Critics on Twitter have been chilled by a major design element of the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference that eerily resembles the insignia of a volunteer unit of Adolf Hitler’s notorious Waffen SS.

That's funny. I hope you live long enough to see who brings this country to socialism and finally communism. I pray that you live long enough.

Frank T Loc: New York, NY

Neither, socialism, nor communism is fascism.
The Republicans already own the Neo-Nazi movement in this country and this stage design is no accident.

Drbobcameraguy Loc: Eaton Ohio

I repeat my statement. I hope you live long enough to see the results.

DaveO Loc: Northeast CT

Spoken like a true trumpette fascist.

Frank T Loc: New York, NY

So, you support neo nazis.
Aren't you just precious.

Texcaster Loc: Queensland

This orange demagogue machine has/does pander to anyone that likes Trump.

Just as Trump made Fox too lame for partisan goons, he's starting to jettison the dog whistle and let it all hang out.

Drbobcameraguy Loc: Eaton Ohio

Didn't say I support anything or anyone. Just hoped you both have a long life to see the outcome. Your snarky and rude comments are a sign of something I fail to understand. The original poster made a statement. I wished him a long life to see if his statement became true. PERIOD. Amazing how some people are so intelligent that they can know thoughts that were never thought. I think you both must have issues of some sort. If you only knew my views you would feel foolish. So very foolish. Sorry you both are handicapped by knowledge that doesn't exist.

By "socialism" do you mean the Social Security and Medicare that you enjoy, the public schools your children attended, and the "free" fire and police services, public libraries, roads and bridges? Not to mention all of the federal agencies that apply all those horrible "regulations" - the kind that keeps our airlines safe to fly, our water safe to dink, our food safe to eat, and our air safe to breathe?

Drbobcameraguy Loc: Eaton Ohio

No social security was a wonderful idea until the government misappropriated the funds and now cannot afford to put the money borrowed back with the interest so it can stay solvent. I mean Venezuela socialism. Not rules and regulations. Are people really this ignorant? Or is it that since they understand there can be no consequences to their statement that they just provoke? I pray it is the later because if it's the first humanity is doomed.

WOW, is that the big bad socialism that every kool-aid drinker is afraid of.

They never knew it was in their backyard all along. what a bunch of goombas.

SB, you forgot to add, "electrical grid systems functioning"

People find it to much more fun to argue from a position of flexible-ignorance rather than understanding the details of the subject at hand. Drbobcameraguy is an example of perhaps, probably, for sure, does not know the meaning of the " socialism and finally communism" he is spouting off about.

People jump on social programs as being the extreme socialism. Those who protest, would protest very loudly if their so-called "socialistic" advantages were cut off. The Good Socialism is where the people work together to finance the common good. Republican President D. Eisenhower's interstate road system is an example; financed by tax money. Bad Socialism is tax breaks and money giveaways to petrochemical [oil] companies that make billions.

Drbobcameraguy and others of that ilk should educate themselves.

Socialism: "allocate resources using central planning, as in a command economy. Examples of greater social needs include transportation, defense, education, health care, and preservation of natural resources. Some also define the common good as caring for those who can't directly contribute to production. Examples include the elderly, children, and their caretakers."

Communism is confused with Stalinist era government. If people are going to be against something they should understand what it is.

Oh! let us not forget the USA form of government:

You are preaching to the choir.

You will never reach the ones that need to hear it.

Maybe it's just that words have meanings, whether or not you wish to accept that.
