  1. Attorney General John Ashcroft visits an elementary school. After speaking for 15 minutes he says,
    "I will now answer any questions you have."

    Bobby stands up and says: "I have four questions, sir:

    1. How did Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore?
    2. Why haven't you caught Osama bin Laden?
    3. Why are you using the American Patriot Act to destroy civil liberties?
    4. Where are the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?

    Just then the bell goes off and the kids are sent out to play. Upon returning, Mr. Ashcroft says: "I
    am sorry we were interrupted. I will answer any questions you have."

    A little girl named Julie stands and says: "I have six questions:

    5. How did Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore?
    6. Why haven't you caught Osama bin Laden?
    7. Why are you using the American Patriot Act to destroy civil liberties?
    8. Where are the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?
    9. Why did the bell ring twenty minutes early?

    Have you seen the step-by-step comparison between Bush's takeover and the Nazi takeover in 1933-
    4? It's almost a one-to-one correspondence. We are living is a fascist state, quite literally. We
    had a chancellor appointed without an electoral majority, the rounding up of political opponents
    into the first concentration camp at Guantanomo, our Reichstag fire ( 9/11 -- there's evidence
    Bush knew about it beforehand, just as [censored] knew the Reichstag fire was planned, but didn't
    know the details personally), followed by our Enabling Act (the Patriot Act) gutting civil
    rights. Like [censored], Bush has tried to turn people's attention away from domestic problems by
    Glorious Foreign War, but his Stalingrad has come a bit earlier than [censored]'s. But, unlike
    [censored], who took a country in a depression and revived the economy (temporarily), Bush has
    CREATED a depression and destroyed the healthy economy and surplus he inherited from Clinton.

    Wrong, which is to be expected from a hateful, extremist partisan moron like you. Here are the
    latest results of polling from several different sources.

    1. FOX News/Opinion Dynamics Poll. Oct. 28-29, 2003. N=900 registered voters nationwide. MoE ± 3.
    "Do you approve or disapprove of the job George W. Bush is doing as president?"
    2/28-29/03 Approve: 53 Disapprove: 37

    3. Gallup Poll and CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll "Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W.
    Bush is handling his job as president?"
    4/24-26/03 Approve: 53 Disapprove: 42

    5. Newsweek Poll conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates. Oct. 23-24, 2003. N=1,007
    adults nationwide. MoE ± 3. "Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling
    his job as president?"
    6/23-24/03 Approve: 51 Disapprove: 40

    7. Ipsos-Reid/Cook Political Report Poll. Oct. 21-23, 2003. N=742 registered voters nationwide.
    MoE ± 3.7. "Overall, do you approve, disapprove or have mixed feelings about the way George W.
    Bush is handling his job as president?" If "mixed feelings" or not sure: "If you had to choose,
    do you lean more toward approve or disapprove?"
    8/21-23/03 Approve: 55 Disapprove: 43 Mixed: 2

    9. CBS News Poll. Oct. 20-21, 2003. N=751 adults nationwide. MoE ± 4. "Do you approve or disapprove
    of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?"
    10/20-21/03 Approve: 54 Disapprove: 36

    11. Pew Research Center for the People & the Press survey conducted by Princeton Survey Research
    Associates. Oct. 15-19, 2003. N=1,515 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3. "Do you approve or disapprove
    of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?" If "Depends": "Overall, do you
    approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?"
    12/15-19/03 Approve: 50 Disapprove: 42

    13. The Harris Poll. Oct. 14-19, 2003. N=1,017 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3. "How would you rate
    the overall job President George W. Bush is doing as president: excellent, pretty good, only
    fair, or poor?"
    14/14-19/03 Excellent/good: 59 fair/poor: 40

    15. Zogby: The only poll in which Bush doesn't score 50% or higher using same questioning and
    scoring methodology as Harris, but only from likely voters according to their definition.

    "The" step-by-step comparison? Don't you mean A step-by-step comparison, put together by an
    extreme leftist?

    No, quite literally, we are not. Your claim is a product of a hyperbolic and hysterical extremist.
    We are not even figuratively a fascist state.

    There are some very bad trends. I believe Ashcroft is as close to a fascist as one could be without
    admitting it directly. I believe he and many of his supporters would implement a fascist state
    whether they realized they were doing so or not.

