Some guy named James Madison, You might have heard of him, opposed the idea a standing army.Actually, there was a standing army at the time the Second Amendment was written. Congress reinstated the Continental Army as the United States Army in September 1789. Two years before the Second Amendment was ratified. The militia exists with or without government. Without government, it is an unorganized militia. With government, it becomes a "well-regulated" militia.
Hitler was a socialist fascist, in the same vein as Mussolini, FDR, and Truman.
The majority of the army was disbanded after the revolution and only a small core remained.Answer
In June of 1787, James Madison addressed the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on the dangers of a permanent army. “A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty,” he argued. “The means of defense against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people.” That Madison, one of the most vocal proponents of a strong centralized government—an author of the Federalist papers and the architect of the Constitution—could evince such strongly negative feelings against a standing army highlights the substantial differences in thinking about national security in America between the 18th century and the 21st.
Most of the Continental Army was disbanded in 1783 after the Treaty of Paris formally ended the war. The 1st and 2nd Regiments went on to form the nucleus of the Legion of the United States in 1792 under General Anthony Wayne. This became the foundation of the United States Army in 1796.
Yet James Madison voted to reinstate the United State Army in September 1789.Some guy named James Madison, You might have heard of him, opposed the idea a standing army.
Which was reinstated in 1789. The United State Army has existed since the year the US Constitution was ratified. Get a clue.The majority of the army was disbanded after the revolution and only a small core remained.
Of course you can be a socialist and a fascist. All fascists are by definition socialists. Mussolini was a devote socialist and the FOUNDER of the fascism.You cannot be both a socialist and a fascist because fascism is capitalist. Mussolini was also a fascist.
Both FDR and Truman were fascist socialists, violating the rights of Americans and attempting to nationalize industries. Mussolini even wrote FDR a letter after his fascist New Deal programs passed Congress, congratulating FDR for his "fascist reforms." And he, of all people, would know. Unfortunately for the fascist FDR the Supreme Court would toss 11 of this 15 New Deal programs out as being unconstitutional. So FDR replaced the entire Supreme Court, whether they wanted to be replaced or not. That is fascism for you.FDR and Truman were centerist liberals. Bernie ais not as far left as either of them.
Someone posted this on another forum: ""the Constitution and Supreme Court means we get a free ticket to discriminate against people we don't like (see: Masterpiece Cake shop case).
Do conservative Christians really believe that the phrase "nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof " in the First Amendment of the Constitution and the Supreme Court's decision in the Masterpiece Cake case both mean they have the right to discriminate against gays and other "people we don't like"?
The 1st and 14th amendment do that, hence why a Neo-Nazi can't force the NAACP to accept them as a member.
This is the problem with the Liberal mind. They simply can't understand complex reading assignments. If the Liberal would take the time to read the Constitution, especially the first 10 BILL OF RIGHTS, the Liberals would understand that these rights limit the Government, not the people. Others are written for the same purposes. These are our protections against the government interfering in our lives. Not the other way around. The 1st Amendment has nothing to with individuals towards other individuals. The Government shall not infringe upon our rights with respect to the free exercise of religion. So, any time a judge gets a case where a Muslim doesn't want to bake an un-leaven loaf of bread for a Jew, the judge should throw the case immediately out because the judge is a part of the government. As a white man, any black should have the right not to hire me. But, the government can't discriminate. The government shouldn't be able to write laws preventing me to own any gun I want to. Don't like it, change the Constitution by the Amendment process.
So FDR replaced the entire Supreme Court, whether they wanted to be replaced or not.

Mussolini had been a leading member of the National Directorate of the Italian Socialist Party (PSI), but was expelled from the PSI for advocating military intervention in World War I,
No he didn't. You just made that up.
Fascists are capitalist, which means that they cannot be socialists. Mussolini was not a socialist. That is another lie. He had been a socialist but was expelled.
You are a waste of time to have a discussion with because you make it up as you go to suit your claims.
Mussolini wrote for Italian socialist paper Avante! and was a devote socialist his entire life, receiving praise from Lenin for his socialist fascism in Italy. All leftist scum are fascist freaks, including Truman, FDR, Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot. Leftist fascists were responsible for more than 100 million deaths last century alone. Which is why the leftist fascist Democratic Party is, and continues to be, the greatest enemy the US has ever faced.
Yes, he did. Between 1937 and 1943 FDR replaced all nine Supreme Court Justices. Clearly you are ignorant of American history.
But in the late 1930s, President Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted to put restrictions on the court when it came to age. Largely seen as a political ploy to change the court for favorable rulings on New Deal legislation, the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937, commonly referred to as the “court-packing plan,” was Roosevelt’s attempt to appoint up to six additional justices to the Supreme Court for every justice older than 70 years, 6 months, who had served 10 years or more.
Dr. David B. Woolner, senior fellow and resident historian of theRoosevelt Institute and author of The Last 100 Days: FDR at War and at Peace, says it’s important to note the timing of this bill, which took place during the Great Depression. “We were in the midst of the worst economic crisis in our history,” he says. “Roosevelt’s response to this economic crisis was to engage in a series of programs designed to manage a capitalist system in such a way as to make it work for the average American. And because he wasn’t particularly ideological, he was willing to try all kinds of things.”
Don't be stupid, of course you can. Mussolini was both a devote socialist leftist and the creator of fascism. Mussolini defined fascism as "all within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state." It doesn't get any more leftist than that.You cannot possibly be a leftist and be fascist. Fascism is a conservative idea.
It is you who are ignorant of the term. Fascism was created by leftists and can only be employed by leftists. The right-wing can be dictators, but only the left-wing can be fascist. Learn the difference.You can be authoritarian and be a leftist (Stalin), but you cannot be both leftist and be fascist. Please learn the difference before you reply to me.
FDR did not replace the SCOTUS justices. He tried to add more judges but that idea was rejected.
my interpretatation of their ruling
businesses cannot discriminate as the law has been EXCEPT when the act or service is out of the regular daily business, and is considered a "special order"
ie....the baker can turn down making a special cake, but they can buy any cake in the display
ie....a florist can turn down a gay wedding, but must sell all flowers in shop
that is the way i read it, but i could well be wrong....
your take?

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries. Opposed to liberalism, Marxism, and anarchism, fascism is placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum.

Sure were a lot of Socialists in that "conservative" movement
"But National Socialism is Different" :lol:
From its rise to power in 1933, the Nazi regime built a series of incarceration sites to imprison and eliminate real and perceived "enemies of the state." Most prisoners in the early concentration camps were political prisoners—German Communists, union members, Socialists, Social Democrats—as well as Roma (Gypsies), Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, and persons accused of "asocial" or socially deviant behavior. Many of these sites were called concentration camps. The term concentration camp refers to a camp in which people are detained or confined, usually under harsh conditions and without regard to legal norms of arrest and imprisonment that are acceptable in a constitutional democracy.
National socialist is a euphemism for fascism.
Hitler was not a leftist. A politician doesn't send his core supporters away to concentration camps
Isn't that a "No True Scotsman" fallacy? That is, a true socialist (however one chooses to define that) cannot be an avowed racist or a nationalist? Or that socialism is incompatible with nationalism or racism?

Hitler was as much of a socialist as Kim Jong Un is a Democrat.
Yup. That's why I referenced it.
:lol: that he sent other kinds of socialists to concentration camps in no way makes Hitler Not-A-Leftist. He shares that trait, after all, with Lenin, Stalin, and Mao.
Hitler was as much of a socialist as Kim Jong Un is a Democrat.
Was Erich Honecker, the leader of East Germany also a Democrat?
