THINK OF THIS, OR TRY TO. I CAN SEE FROM YOUR WRITINGS THAT YOU'RE NOT A GREAT THINKER, BUT WORSE THAN THAT - YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM OF SPEACH. SO GO AHEAD AND DELETE THIS AGAIN, AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. WHEN YOU GET TIRED OF DELETING, TAKE A RIDE ON YOUR BIKE OR APPLY FOR A JOB. WHAT YOU ARE DOING HERE IS PATHETIC.

Fourteen Defining
Characteristics Of Fascism
By Dr. Lawrence Britt

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.

Can you guys ever just leave it alone? Why don't you and Dan (North - whatever his name is) go do a group cuddle with Jerry Falwell someplace other then a photo site. Everyone, (myself included) can read whatever they want into anything, and can post long winded posts at photo sites and spout off facts, figures and quotes, then delete posts from people that write contrary posts that make sense . . . . on and on and on and on. Why do it at a place like this? Why are you guys always trying to cram your views down everyone's throats? I respect your political choice and your right to support whoever you choose, but do it in the appropriate place. I feel the same about anyone that does this btw . . .Democrat or Republican. This is an international community of people who enjoy photography, not American politics. No wonder everyone hates us Americans.

What a true died-in-the-wool Bush bot. Do you even have the slightest vestige of having a mind of your own? I would suppose not. Drone on, Botman.

well even from your piece of evidence its clear there is potential for mass overcharging by Halliburton, and of course what you are forgetting is that Halliburton is just one of the American companies thats raking in money like this. There are 100's of others at it, and your government does not have the resources (or will in some cases) to check a fraction of whats going on. YOU the American taxpayer AND the Iraqi people are paying for all this, oh yes a lot of this money is coming out of the oil money intended to help the Iraqi people. So all those companies are doing really well out of 'reconstruction' of mess halls for the Iraqi people. Liberal huh, well lets just imagine we dump all those 100,000+ stinking coprses of dead Iraqi men women & children killed from the American bombing campagn in your cozy little neigbourhood and then clutter up your hospitals with the 100,000's of libmbless and wounded Iraqis. you would soon start questioning the 'price' of freedom, as it is you have no conception of what has happened over there because you are fed a diet of half truths lies and neocon babble.

US taxpayer ? its no joke folks.....enjoy the shafting....

Boring. Most of this work is sub-par. This is a political statement that misses the mark... due mostly to shoddy workmanship in conjuction with an overall moronic and racist naive message. If your going to post images, post good ones... preferably your own.

No wonder "W" got elected.
