Genocide is abuse addiction - Hitler's "greedy Jews" Ceausescu's "dirty whores", God King Harper's "drunk Indians" - This is why it's found where there are Taliban, and securitate slave trading - heroin dealing. Goliath is funding his coup with slave trade, pornography and untaxed contraband.

The mish mash of republiclown Trlse that is the language of empire is indicative of the rate at which that pathogen is globalizing.

O'Donnell is a classic MSNBC Liberal Liar. Denying that Obama ever said that his health care plan would end up in a single payer system (socialized medicine) though it may take 5 or 10 years for the complete transformation. Everybody that follows politics has heard that interview where Obama say's exactly that. This Liar knows he said it and yet denies it. So he is a outrageous liar like the president or he really was unaware of that taped interview, in which case he has no place having a show with political commentary. Just another MSNBC Dolt on a network with no ratings. But please don't go off the air, you are better than comedy central.
