You are ignorant or a liar or Jonah Goldberg's Mother/lover. Nationalist Socialism is a product of the right and the direct descendent of American political thought from Henry Ford, noted anti-semite and car manufacturer. Socialism for white people, not Jews, not Italians, not Irish, not Slavs or Balts or Greeks. Socialism like this is not Marxist, it is Eugenicist and really no different than GOP policy-encourage the designated White people with tax breaks and punish the rest with loss of the social safety net. Or did the Jews on Kristallnacht get a sudden socialist lift? The Poles who went to Dachau and Belsen? White on the outside, but not “German” enough. It's funny O'Reilly and O'Hannity are such right wingtards when the old Partei considered them to be subhumans until they needed to change the definitions because there were too many “ethnics” who might band together for fair representation otherwise.

He is an accessory after the fact by now and should be tried along with Eric Holder and the Bush degenerates who worked 8 years to besmirch and belittle the Constitution and our national heritage. IF Obama and Holder won't enforce the law of the land, who will?

The US has long had programs of torture which were focused on domestic citizens rather than foreign nationals. In its extremes COINTELPRO reached that, as did MKULTRA. These sorts of programs did not end, even if the names were phased-out. That was especially true under the GWB regime after the 9/11 pretext, but it is still true with Obama as the figurehead.

Yes, by all means let's get going Daphne. Maybe you could enlighten us all on proper burqa attire and how stoning women to death is just a progressive update and not really torture at all. The World is about to explode and you are concerned with only 3 terrorists involved in the 9/11 massacre, while hundreds die daily to live free of Islamofascists. I can only assume you are a useful idiot a la Lenin or a true Stalinist yourself. Yes dear, Communists and Nazis were both Socialist Totalitarians.
