		<description>The Dystopian Donald Dancers- the &quot;Freedom Kids&quot; sue Trump for breach of agreement...
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/26/politics/freedom-kids-donald-trump-lawsuit/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/26/politics/freedom-kids-donald-trump-lawsuit/index.html&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;In January, the USA Freedom Kids rocketed to viral fame after performing at a Donald Trump rally in Pensacola, Florida. But undisclosed after the red, white and blue performance of &quot;Freedom&#039;s call&quot; was a brewing resentment from the group&#039;s manager toward the Trump campaign.

This behind-the-scenes disagreement has now boiled over into the threat of a lawsuit, as first reported by The Washington Post.
Jeff Popick, the father of one of the girls and manager of the group, confirmed to CNN on Tuesday he soon intends to file a suit against the Trump campaign and said he had secured the legal services of lawyer Marc Shapiro.
&quot;It&#039;s not going to be a billion dollar lawsuit,&quot; Popick stressed, calling the impetus for the suit mostly an issue of &quot;morality.&quot;
Popick said the disagreement stemmed from two broken promises the Trump campaign made to the USA Freedom Kids. He said the Trump campaign did not honor an agreement to let the group set up a table to sell its CDs at a rally and then canceled a performance without explanation in Des Moines, Iowa, after the group made a &quot;very lengthy odyssey&quot; to do a set at a Trump event.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Fascism is about unrestrained state power.&lt;/p&gt;

Anybody telling you otherwise is usually supporting giving more power to the State.</description>

		<description>Trying to associate opposition with racial slurs camouflages the root values of liberalism. 

Interesting read their about Jewish involvement and displacement TB. 

I still look at fascist through the financial lens. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;Fascism substituted the particularity of nationalism and racialism—“blood and soil”—for the internationalism of both classical liberalism and Marxism.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Fascism.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Economic fascism&lt;/a&gt;

Mussolini had followers with his fascist programs like Hitler, who adapted it to Marxism and Roosevelt who implemented the New Deal.</description>

		<description>Robert wants to know what I&#039;ve said about actual fascism. Feel free to run a search over the past few months.

While bigotry seems to be the primary touchstone for modern liberal definitions of &quot;fascism,&quot; it&#039;s interesting that Mussolini&#039;s fascism had no real anti-Semitic traits until the treaty with Hitler in the late 30s. There were even Jewish party leaders. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.acjna.org/acjna/articles_detail.aspx?id=300&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Some history.&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>And ER knows also. It&#039;s the connection to Nazi&#039;s that&#039;s the problem and the only spin around it is denial and personal attacks as can be seen in this thread.

If they think a presidential candidate is or would embrace and implement the murderous actions and harsh views of the Nazi&#039;s then there&#039;s nothing that can be said to them that will stop the slandering.</description>

		<description>Damn you, McFly.  I was getting ready to use that line myself, in case I needed a clever rebuttal for a hysterical attack, and you thought of it first!

What can I say?  Great minds think alike.
