Too often in politics, partisan bias on both ends of the spectrum cloud judgement and completely destroys any attempt at objective analysis:

*refer to previous blog post*
Fix:
Jake you should be happy...now all of your union friends will have even more say in getting their buddies elected than they did in the 2008 elections
Jake:
Fix.. you should be just as disillusioned as i am but instead you resort to a double logical fallacy with your sarcastic implications. it doesn't take a genius to identify this as a guised ad hominem attack, in which you attempt to tarnish my standing in our societal caste system, as well as my intellectual credibility and general character, with your veiled and factually inaccurate attempt to portray my so-called affinity toward unions which, are I guess, intrinsically evil. every time some type of progressive initiative is introduced, far too often do cons. bypass rational thought and introduce the slippery-slope argument to the painfully boring and redundant conclusion of fascism. you know hitler was never a fascist. he was the nihilist leader of a death cult. mussolini, now he was a fascist, augmenting his brutal ruling with a corporatist economic system. i don't give a fuck if it's ge, local pipe fitters #138 or news corp., no corporation should be allowed to thrust influence of a collective treasury to influence the body politic and drawn out the voice of the individual (even more so than they all already do). i get so much sand in my vagina every time i am the lone identifier of the terminal hypocrisy of conservatives with their default fascist argument with these now two, tragically overlooked FACTS:
1) it was a conservative republican administration who created the most AUTHORITARIAN and civil-rights divesting initiative ever with the aptly-named patriot act, which true conservatives recognize isn't really conservative at all. Yet, beacuase of partisan bias, they (you) refused to speak out about it (and still do). And since i am of higher intellectual enlightenment than most, i can see the hypocrisy of the current so-called progressive admin. continuing this horrific law.
2) it was a conservative supreme court that ignored centuries of precedent and allowed for the creation of the most CORPORATIST economy in the history of the u.s. conservatives are dead silent about this now because they know it is grotesquely wrong and/or know it might favor a republican agenda at the present time. i assure you this is not a victory for anyone.
do me a favor do some research on how AUTHORITARIAN and CORPORATIST relate to fascism.
