How do Americans feel about having no less than THREE Nazi parties? How proud does that make you feel?

It's only this present Administration that is allowing the nutcases loose in America right now. The people that rave about how free we are, as long as you allow them to protect you. All I can see and here are these people that are hurting others, and running other races down, to make them feel superior over other people. I personally don't act and feel that way, and I really think it is all very sad. There will be change as America removes the Tyrants from the Government, and replaces them with people with some diplomacy experience.

I completely agree.  We embrace those immigrants who came here respecting our laws, and rejoice when they become American citizens.  And I'll die defending them.  But what I see at those rallies is a bunch of people who skirted the law and now want preferential treatment over the LEGAL immigrants.  And I don't see people proud to be Americans.  I see people wanting voting rights, so they can take what they want, and tailor the American southwest to be more accomodating for Mexico.\n\nI won't let that happen.

Worst thing is that people don't know what NAZI means. It is an abbreviation for National Socialist Party. Which isn't really socialist, or national. It was really a front for fascism, which was the integration of corporations and government. Now you may see why they get so offended: the truth hurts more than spin. When someone looks at the inefficiencies of government agencies, the apathy of its workers, it is easy to think "government should be run like a business". I used to think so. Then I realized that business already runs the government, and they like it to be inefficient so that they don't have to answer to it. Much different than the efficiency of the Nazis. The Nazis were concerned with resources and materials. America has always had more resources available than it could use, and hasn't learned not to waste so much yet. Ironic how one of the things that would help with this, the FairTax bill, is favored more by Republicans.

With all due respect, you're a little off in your perspective.  The GOP may be guilty of many things, but hating America is definitely not one of them.  You would be closer to the mark if you said they love America with an almost fanatical air.  It's usually the Dems who are saying things along the lines of how embarrassed they are with the country, or how they don't like our system.  Rethink your perspective, read just about all of the posts on this site, and you'll see that I'm right.

What Roosevelt was describing, in my opinion, is the two party system in America today. Democrats feel America as a nation is measured at the lowest levels of the people in our society. Republicans feel the nation is measured at its highest levels of personal achievement. Those with, versus those without. Those with scream about taxes, welfare, and those who are so poor they can never lift themselves above poverty. At the same time they ship their jobs overseas putting Americans out of work. Hire illegals rather than pay an American a living wage, all in the name of being competative instead of admitting it is greed that controls their actions. In my opinion the republican party is no longer the party of conservatism, it is the party of greed, intolerance and lack of concern for those less fortunate in our country. Democrats feel otherwise. It is the party of social concern for the wrongs of our society, the less fortunate, the people at the lowest rungs of American society. If we look the other way when we see poverty all around us in our country, how great is America in reality? The pursuit of the almighty dollar now rules America. Most of America pursues it because they don't have enough. A small part of America pursues it because they can never get enough. Too much to spend in ten lifetimes is not enough for some. If a category four hurricane were to hit New York City, would we see the same response we saw in New Orleans, a city with many poor people? I think not.

I'm a proud American too.  I wish people would see that we are gettin more and more like the old Soviet Union every year.  We keep voting in the same bozo's in every election.  The government has become an adjunct of a plutocratic elite who have no vision beyond the next financial quarter.  \n\nDamn disgrace.

The similarities are striking. The Nazi party did not suddenly snap into existence and start killing Jews. They slowly gained support by developing a system of acceptance for the absurd (i.e. hating Jews) until, after years of persistence, they got the public to support their genocide and repeated invasion of sovereign countries.\n\nToday, the three pillars of American government are heavily dominated by Republicans, a right-leaning group as were the Nazis. The style is the same: unless you are Christian and white, you are less worthy. This gives them the "moral" ground on which to mount a campaign to pursue similiarly absurd ideas as wiping out Jews (i.e. today, we're detaining and spying on Americans without legal probable cause, murdering "terrorists" who oppose our government, as well as invading sovereign countries).\n\nIs the U.S. government run by Nazis? Not sure. But the similarities are striking.

