Thanks for the quotes, Dan.

The fascists and Nazis have given us one thing that is at least useful. They have articulated the Reich Wing mentality for all to see.

Too bad more people don't pay attention. We should learn from their example. Instead we have politicians who FOLLOWED their example.

Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.
Benito Mussolini
'The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, because the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad.

The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them more easy victims of a big lie than a small one, because they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell big ones.
Such a form of lying would never enter their heads. They would never credit others with the possibility of such great impudence as the complete reversal of facts. Even explanations would long leave them in doubt and hesitation, and any trifling reason would dispose them to accept a thing as true.
Something therefore always remains and sticks from the most imprudent of lies, a fact which all bodies and individuals concerned in the art of lying in this world know only too well, and therefore they stop at nothing to achieve this end.
~ Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf

A friend and I were discussing Jerry Falwell, et al, many years ago. She said, "Protect em while they're in the womb, draft em once they're out."

I think that about sums up the right wingnuts.

I don't agree with a lot of folks here who write this kid off as a lost cause.

Although, I'd love to sit down and talk sense to him, I have to admit I'd have to work hard to keep my gag reflex in check.

Even so, though, I remember when _I_ was 14. I was a devout Southern Baptist who went to church three times on Sundays, sang in 2 choirs, attended church again on Wednesdays, went to church camp, ad infinitum.

If I had a chance to sit down with the kid I was then, I imagine my gag reflex would get the better of me then, too.

This kid has a lot of growing up to do -- and maybe he'll get some education along the way. I hope he and all the kids who share his views do.

Interestingly, a boyfriend of mine about 40 years ago said, "I wonder what our kids will be like? They'll have nothing to rebel against."
I laughed and said, "Are you kidding? They'll become far-right-conservatives!"

Oh, Lordy, how I wish I had been wrong--

Still, I still hold some hope:
Maybe the Sarah Palins of today are bringing up a bunch of liberals and don't know it?????

I didn't see "the kid" so your post was doubly informative for me. He really does need an Uncle Dave! Too bad he probably only has Uncle Newt, Uncle Rush, Aunt Sarah ... a young mind is terrible thing to waste.

Hi, Lisa.
Thanks for stopping by.
Yes, dealing with life after birth seems to the Right's problem area.

Tax cuts for the rich are not the answer, but it's the only one they have.

Jim,
Just goes to show, you're never too young to be a know-it-all Kool-ade drinker.

Marvin,
Thanks bud.

Brother Tim,
Although it's not easy and very likely to be futile, we extend our hand to the lost cause souls.

Larry,
The little twerp could make the perfect anti-christ. I always try diplomacy first, though.

Hi, Border Explorer,
Aw, you warm my heart!

I love your blog. You have some gutsy and well-informed posts.I will put you up on my blogroll.

This is my first visit here, and if this post is ANY indication of what is typical...it won't be my last. What an outstanding post! I'm speechless before such a wonderful blend of personal sharing and political content.

I was also as conservative as they come as a young'en. I think one's personal experience makes all the difference.

Nice rant, Dave, but I'm afraid that even at such a young age, the kid is a lost cause. He's been indoctrinated and brain-washed. He is the next generation of the clueless. What a shame! Maybe the kid could take up music and find true peace in his soul. :)

Good points and well written post. We share quite a bit in common it seems. I also had rheumatic fever as a teenager, and it was the Vietnam War and Watergate - that whole lying wrong war era of madness and deceit in politics that turned me away from the Republican persuasion of my father that I had been brought up in.

I listened to the kids speech and heard it many times since including his book signings. The kid is a lost cause.

Listening to him was as bad as listening to Limbaugh. Little Limbaugh! Just a naive kid with a mouth and those people are hungry to see they are right.

I listened to his little spiel about people not understanding conservatism and realized it was obvious he did not!
