    As far a "V for Vendetta" goes, Has anybody actually watched that,
    beyond the action sequences?

    The underlying plot is He is doing his stuff against a Right wing, totalitarian, Police state government.

    Can anybody cite me a historical example of a Right wing, totalitarian, police state government?

    That movie is on of the finest examples of leftist propaganda I have seen in a long time..
    I watched it. But just because Natalie Portman is hot!

    Yeah, they say the "Conservative party" took over and that's what he's fighting against. Unless conservative means the exact opposite it England, then it should be the liberal party.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    I think you need to recheck your examples... Fascism and National Socialism are just different flavors of the same Marxist ideology, not "right wing totalitarian ploice states". Now if you said left wing or liberal, then your examples would be correct.

    Left and Right are lies told by the progressives.

    To say that the entire spectrum of political ideology lies between Communism on the left and Fascism on the right makes as much sense as saying the entire spectrum of musical styles lies between West Coast Hip Hop on the left and East Coast Hip Hop on the right.


    Communist = Socialist = Fascist ... all variations on the same failed ideology of collectivism (hell you could probably throw Islamist on that list there too).
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche

    "Every time something really bad happens, people cry out for safety, and the government answers by taking rights away from good people."
    -Penn Jillette
