Jim Hoft:
You didn’t build that!
Darling of the far left Sen. Elizabeth Warren released her 11 commandments of progressivism this week during her stop at the Netroots Nation annual conference.
The National Journal reported:– “We believe that Wall Street needs stronger rules and tougher enforcement, and we’re willing to fight for it.”
– “We believe in science, and that means that we have a responsibility to protect this Earth.”
– “We believe that the Internet shouldn’t be rigged to benefit big corporations, and that means real net neutrality.”
– “We believe that no one should work full-time and still live in poverty, and that means raising the minimum wage.”
– “We believe that fast-food workers deserve a livable wage, and that means that when they take to the picket line, we are proud to fight alongside them.”
– “We believe that students are entitled to get an education without being crushed by debt.”
– “We believe that after a lifetime of work, people are entitled to retire with dignity, and that means protecting Social Security, Medicare, and pensions.”
– “We believe—I can’t believe I have to say this in 2014—we believe in equal pay for equal work.”
– “We believe that equal means equal, and that’s true in marriage, it’s true in the workplace, it’s true in all of America.”
– “We believe that immigration has made this country strong and vibrant, and that means reform.”
– “And we believe that corporations are not people, that women have a right to their bodies. We will overturn Hobby Lobby and we will fight for it. We will fight for it!”
And the main tenet of conservatives’ philosophy, according to Warren? “I got mine. The rest of you are on your own.”
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a list like this.
As reader Tom W. reminded us, socialist party leader Adolf Hitler put together a similar list decades ago.
“The 25 Points of Hitler’s Nazi Party”1. We demand the union of all Germans in a Great Germany on the basis of the principle of self-determination of all peoples.
2. We demand that the German people have rights equal to those of other nations; and that the Peace Treaties of Versailles and St. Germain shall be abrogated.
It tells you a lot about the people of Mass electing a communist.
Disenchanted, with the exception of Scott Brown they seem to make a habit of electing communists.
sig Hagel Senator Warren. No wonder MA. is one of the worse states to live in
@MOS 8541: dumb@chicken thief: dumber@Disenchanted: dumbest
Are you guys competing?
I can see that the Warren prospect is scaring the begebbies out of the lunitic right. Too funny!
@Ronald J. Ward:
Scared of a Warren candidacy? Hardly. I hope the socialist lunatic does run. I cannot see her winning on a national scale, but if someone as vapid as she is were to win, I can only imagine the morons stupid enough to vote for her would.perform even more fantastic acts of pretzel logic to find a way to blame the inevitable economic collapse her extension of insane leftist policies would bring as somehow being Bush’s fault.
@Pete:
I think you have a few minutes to edit and correct that gibberish so that one could understand what you’re trying to say and then promptly dismiss you as a nonsensical troll.
The quote appearing with Elizabeth Warren’s photograph at the top of the thread makes perfect sense. Further, every quote of hers that follows also makes perfect sense.
What makes no sense whatsoever is the comparison with Adolph Hitler.
I think this article is an indicator of how far out of touch with reality some on the far right are becoming. Seriously suggesting a similarity between Elizabeth Warren and Adolph Hitler is somewhere across the line in the territory commonly referred to as crazy. People need to flip the switch controlling their brain back into the ON position.
@Greg: It’s all they’ve got. I mean,this bunch of loons (take Pete for example) are actually still claiming that GWB handed Obama an economy on solid ground which Obama promptly broke. You just can’t reason with stupid.
Enjoy: here are the original points; the mirroring images is awesome. The alleged piece of shit of an American Indian trash is a unified Nazi support.
Nazi Party 25 Points (1920)
The Nazi Party 25 Points, a political manifesto issued by the NSDAP. It was proclaimed in February 24th 1920 by Adolf Hitler, at the first large Party gathering in Munich. The Nazi hierarchy constantly referred to this manifesto as an an “unalterable expression” of the party’s political philosophy and mission.
1. We demand the unification of all Germans in the Greater Germany on the basis of the right of self-determination of peoples.
2. We demand equality of rights for the German people in respect to the other nations; abrogation of the peace treaties of Versailles and St. Germain.
3. We demand land and territory (colonies) for the sustenance of our people, and colonization for our surplus population.
