A quick aside, so that I can have an entry to link to those (seemingly endless) Kossacks who say some variation of: “I could never recommend/… any post by someone with a username like yours! How disgusting!!”
First, (do I really need to say this?): I am not a Nazi!!
Second, the derivation of this name stems from a series of coincidences that, in my admittedly warped sense of humor, led to its evolution.
Specifically, I am a Libertarian who believes that a big role of government is to expand the blessings of Liberty to all Americans, whether they be POC (Loving decision by SCOTUS, CRA, etc.) gay marriage, abortion rights and any others. As Thomas Jefferson said: if something neither breaks my leg nor lifts my wallet, we have no right to restrict it.
Also, I am a Socialist who believes that government has a legitimate role to create and maintain an economic system/order that fosters the greatest good for the greatest number of American citizens — not the maximization of profits for corporations!
Now, we come to the rub — the “Nazi” label. This has 2 origins….
I have some decidedly non-PC views on some things, such as: permanent incarceration for pedophiles and other determined threats to society; death penalty, though as it is currently applied in America, No! because our judicial system is so broken; and a few others. Hey — hang me!
Also, though, when Tom Perkins and all the other super-oligarchs started calling the OWS protesters “Nazis” and invoking “KristallNacht”, well — yeah, MotherFuckers! — call us whatever you want and we’ll still knock down your gated walls and make you try to work for a living if you’re too tired of your tax rate!! Bring it on!!
Final point: if any of you would be so shallow as to say “I won’t read, etc. your post because your username makes my sensibilities all aflutter” without even reading what I have to say, well, your loss much more than mine, so just Have a Nice Day and move the heck on! I don’t need some lecture as if I’m an idiot.
