Karen Hughes, a former member of the Bush Administration, has sparked controversy with her comments linking the value of life post-9/11 to policies on abortion. Critics argue that her statements trivialize both the tragedy of 9/11 and the complex issue of reproductive rights. Hughes suggested that the American public now values life more and that President Bush's policies aim to reduce abortions and increase adoptions. This has led to accusations of her using a national tragedy for political gain, particularly against pro-choice advocates. Many participants in the discussion express outrage over her perceived elitism and hypocrisy, arguing that her comments are offensive and misrepresent the nuanced views surrounding abortion. The debate highlights the contentious intersection of political rhetoric and personal beliefs, especially in the context of women's rights and reproductive health.

Bull! Hitler was as much as socialist as Bush is a conservative.

Hughes, I'm curious. When did you leave your alternate universe and come to ours? You seem to have an entirely different history where you came from.

Well Nazi is short for the German phrase that means "National Socialism". And there used to be a joke that Hitler fulfilled every program in the Communist Manifesto and made May 1 a holiday besides.

Hitler's socialism, like Stalin's, was state/party capitalism.

Jump suit,
People in your universe should study a little German...and a little history too.
Good job selfAdjoint.

Hitler was always a proponent of "the big lie". Nothing about his agenda was socialist. Is everyone named Johnson the son of someone named John? Names mean little, or nothing in this case.

Socialism is the redistribution of wealth from the wealthy to the poor.

Facism, Hitlers poitical persuasion, is about the consolidation of unchecked power in an elite organization based on some unifying characteristic. When it suited the Nazis, capitalism thrived. When it did not, industries became nationalized.

I understand how the poorly educated mistake the nazis for communists - both rely on an elite, priveliged party, but to think that the nazis were socialists is just pathetic.

If you intend to disagree with yourself all the time, you should at least do it in two separate posts.

Selective reader, that Hughes is (Quote from Yoda). Hughes, you didn't include 'When it suited the Nazis, capitalism ... when it did not...' Nothing contradictory about his statement.

Yes Hughes. Generally when dishonest hacks deceptively quote people out of context they don't do it directly beneath the full quote. You'll never be writing for The Washington Times if you can't do better than that.

ROTFL, for sure! Hughes seems to have a myoptic way of seeing. He only sees what he wants to and that when its in agreement with him. BTW, I'm not a democrat.

Zero is right, stay on track, besides, I believe you have quoted Yoda out of context here.
