the real John Roberts revealed...

:shrug:

There was some discussion about that when he was up for confirmation.

we were ignored or laughed at.

Your graphic is TOO, TOO true.

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."
It Can't Happen Here

corporatism and this Roberts' SC ruling.

I don't like his conservative policies, but the use of the swastika makes me uncomfortable because of its association to the holocaust.

mistake, no matter who does it.

Making a ruling that is nonsense, and completely unsupportable indicates he is doing this as a matter of ideology. Corporations are not people. THey are not "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights". They are machines. Economic machines which are granted by the gonvernment certain powers in order to conduct business. Corporations are not mentioned in the constitution. The corporation was an adaptation to business needs that evolved in the law. That does NOT, however, mean that corporations enjoy rights as human beings do. Only people have rights.

The decision to grant corporations the unlimited right of free speech will result in the government being owned and managed by corporations. The system where Government is run with business and corporate interests as it's first priority is known as Fascism.

You don't have a clue about the economic and political structure of Germany, do you?

Germany was only one of many fascist countries.

Its association with Fascist Germany is the latest..but currently best known.
It is a symbol of Fascism.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

Because of its use by Hitler and the Nazis and, in modern times, by neo-Nazis and other hate groups, the swastika is largely associated with Nazism and white supremacy (see Western use of the Swastika in the early 20th century) in most of the Western countries. As a result, all of its use, or its use as a Nazi or hate symbol is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Because of the stigma attached to the symbol, many buildings that have contained the symbol as decoration have had the symbol removed. Steven Heller, of the School of Visual Arts, has argued that from the moment it was "misappropriated" by the Nazis, it became a mark and weapon of hate, and could not be redeemed.<57>

the man's positions, you post a lame reference to Hitler's Germany. It's a lazy thing to do, and doesn't actually apply, in any case.

Perhaps it is the best you're capable of. If that's the case, then I'd advise skipping the commentary. If not, then please try harder.

Do Corporations have a right to free speech, it looks like the Roberts court plans on granting it

"They want to give corporations the right of freedom of speech like citizens have. This is bullshit. They also keep talking like a corporation and a union are the same. bullshit. A union has a governing board elected on a one man one vote principal. A corporate board of directors is controlled by the largest shareholders. IT is NOT based upon each shareholder haveing an equal vote. A corporation is an economic artifice given certain rights (e.g. to form contracts, and to file suits in court) of individuals FOR PURPOSE OF ENGAGING IN BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS. That does NOT mean they really are people, with inalienable rights recognized by the Constitution. They are economic machines. Machines do not have rights!

If managers, business owners want to form an organization of businessmen they can (and do) and they can engage in campaigning for candidates and issues just as unions can. That does not mean a corporation should be treated like an organization of people or like a person. A corporation is an economic machine. Arguing it has a right to free speech is bullshit."

I expect that we could open a goodwill shop of horrors if he were investigated thoroughly. Mr. Flynt, are you listening? Help us out here.

then each item he was asked and answered reviewed and checked to see if there is a blatant lie there. If they can impeach a president over lying about a sex act, why in the hell can't this creep be impeached for lying to congress. And while we are at it how about Alitio.

approved and appointed, they are pretty much on there for life.
