The following is a comment by Francis Marion (really?) over at the ironically named blog Real Debate Wisconsin, electronic cave abode of Neanderthal man’s direct relation, Fred Dooley.
Team jackass, I mean donkey is apoplectic over this! Just look at the comments from the union leftists and Marxists on the local rags website. Ryan took Obac Hussein Barama to the cleaners at the incompetent one’s own economic summit. In any VP debate Ryan is going to expose bubblin joe bidden (you know the guy that told a man in a wheel chair to stand up and take a bow) as the idiot he is, and Paul won’t even have to try very hard.
What is REALLY driving the national People’s Union Socialist Democrat Party into insanity is that the realize there is the very strong possibility that one of another of their America hating community activists Marxist may not reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave for at least 16 YEARS!!; 8 years of Mitt followed by 8 years of PRESIDENT RYAN (that really has a nice sound to it).
There ministry of propaganda media for the incompetent one called it another gaff when Romney introduced Ryan as “the next president”. I wouldn’t call it a gaff, I call it a very reliable statement.
The ONLY downside of this is having to find a Paul Ryan the second to fill his shoes when Paul takes the oath of office in January. God knows that every unionist, Marxist socialist, and moonbat and wingnut from the left will be looking to grab that seat.
It’s going to be R&R for the hard working middle class after R&R undo the damage to the economy and to the country that the community activist Marxist and his ilk have done for the past 4 years.
By the way, grief and suicide prevention counselors will be on call 24/7 at team donkey headquarters
This is the sort of person attracted to teabagger philosophy. He/she conveniently omits the fact that all those “leftists and Marxists” are middle class too. They work hard, too. They support families, too. They have rights, too!
But not in their minds, such as they are. Why? Because of a decades long plan by Republican “think tanks” to create an underclass of angry white people. They’ve been convinced by corporate-created shills like Rush Limbaugh, Charlie Sykes, etc. of the theft of their rights and way of life. They’re victims.
And who is doing the stealing? It’s obvious: they ain’t getting what they used to because minorities have built enough political clout to ask for their fair share; right-wing christians are upset because other faiths and non-believers have finally said this country is ours too and we want a voice; women not controlled by men are also speaking out and want their share, too.
This is what the teabaggers can’t stand and they’re angry. Damn those uppity non-white fat/boys, feminazis, lesbians, homos, atheists, Hindus, Sikhs, dirty Muslims … anyone and everyone that doesn’t look like me, talk like me or believe like me.
This election is not only a battle against corporate influence, which is threatening to remake this country into Orwellian subsidiaries, it’s a battle against their mindless thralls.
The people cannot afford to lose this election, otherwise it will be back to cave-drawings and scratching out a meager living while the corporate gods and the one percent look fondly upon the zoo they have created.

Now there’s a goose-stepping poop-noddy tirade if ever there was one.
“Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.”
~Thomas Jefferson
Be well informed.
The nonsense purveyors over there at Illusory Debate continue to exhibit their seething fear of Marxism. I say let them sputter and to those who choose to listen to them sputter, do the fact checking yourselves – read the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels for yourselves.
Be well informed. The uninformed and the misinformed cannot be trusted with their own government. The propagandist spew emanating from Right Wing sectors is uninformed, misinformed disinformation – Conservatives cannot be trusted with the charge of governance.
Ask yourselves, what is it that generates this seething fear of Marx’s ideas among Right Wing Extremists?
Ask yourselves, why is it that Right Wing Extremists have traditionally expressed volatile opposition to Marx? Most notably Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini?
Hitler despised Marxists and Communists; one of his central aims was to eliminate those who espoused either philosophy from the Nazi state because of Marxism’s Democratic ideal. Democracy or any form of democratization brought about by Marxism or Communism was Hitler’s fear, in his own words:
“The Marxists will march with democracy…”
“The Jewish doctrine of Marxism rejects the aristocratic principle of Nature and replaces eternal privilege of power and strength by the mass of numbers and their dead weight.”
“In the economic sphere Communism is analogous to democracy in the political sphere.”
The Fascist Mussolini also despised Marxism for its egalitarianism and principles of liberal equality. Anti-liberal Fascists like Mussolini were proponents of broadly reaching Capitalist economic systems that stressed inequality based on class – he was a Corporatist. For Mussolini, individuals organized into corporate spheres defined the basic unit of society – he subscribed to the notion that “Corporations are people.” As such, he opposed social critiques that exposed or exacerbated class conflict – i.e. Marxism and liberal democracy, respectively:
“Fascism denies, in democracy, the absurd conventional untruth of political equality…”
“Individuals form classes according to the similarity of their interests, they form syndicates according to differentiated economic activities within these interests; but they form first, and above all, the State, which is not to be thought of numerically as the sum-total of individuals forming the majority of the nation. And consequently Fascism is opposed to Democracy, which equates the nation to the majority, lowering it to the level of that majority. . . .”
“A party that governs a nation in a totalitarian way is a new fact in history. References and comparisons are not possible. Fascism takes over from the ruins of Liberal Socialistic democratic doctrines those elements which still have a living value. It preserves those that can be called the established facts of history, it rejects all the rest, that is to say the idea of a doctrine which holds good for all times and all peoples. If it is admitted that the nineteenth century has been the century of Socialism, Liberalism and Democracy, it does not follow that the twentieth must also be the century of Liberalism, Socialism and Democracy. Political doctrines pass; peoples remain. It is to be expected that this century may be that of authority, a century of the “Right,” a Fascist century.”
Marx and Engels wrote of power structures and the inherently elitist, authoritarian structure of capitalism which exploits the many (with the least amount of wealth and political power) and which secures the interests the few (with the most amount of wealth and political power).
Right Wing Extremists hate Marxist ideas because they are fundamentally Democratic. Capitalism and Corporate structures are not Democratic. This nation was not founded on Capitalism. That is the Right Wing lie and it is the fuel for their vitriolic disinformation campaign against Socialism, Communism, and Marxism. Contemporary Conservatism shares more in ideology and in practice with Fascism and Nazism than it does with the the founding American principles of liberty, equality, and democracy.
Be well informed. If there is one other principle that dominated the quest for liberating democracy it is the rejection of Anti-Intellectualism. Thoroughly examine the attitudes emanating from Right Wing Extremists because the attitudes which feed their beliefs are ill-informed and Anti-Intellectual.
