Skipping the socialism...
 
... straight into fascism?

Reminiscent of the Brownshirts or perhaps the Hitler Youth

Get 'em early and brainwash 'em. I can't remember if it was Stalin or Marx who said "Give me your children for one generation and I rule the world".
An Ode to Dear Leader...

Obama - the opiate of the masses?

What - 'brainwash' a kid to think they might be capable of becoming an engineer, lawyer or some other worthy career? What the bloody hell's wrong with that?

You are completely mad!

I've often thought it wouldn't take much to push America in fascism. All that patriotism, saluting the flag, teaching kids who are too young to understand it to do their little patriotic chants everyday in school. At least they don't do Hitler salutes any more when they're doing it.

Nah, I mean brainwashing a good to sing an ode to the glorious leader who will change everything. I don't actually know what this change is, but, and nor do you, but hey, change is good right?

I sometimes see people out next to Capitol Hill with their four year olds thrusting political signs up and down, shouting slogans. The kids, I mean. In my mind, that's child abuse.

But you didn't - you opened with the Nazi analogy instead of waiting for the thread to fall into complete shambles before throwing it out there!!!

Oh! I remember you from the gun thread - you're the 'say it with pictures' bloke!

I feel pictures are the correct medium for the type of person I'm trying to reach.

Been reading Plato's cave analogy or something?
If you ask me, the past years of the Bush admin has behaved moreso and shown traits of fascism.

Stay with the pictures, and always remember to save Godwin's Law for later on in a discussion...it will then be seen as your ace card, not simply an inflammatory statement!!!
