Jez curious - what is your definition of
fascist
communist
neo con
you are pretty good at labels without context - I really am curious about your notion of 'objective reporting'.. Guardian? Kos? Fox News?
Maybe contrast your favorite 'fair and balanced' with say Hannity and Combs or the Economist?
I suppose that if you looked at it in a perverted manner, the Neutron Bomb might be considered a green bomb.
On the subject of nuclear warheads; the neo-con nuts in the US have joined with their defence contracter bedmates to promote the idea that many of their existing warheads cannot be relied upon and hence it is 'vital to national security'* that the idle weapons developers be given billions to replace these largely redundant weapons. Scientific American recently had an article on the subject.
According to the promoters of this program, all mankind shall derive great benefit from these new thermonuclear bombs. They're promising to make them 'greener'...
Yup, environmentally-friendly 'Green' nukes
* i.e., the rich folks need to replace those shabby little 10,000 sq.ft. summer 'cottages' with something a little less cramped ...

"KEEP ON TOPIC! WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE TOPIC OF THIS THREAD?"
And then in keeping in the spirit of your chastising demand, your next post is an ad hominem attack...Is this the role of the moderaters here, to make sure everyone toes the party line?
Anyway, since my sardonic little post has resulted in nine ad hominem attacks against myself, I think I'm justified in responding (with apologies to the originater of the thread).
First, I'd like to state for the record that I am not now, nor ever have been, a member of the Communist Party. Or the the NDP, for that matter...
Having said that, I make no bones about my contempt for the present US administration. If that makes me anti-American, or a communist, then so are millions of your fellow compatriots. But then again, those who who avidly swallow the Gospel According to Saints Dubya, Cheney, Coulter, O'Reilly, Colmes, Hannity, Limbaugh, ad nauseum, probably believe exactly that...
Dr Bill's diagnosis of cranial hyper-ossification as cause for my preposterous socialistic delusions, while admirably concise, begs the question of from what authority he makes such conclusions. Are you a board-certified neurologist, as well as the authority on all things aerodynamic? Credentials, work experience, etc., if you please...And while your at it, I suggest that you yourself google the meanings of 'communism', 'fascism', if you wish to know what they mean. Nothing in either of my posts implied any reference to those subjects. You're projecting...Also check out 'lame', 'ad hominem attack', 'mudslinger'...
Anyway, I was going to respond to some more of the specific remarks laid against me, but frankly I've got better things to do than play petty games with the humorless and hypersensitive commisars of the party dogma. I won't be responding to any further ad hominem attacks, so save your ire for the real commies...
Again, I apologize to the starter of this thread. It was not my intention to initiate this pitiful tea-pot (or is that 'tin-pot'?) tempest.

Crystal...
I know the Brits are in the process of replacing the Trident D-5, where is the funding stand with this effort?

Actually - the differences between Fascist and Communist with respect to Human rights is not much. I personally didn't perceive that you were any of those.

Duly noted

And you were complaining about Ad Hominem attacks? 'Swallow' implies belief without thought - is that what you mean? Or did you mean they individually and sometimes collectively hold a different view of the world - and therefore are beneath contempt?

I was, and still am, curious regarding your definition of 'neo con' since that was the brush stroke used to 'paint all' as of lower intelligence and comprehension from your own? What is a 'neo con' in your world and how do they automatically get assembled and cast into the 'cretin' bin?
"Bonehead" is slang for a "stupid or dense person". "Stupid and Dense" alternatively, are "uninteresting, trite and or dull" as well as "showing a lack of sense or intelligence"
I put you in the "uninteresting and trite" category with labelling of "neo con' to those that respecttfully disagree with your POV, but are somehow beneath your contempt as a result - and throw in "showing a lack of sense" for the way you conducted yourself.
My qualifications for assigning this one word Webster defined label to you, are therefore 63 years of progressive experience at a.) being the occasional Bonehead, and b.) observing many more that fit the above qualifications - such as yourself.
Does that work for you?
