The Conservatard

Today, I read the following article on information clearing house. It it probably the best example that I have read, so far, of why America currently is a Fascist state.

The article states that Fascism is not due ideology from either the left or the right, but due to who in reality dictates the agenda of the government. When government no longer represents the interests of the people, but instead represents the interests of corporations, it is a Fascist state. Despite what the American Supreme Court says, Corporations are merely legal agreements that are formed to generate profit, not people. When corporations infiltrate and dictate the agenda of a government, then that country can be said to be a fascist state. Communist, democratic, dictatorships, and socialist countries can all fall into the trap of fascism. And by “trap” the author means that when a country becomes fascist, it is usually the beginning of the end of that country.

Reconciling Fascism with Reality

12/14/07 “ich” — – — Fascist! A word that is thrown around all too commonly in today’s political debates and partisan quibbling that is common among the cable “news networks.” A flip of the channel on any night to CNN, FOX, Headline News or other similar programs reveals time slots devoted to the latest celebrity scandal or any other unimportant story. When not emphatically debating the latest celebrity DUI or child-custody battle, you will frequently see a story or hear a media talking head propagate the fear-mongering about hoards of radical Muslims swimming across both oceans to destroy the very fabric of the North American homeland. Wouldn’t that be an impressive feat of stamina? But these individuals will not be referred to as just fanatics, terrorists or Islamists, but instead the newest trend “Islamofascists.”

Huh, did I miss something? Do these people who spew out rhetoric with that term even consider what fascism stands for or actually means. After all, would you not think that “esteemed” members of the media and their “expert” guests would actually understand what they are saying? Is that too much to ask? Unfortunately, yes. Not only do these individuals not use the term in a proper manner, they purposely distort the term in order to evoke thoughts of fear and insecurity.

Editors Note:

Yes, Mr. C has been quite negligent in updating The Conservatard. He realizes that his reader(s?) have been holding their breath waiting for Mr. C to write an amazingly insightfully article. Well we are glad to inform everybody that they can take a deep breath, and then continue to keep holding their breath. Because Mr. C will never write something insightful, the best you can hope for is something that is coherent. In fact if it wasn’t for M.C. , the Editor in chief, Mr. C. probably wouldn’t be writing anything at all. Enjoy the rant!

Well the simple fact of the matter is that the nation seems to be no better off since the Democrats took over the congress and the senate last year. Talking about disappointing. We have more GI’s on the ground in Iraq along with even more mercenaries and military contractor whores. The one good thing that Mr. C can say is that at least some democrats have made significant progress of unearthing some of the illegal crimes of the Bush/Cheney crime syndicate.

However, Mr. C is willing to bet that Bush and Cheney will get away with their crimes against humanity without so much as a letter from the principal. This is not because Bush and Cheney are innocent, oh heavens no! They are guilty as sin. The reason that they will get away scott free is because the Democratic party has become “Conservatard Lite” due to all the corporate money rolling in. Or is is that they are just plain spineless wimps, afraid of losing the next election and being forced to earn a living. Either way they either have to change their tune or they have to go.

Perhaps now is the time for a third party, or better yet the removal of both ruling political parties and a return of our country back to a nation of rules and laws.

Which brings me to the following article posted on Information Clearing House called “An Alleged Two Party System” written by Ed Ciaccio. The article is basically a rant of how their really are not two political parties in America today. But the part that Mr. C. liked the best was where Mr. Ciaccio advises us to get our heads out of or collective asses and come up with a new way to return this country back to the people, or prepare to become a nation of corporate and government slaves.

An Alleged “Two Party System”

By Ed Ciaccio

12/08/07 “ICH” — — The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

We must be clear about the following bitter realities:

1. “Every 10 minutes an Iraqi civilian is injured or killed in a war that George Bush says will not end until he leaves office. Every 10 hours an American soldier is killed in a war that George Bush says will not end until he leaves office. Every 10 days $2 billion is removed from the U.S. Treasury and placed in the accounts of Halliburton, Blackwater and all other war profiteers that are getting rich off the misery of Iraqis and Americans by a government that will continue to remove those amounts or more every ten days as long as George Bush is President of the United States” (from Sally B. Davidson at Veterans for Peace, NY).

While Bush and Cheney remain in office, the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan will continue. Bush’s recent announcement of his (probably illegal) “agreement” with the increasingly unpopular, discredited, U.S.-puppet Maliki regime to continue Iraq deployment of U.S. troops indefinitely shows Cheney/Bush’s absolute and total contempt for our Constitution and the wishes of 3/4 of U.S. citizens. As even Alan Greenspan admitted in his recently-published book: the Iraq War was largely about oil. The U.S. power elite, Democratic as well as Republican, wants those permanent U.S. bases in Iraq to protect access to, and control of, “our” oil, especially as China, India, and Europe become stronger economic and trade threats to U.S. global hegemony.
