Oh shit, this is an essay, sorry, I was editing it ;) ħuman 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! :) Генгис^unbelieving 06:42, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Bush

It might be instructive to carry out the same analysis of the Bush administration.--Bob^{Not 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? ħuman 08:10, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

I moved it to mainspace. ListenerX^TalkerX 00:48, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

You didn't move it; you just copied it. Do we still need it in two places? Wěǎšěǐǒǐď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 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. ListenerX^TalkerX 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. ListenerX^TalkerX 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. ListenerX^TalkerX 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)