4. Only a member of the race can be a citizen. A member of the race can only be one who is of German blood, without consideration of creed. Consequently no Jew can be a member of the race.
5. Whoever has no citizenship is to be able to live in Germany only as a guest, and must be under the authority of legislation for foreigners.
6. The right to determine matters concerning administration and law belongs only to the citizen. Therefore we demand that every public office, of any sort whatsoever, whether in the Reich, the county or municipality, be filled only by citizens. We combat the corrupting parliamentary economy, office-holding only according to party inclinations without consideration of character or abilities.
7. We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens. If it is impossible to sustain the total population of the State, then the members of foreign nations (non-citizens) are to be expelled from the Reich.
8. Any further immigration of non-citizens is to be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans, who have immigrated to Germany since the 2 August 1914, be forced immediately to leave the Reich.
9. All citizens must have equal rights and obligations.
10. The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all Consequently we demand:
11. Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of rent-slavery.
12. In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore we demand the total confiscation of all war profits.
13. We demand the nationalization of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).
14. We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.
15. We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.
16. We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation, immediate communalization of the great warehouses and their being leased at low cost to small firms, the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the State, county or municipality.
17. We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, abolition of taxes on land and prevention of all speculation in land.
18. We demand struggle without consideration against those whose activity is injurious to the general interest. Common national criminals, usurers, Schieber and so forth are to be punished with death, without consideration of confession or race.
19. We demand substitution of a German common law in place of the Roman Law serving a materialistic world order.
20. The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education and subsequently introduction into leading positions. The plans of instruction of all educational institutions are to conform with the experiences of practical life. The comprehension of the concept of the State must be striven for by the school [Staatsbuergerkunde] as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the education at the expense of the State of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession.
21. The State is to care for the elevating national health by protecting the mother and child, by outlawing child labour, by the encouragement of physical fitness, by means of the legal establishment of a gymnastic and sport obligation, by the utmost support of all organizations concerned with the physical instruction of the young.
22. We demand abolition of the mercenary troops and formation of a national army.
23. We demand legal opposition to known lies and their promulgation through the press. In order to enable the provision of a German press, we demand, that:
a. All writers and employees of the newspapers appearing in the German language be members of the race.
b. Non-German newspapers be required to have the express permission of the State to be published. They may not be printed in the German language.
c. Non-Germans are forbidden by law any financial interest in German publications, or any influence on them, and as punishment for violations the closing of such a publication as well as the immediate expulsion from the Reich of the non-German concerned. Publications which are counter to the general good are to be forbidden. We demand legal prosecution of artistic and literary forms which exert a destructive influence on our national life, and the closure of organizations opposing the above made demands.
24. We demand freedom of religion for all religious denominations within the state so long as they do not endanger its existence or oppose the moral senses of the Germanic race. The Party as such advocates the standpoint of a positive Christianity without binding itself confessionally to any one denomination. It combats the Jewish materialistic spirit within and around us, and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our nation can only succeed from within on the framework: common utility precedes individual utility.
25. For the execution of all of this we demand the formation of a strong central power in the Reich. Unlimited authority of the central parliament over the whole Reich and its organizations in general. The forming of state and profession chambers for the execution of the laws made by the Reich within the various states of the confederation. The leaders of the Party promise, if necessary by sacrificing their own lives, to support by the execution of the points set forth above without consideration.

@MOS 8541, #9:
Perhaps you could pair up Elizabeth Warren’s points on a one by one basis with those that you imagine are the mirror image from your Hitler list, for the benefit of those who have concluded that the assertion that they’re in anyway similar is a complete load of horse manure.
@Ronald J. Ward:
LOL…just because you can’t (or don’t want to) understand what I wrote doesn’t make it gibberish, nor does it make me a troll simply because you don’t like what I wrote about such a deceitful, arrogant socialist nitwit. Honestly anyone ignorant enough to think she would be anything but another incompetent leftist fool if elected president deserves exactly the ruin a Warren administration would bring.
@Ronald J. Ward:
Not only are you showing your stupidity, but your completely typical leftist dishonestly. Show a single post where I ever stated Obama was “handed an economy on solid ground”.
You, Sir, are a bald faced liar. But I expect nothing better from a leftist.
