Okay, so I see in the news a lot (and read about/see the stupidity that is on Fox News) about people against Obama. I understand not everyone is going to agree with his policies, even I don't agree with all of them, and I am all for speaking out against the President to voice your opinions in politics; the First Amendment gives you that right.
However, I am not in favor of some of the terms used to describe our President, namely "Nazi," "Fascist" and "Communist". First of all, I do not see Obama killing six million Jews, I do not see him taking over other countries (the war he is fighting was inherited from the past President). Last time I checked, he was a member of the Democrats, not the Nazi Party. And the Nazis would not have even allowed him in the Party...remember, they were the ones who believed the Aryan race was the best, and remember, Obama is half-black, not blond-haired, blue-eyed. Finally, I have heard people call him "Fascist" and "Communist" in the same breath, almost as if those terms are interchangeable. They are not. While similar, they are, in fact, two completely different political ideologies. An example of a historical fascist nation would be Nazi-Germany. An example of a historical nation would be the Soviet Union. If you remember World War II, Hitler invaded Stalin's Soviet Union. Fascism is the government controlling everything, except in name (they let you believe the citizens have control). Communism controls everything without pretending the people have a say--if you don't like it, too bad.
So, in short, I don't have a problem with people disagreeing with the President and voicing their opinions, however, I have a problem with the terms they use to describe our President.