Actually the Nazis had a socialist form of government.  Now I am not about to start comparing anyone to the Nazis and the atrocities they committed during WW2, but if you were going to compare the 2 major parties in the US, most people would say the Republicans are more capitalist and the Democrats are more socialist. Please post another question if you need a definition of socialism and capitalism, I will be glad to help educate you.

Yeah and we could also fly the Nazi flag too!!! \n\nUS Americans love to have things around that stand for hatred, oppression and evil!

I like German people, but I have a bias because I lived in Germany when I was in the sixth grade (11-12 years old).  Admittedly the knowledge of World War Two and the Holocaust make me angry because I am an American and I am Jewish (my family lost some relatives due to Nazi atrocities), but my feelings towards Germany today are positive.\n\nI hope that helps!!!

I voted Straight democratic ticket for the first time in my life, because I am fed up with the soaring national debt, the focus on the war on terror, focus on tax cuts instead of providing incentives for lower income Americans, the scandals in the Republican party, and the sad state of the American family values. I also feel that it is dangerous to have no checks and balances between the two political parties when one party dominates the legislative and executive branches of government. My primary source of information is the Internet. We do not have TV and I very seldom read newspapers.

1. I am a registered Democrat (although I do consider myself far more liberal-minded than most typical Dems).\n2. I have affiliated myself with this party because I feel Democratic politicians do a better job at representing interests that serve the working class middle Americans; for instance-Dems are more likely to raise minimum wage, more likely to push for social assistance programs, more likely to work towards improving health care and education just to name a few.  I would rather align myself with a more liberal party, but the way our two-party system has evolved, I feel that I would truly be non-effective.  One of my liberal ideals--because we live in a "free" country, I believe we should have the freedom to make choices, provided those choices do not harm others, and our government should pass laws to protect us in our choices.\n3. I can't say there was any one issue that had me join the party, nor did I realize right away that I would become so partisan.  When I first became interested in how my government affects my life, it was because of a bill Bill Clinton passed that allowed me to deduct my college tuition.  It was a huge help to me since I was attending a community college that did not offer student loans, and I had to pay for tuition as I went along.  I do not think I would have been able to make it through school if it weren't for this bill.  Since then, there have been a number of ideas (most often proposed by Democrats) that I have agreed with.  One thing I currently support about the Democratic party is the idea of justice and equality for all.  The idea that it is okay to deny a person rights or privileges based on differences (such as sexual orientation) I find extremely un-American.\n5. The Democratic party is definitely less unified than the Republicans, and I believe this has been detrimental to our country over the past ten years.\n\nI hope this helps you with your homework.  And I hope you come to really enjoy politics.  I wasn't very interested in politics in h.s. but in the twelve years since I have been out of school, I have come to realize how interesting the whole democratic process is.  This is OUR country, and it is up to us younger Americans to learn all we can about our past so we can take adequate charge of our future.  Good luck!

DR: Your side said that when Nixon was in power too!\n\nIt is a great day, I finally feel after 6 long years I got a piece of my country back. Tired of seeing the constitution ripped to shreds by a bunch of pasty-white closeted bigots. \n\nViva Le Resistance!

the total sum of U.S politics is indefinable with a single word, the U.S contains a diversity of opinion from communist parties to fascist parties. However if you want to generalize; well just look at the government they elected, neo-realist / neo-conservative politicians, the same creed that have always maintained a vice like grip on the central executive. You also have to look at the party system, there is only one party in America, the corporate nexus party, the republicans and democrats just have different business interests. There is also the factor of religion, we are talking about a nation of self hating puritans - extremely conservative, racist, armed to the teeth and afraid of anything new or different. I suppose if you were to compare America with other liberal democracies in Europe, it;s clearly the most conservative. I am personally disgusted by the patriotic sensationalism bound to American culture, it's not their fault but it's still pretty repugnant, Americans are generally raised as flag waving, god fearing, isolated, and extremely ignorant young people, and this simply has to change if the world is to stand a chance, it's the most important country in world politics - they need to start getting things right.
