This America representative made the funniest comment back to a woman who asked "why do you support a nazi healthcare policy" Barney just went off on her. When i saw it i was like wowww.. this woman is soo stupid.. Thanks barney for teaching her a lesson.

Hello85....Welcome to Canadian Content Forums. I've sent you a PM (Private
Message) with some guidance in it for you. You can't (I believe) directly respond
to it at this point, but it'll get you started. :lol:

This isn't an issue about left and right its about immunizing people against ignorance. I find it funny that people keep referring to the Nazi group as a bunch of communists when in fact the Nazi movement or National Socialism was in fact a conservative right wing organization. Its too bad conservatives don't know that.

To bad the education system that failed our children, is still failing to teach there children. The Nazi's were in fact a extreme right wing political party, perfectly legal. Now for the kicker, why is it that most of the teachers are more left than right?

At the time in Germany they were legal when they came to power, they are not legal now I understand. At one time it was illegal in North America too, but I
don't know if that changed. I would much rather my grand children learn from
teachers who are slightly left that right wing anyday.
The right wing global policy is the reason we find ourselves the mess we're in today.
As the economy gets worse, and it will get worse before it gets better, you will
see more and more governments going left like Japan did last Sunday.

That was a 'save'?

Heck no. All he did is further divide, when instead he could have had an opportunity to explain WHY she was making a ridiculous comparison. Driving a wedge further and further between the factions serves no purpose.

You think that would work? I don't. Someone holding a picture of Obama with a Hitler moustache and asking a leading question about a nazi healthcare policy isn't interested in debate. Quite the opposite. They are interested derailing reasoned debate by linking Obama with Hitler and universal healthcare with Nazism.

Ridicule was the proper response. He should have embarassed her until she wanted to crawl under a rock, effectively shutting up anyone else present with similar ideas. Then the debate could move on to its intended purpose... discussing the pros and cons of the Democrat's proposed health care policy.

BTW, the same tactic is used here. When certain people on this forum begin losing a debate through logic, they resort to name calling. If the person ignores the name calling, and the name calling is persistent, the labels begin to stick and the person who won the debate by logic looses credibility. Reasonable people start ignoring you. After all, who would listen to a Nazi?

If the person defends themselves from the name calling, then the subject of the debate changes to whether or not someone is a Nazi. The person called names still looses credibility. Its impossible to win that type of debate. So ridicule is probably the correct tactic to deal with the ridiculous.

But if you think you could win that debate, then perhaps you could explain why Obama isn't Hitler and the Democrat's proposed communist health care policy isn't a form of Nazism. I'll respond by ignoring whatever you say, waving my Obama/Hitler photo and screaming, "NAZI!, NAZI!..." If you take me seriously, I'll win that debate every time.

You cannot have a dialogue with a fanatic from the political right wing, anymore than you can have a discussion with the fanatical left. The only way to hold a
meeting like that, is to shut down the fanatical protesters.
Some years ago I was a candidate in a federal election, and I tell you its not all what's its cracked up to be especially if you tell a situation, any situation the way it
is. No I didn't win, but I answered peoples questions sometimes from a party point
of view, but there were times I did tell people that is party policy my view differs,
in the following way. Before the election was over the party wasn't totally happy,
the opposition parties were confused but then I have always thought the opposition
was often confused about what Canadians want. That alone is funny, because the
one thing I found is that most Canadians don't know what the hell they want and if
they want something that could change in a week lol.
Barney Frank has always served his people well like him or not. I think he is a
progressive and a real liberal. When it comes to politics I am a progressive socially
and I am conservative fiscally. Find out the size of the problem and remember the
cost of the program must include the cost of ongoing maintenance.

If that is what you like, then you cannot complain about how their education turns out. I was not referring to the goverments leanings, just the teachers. Today kids in the U.S. are graduating high school not even knowing the capitol of Canada. As for Mexico, they think that one is a trick question.

Simple answer;
Teachers for the most part have never had a real job. They simply changed the direction their desk is facing. Therefore they lack real life experiences that disprove their ideas. Their pay cheques come on time with an excellent benny package and no worries about being competent. I once took some business courses after I had been a contractor for a few years. Their abstract theories on how business should operate are a long way from the reality of small business. Same goes for most of their ideas on socialism.