    We are not, however, living in a fascist state. If we were, we could not have a federal judge
    effectively dismiss the charges against the alleged terrorist Moussaoui.

    Quoted message said:

    We had a chancellor appointed without an electoral majority,

    No. We had a president elected by the electoral college, exactly as provided by the Constitution.

    Quoted message said:

    the rounding up of political opponents into the first concentration camp at Guantanomo,

    That's the biggest rupture of the truth yet. The Nazis rounded up *German* political opponents. The
    people being held in Guantanamo Bay are all foreign combatants.

    Quoted message said:

    our Reichstag fire ( 9/11 -- there's evidence Bush knew about it beforehand,

    It isn't "evidence", it's conspiratorial [censored] that irrationally credulous people like you
    swallow at face value, because it corresponds to what you want to believe for ideological reasons.

    Quoted message said:

    Stalingrad has come a bit earlier than [censored]'s.

    Completely wrong, of course, as this kind of [censored] is almost all the time. There are no domestic
    problems remotely similar to what was going on in early 1930s Germany. Our economy is growing,
    inflation is almost non-existent, unemployment is shrinking. There is no great social discord
    anywhere, except where the ardent U.S.-hating leftists are trying to stir up trouble, chiefly in
    college admissions programs, where quota-implementing liars are unconstitutionally implementing
    affirmative action.

    All is not well, but there is simply no legitimate comparison to be made to Nazi Germany.

    Quoted message said:

    But unlike [censored], who took a country in a depression and revived the economy (temporarily),
    Bush has CREATED a depression

    No, he has not. Presidents deserve little of the blame for economic downturns, and none of the
    credit for upturns. There has been no depression.

    Quoted message said:

    and destroyed the healthy economy

    Nope. The economy is healthy.

    Quoted message said:

    You mean the surplus he inherited from a Republican congress. Congress passes appropriations bills.

    Since, as you admit, you aren't an American, I'll forgive the historical inaccuracies of an obvious
    attempt to further deteriorate America's faith in its leadership.

    Quoted message said:

    Throughout your dialogue, you change the meaning of the word "we." The most consistent
    interpretation is that you are from Germany (i.e. "We had a chancellor [[censored]] appointed..."
    The statement above, then, indicates that Germany is still a fascist state. If that was your
    intended messages, I extend my sympathies to you. Luckily, for us Americans, we don't live in a
    fascist state.

    Quoted message said:

    We had a chancellor appointed
    without an electoral majority,

    That's too bad for your country. Our president, George Bush, was elected with the Constitutional
    electoral majority: 271 votes verses
    266. (potus.comgwbush.html). Although his opponent, Gore, got more of the *popular*
    vote, according to our laws, it is the electoral votes (i.e., the votes of each of the States
    in the United States) that actually count.

    Quoted message said:

    the rounding up of political opponents into the first concentration camp at Guantanomo,

    I don't know why you Germans let [censored] put citizens into a conentration camp without due process.
    We don't do it. The detainees in Guantanamo are non-citizens, prisoners-of-war (or, at least, armed
    conflict) (pbs.orgdetainees 1 22.html). Albeit, from an
    *international* perspective, the situation is deplorable... but to compare this situation to
    [censored]'s habit of imprisoning German citizens because they were gypsies, gays, Jews, etc. just
    illustrates ignorant understanding. I thought Europeans were supposed to be educated better.

    Quoted message said:

    our Reichstag fire ( 9/11 -- there's evidence Bush knew about it beforehand, just as [censored] knew
    the Reichstag fire was planned, but didn't know the details personally),

    This is sheer ignorance. *I* saw CIA Fact sheet reports in 1996 warning about a terrorist attack,
    possibly using hijacked planes. The problem is--what do you do with that kind of intelligence? Do
    you tell your citizenry not to fly planes? Keep the planes on the grounds? Hell, Americans *know*
    that terrorists have attacked the United States, but still many of them grumble about increased
    airport security when the threat posture changes because of unsubstantiated intelligence...

    Quoted message said:

    followed by our Enabling Act (the
    Patriot Act) gutting civil rights.

