According to potential Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson, not only is the U.S. turning into Nazi Germany but the country is also taking its cues from communists.
In an interview yesterday with Iowa-based broadcaster Steve Deace, Carson said the powers of the executive branch are growing because if somebody refuses to cooperate, you just pull the noose on them. Thats basically the way a lot of communist countries work, thats been happening to us over the last several years and most of us are completely unaware of it.
The best way to curb that is you get somebody in office who actually understands the separation of powers and is not trying to become a dictator, he said.
In a Wednesday interview with Andy Parks of the Washington Times, Carson said that ISIS could be easily defeated in no time but President Obama refuses to do it.

And people actually take this guy seriously as a potential presidential candidate? He would lose all 50 states and his 'coattails' would cost his party all of congress.

However, on most other things regarding social or inter nation affairs he talks out of his ass without any grasp of the situation

It was like reading about two entirely different people.

I personally believe that he is getting paid big bucks, most likely by the koch enterprises. Something caused him to change, and I suspect money from the koch brothers is a big part of it

From Wikipedia - apparently a comedian named Cecil Armstrong uses it as a catchphrase. Explained as:
"Now let me tell y'all what "shucky ducky" is. "Shucky ducky" is this phrase that I created means disappointment or excitement. For example, instead of cursing when you stomp your toe, you say "shucky ducky". Now if you see a fine girl or a guy you like, you say "awwwwww, shuck-ay duck-ay!" Now if you get the girl pregnant, you say "Damn!", 'cause you done shuck your ducky too long."
So it's a penis reference? Is Cain telling his audience to shuck his ducky?

(45,251 posts)We "know" this because of the name of the Party.
Because, after all, it's about labels and not ideology or actions.
And the name of the Nazi Party in German was/is "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei," aka the National Socialist German Workers Party.
See? The word Socialist is in the name. That settles it.
And, as everyone in America "knows," anyone left of center is communist.
Ergo, the left is both communist and Nazi.
And you thought that was impossible (not to mention stooopid), you sillies.
