Oh shit, this is an essay, sorry, I was editing it ;) 06:11, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Fraudulent elections
Hm, ever considered the possibility that the election of Obama was rigged so that the GOP wouldn't have to clear up the economic mess they'd created? In which case the previous administration would have been fascist! :) 06:42, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Bush
It might be instructive to carry out the same analysis of the Bush administration.--BobNot Jim 06:54, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, of course it is an essay, and you are within your rights. I propose we move this to mainspace? Or at least you don't undo my making your essay more literate? 08:10, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I moved it to mainspace. 00:48, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * You didn't move it; you just copied it. Do we still need it in two places?   16:54, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I copied it to mainspace in case anyone wanted to edit it further. If the mainspace version is thus to be changed, I would like to keep my own version. 20:18, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps move your version to a subpage of your user page and then link to the mainspace one? Acei9 20:20, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I added the link to the mainspace version, but I see no reason to move this one out of essay space. 20:26, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't mind myself, just offering alternatives up. Acei9 20:32, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

lapel pin?
Under the Patriotism heading, how about pointing out that the irony that the people who accuse him of fascism are the same ones who criticized him for not wearing a flag lapel pin? DickTurpis (talk) 16:57, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The essay is meant to analyze Obama's position with respect to the Fourteen Warning Signs of Fascism. It is not meant to bash his opponents. You can place this observation in the mainspace version, if you wish. 20:17, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Just a heads up
Dr. Lawrence Britt doesn't actually exist, as seen here. The person disproving the existence of "Dr" Britt reveals himself to be a Von Mises crank near the end but otherwise he seems correct about Britt and his actual credentials. ClothCoat (talk) 03:26, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