    I have to admit, the Patriot act scares me. But again, I don't see an easy way around the
    advantages that modern technology has given criminals. The part of the Patriot act I can agree with
    is the wiretapping portion: criminals are constantly changing their telephones (it's very easy to
    go to a cellular service and buy a dozen phones, use a phone once, and switch phones--prior to the
    Patriot act, a warrant had to be given for each phone. Now, a warrant only needs to be awarded to
    surveill a person).

    Quoted message said:

    Like [censored], Bush has tried to turn people's attention away from domestic problems by Glorious
    Foreign War, but his Stalingrad has come a bit earlier than [censored]'s.

    It's only a "Stalingrad"-like because Americans don't have the resolve to win a war (look at
    Vietnam). The wimpiness generally is spearheaded by the liberal-left (my opinion).

    Quoted message said:

    But, unlike [censored], who took a country in a depression and revived the economy (temporarily),

    Again, you have absolutely no idea of the history of the U.S., even history that has occurred within
    the last decade. The rhetoric you're spewing simply tries to undermine the resolve of one of the
    greatest nations on the Earth. Almost intellectual terrorism of sorts. 🙂

    "Many political words are similarly abused. The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as
    it signifies 'something not desirable.'"

    George Orwell - Politics and the English Language, 1946

    Same goes for "Nazi". It has no meaning, especially coming from you.

    No, we are not. You are proving the truth of what Orwell wrote:

    "The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies 'something not
    desirable.'"

    George Orwell "Politics and the English Language", 1946

    You hate the U.S., for all the things that make it great, most especially for being capitalist and
    for, more than anyplace else, protecting individual liberties against the collectivist tyranny you
    wish to impose. Because you hate the U.S. and are a garden-variety leftist/collectivist, you
    reflexively call the U.S. "fascist", but it's only because you don't like the U.S. from a
    leftist/collectivist perspective, not because the U.S is fascist.

    Quoted message said:

    We had a chancellor appointed without an electoral majority,

    No, we didn't. Bush obtained a majority vote of the Electoral College, the constitutionally provided
    method of selecting the U.S. President.

    Anyway, even in parliamentary countries, a prime minister often is selected from a party that
    doesn't have a parliamentary majority. That is not fascist. AGAIN, you prove only that you
    hate the U.S.

    Quoted message said:

    the rounding up of political opponents into the first concentration camp at Guantanomo,

    No, not "political opponents", liar. Non-citizen enemy combatants, captured on foreign soil in
    combat with the U.S. armed forces.

    You just can't help lying.

    Quoted message said:

    our Reichstag fire ( 9/11 -- there's evidence Bush knew about it beforehand,

    Show it, liar.

    Quoted message said:

    just as [censored] knew the Reichstag fire was planned, but didn't know the details personally),

    In fact, traitor, the accepted belief is that the Nazis set the Reichstag fire. You are now accusing
    the U.S. government of *committing* the 9/11 terrorist attacks, by virtue of your fatuous
    comparison.

    Quoted message said:

    followed by our Enabling Act (the Patriot Act) gutting civil rights.

    The misnamed "Patriot" Act does not gut civil liberties. It is a threat to some of them, and I have
    hopes that the worst excesses of it will be thrown out in court. Unlike in Nazi Germany, our courts
    will take a hard look at it, and if the Supreme Court rules parts of it unconstitutional, those
    parts will be discarded. Also unlike Nazi Germany, some of the Republican legislators who supported
    the passage of the act are calling for reconsideration of parts of it. Neither the justices nor the
    legislators are threatened with imprisonment or death. Your comparison is utterly specious.

    There are parts of the "Patriot" Act that are necessary correctives to outdated laws. One that
    immediately springs to mind is the ability to obtain a wiretap authorization on a person, not just a
    phone line. This is a necessary and good change, and is not in any way "fascist".

    Bush did not inherit a health economy from Clinton. The dot-com bust began in 1999, and the downturn
    began long before the election. Anyone who knows anything about business cycles knows that downturns
    have their genesis long before the actual increases in unemployment and decreases in output.

    But thanks for showing your blatant partisanship, as well as your utter ignorance of economics.

    Quoted message said:

    It would be. Being an extreme leftist/collectivist, you only will live in a place inhabited by
    others of your same traitorous hyperbole, and I'm sure you and the other losers *do* greet each
    other that way.
