    The picture of surfers with Nazi regalia reminds me of surfers wearing swasticas on neck chains when I was a kid.

    Mussolini was a man of the Left, and much of the Western Left first praised Mussolini and then Hitler until 22 June 1941.

    "Between his assumption of power in 1933 and the Soviet-Nazi Pact of 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union were, or pretended to be, on the worst of possible terms. They assailed each other with abusive material stressing the ideological incompatibility of Communism and National Socialism, while studiously ignoring the obvious similarities between the two systems...." Ronald Hingley, "Joseph Stalin" p. 292.

    Exactly right.

    “‘A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’ Negroes don't realize this, that they are within their constitutional rights to own a rifle, to own a shotgun. When the bigoted white supremacists realize that they are dealing with Negroes who are ready to give their own lives in defense of life and property, then these bigoted Whites will change their whole strategy and their whole attitude.” Malcom X, By Any Means Necessary, Malcom X, Betty Shabazz and Pathfinder Press, 1992. p. 11.

    I was talking about LA skid row.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skid_Row,_Los_Angeles
    I didn't become news until the homeless pop explosion.

    They were called republicrats. Moderates were mainly in the democratic party because republicans tend to be fanatics who have no tolerance for any deviation from the republican religious sect.

    Glad you can give historic contrasts. I've always loved studying history.

    At least Moi is concerned about making sure everyone is afforded comprehensive health care if it means less communicable disease and why at least California will provide socialized medicine soon [New York also].

    Your equating Democrats with authoritarian socialists is nonsense and should be dusmissed with a wave of the hand.

    @carlosofcali too, :woot:

    @LangleyMan
    If you knew anything of what you rattle,
    you would know the Greatest State of California
    does that today and has for over 100 years.
    Even incarcerating those who skip treatment mid course.
    It is part of the State's County Health system.
    Even cost cutting Reagan who released mental hospital
    patients to the streets did not mess with the State's TB program.

    Can we get real, and non partisan?
    (omg did I just paraphrase Trump's speech?)

    He's got the wrong horse hitched to his wagon. Yeah, he's right about the science and we all have an interest in preventing anti-biotic resistant TB from taking hold in our country.

    Ordinary Americans who identify as Republicans and Democrats are very similar. Hence the election of Donald Trump.

    The Los Angeles Skid Row has actually existed since the 19th century.

    "Skid Row, Los Angeles
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Contents

    The corner of 5th and San Pedro in 1875
    Skidrow Serenade

    The population is probably more motley than that in a similar district of any other American city. Jews, Greeks, and Italians in the doorways of pawnshops and secondhand clothing stores vie with one another to lure the unwary passer-by inside. A fat German runs a beer parlor and just across the street a dapper Frenchman ladles up 5-cent bowls of split pea soup. A large, blond woman named Sunshine, born in Egypt, manages one of the cleaner rooming houses. A few Chinese practically monopolize the hand laundry business, and Japanese the cheapest cafes and flophouses. Americans Indians barter for forbidden whiskey. Chattering Mexicans loiter on the steps leading up to a second-floor hotel. Dapper Negroes, better dressed than any other vagabonds, wander by in riotous groups.
    Huston Irvine, Los Angeles Times (March 26, 1939)[4]

    At the end of the 19th century, a number of residential hotels opened in the area as it became home to a transient population of seasonal laborers.[5] By the 1930s, Skid Row was home to as many as 10,000 homeless people, alcoholics, and others on the margins of society.[4] It supported saloons, residential hotels, and social services, which drew people from the populations they served to congregate in the area.[6]

    In June 1947, LAPD chief Clemence B. Horrall ordered what he called a "blockade raid" of the whole Skid Row area. Over 350 people were arrested. Assistant Chief Joseph Reed, who claimed that "at least 50 percent of all the crime in Los Angeles originates in the Skid Row area," stated that there had been no "strong arm robberies" on Skid Row as late as one week after the raid. Long time residents, however, were skeptical that the changes would last.[7]

    In 1956, the city of Los Angeles was in the midst of a program to "rehabilitate" Skid Row[8]through the clearance of decaying buildings.[9] The program was presented to property owners in the area as an economy measure. Gilbert Morris, then superintendent of building, said that at that point the provision of free social services to the approximately one square mile of Skid Row cost the city over $5 million per year as opposed to the city average of $110,000 per square mile annually.[8] The city used administrative hearings to compel the destruction of nuisance properties at the expense of the owner. By July 1960, the clearance program was said to be 87% complete in the Skid Row area.[9]" Wiki

    No one should rely on Democrat Socialists to reject authoritarian socialism.

    "...he described the speech [by Hitler] as a "genuinely statesmanlike address.' ... 'We have heard once more ... the authentic voice of a genuinely civilized people.' ... 'to deny today that Germany can speak as a civilized power because uncivilized things are being done in Germany is in itself a deep form of intolerance." Walter Lippmann praising Hitler, from Ronald Steele, "Walter Lippmann and The American Century", p.331.

    I remember Reagan's decision to release mentally ill; it was approved by both Rep & Dems. The mistake was not providing extensive mental health services within the community. That is improving but still needs more attention. The guy who killed everyone in sight and then himself in a country-western bar [Thousand Oaks] was seriously homicidal and should have never been allowed to buy guns.

    Not that it's particularly relevant here but what percentage of those people in that country-western bar who were killed do you think would have been in favor of more gun control?
    Let's be honest.

    Good question especially considering they were college students for the most part. My sense is that gun control is important just because mentally ill having access to deadly weapons. Even the guy in Vegas killed himself but who knows what triggered that kind of rage.

    I think Phoenix is warmer than LA. No real problem there. I think it's just the decline of Kalifornia in general.

    No comparison, Phoenix is way hotter than LA. In-fact Phoenix is worse than Vegas because of high humidity during monsoon season [Palm Springs is miserable also].

    The treatment completion rate is on people they identify. What about sick homeless they're not finding. What about illegals hiding from authorities?

    My sister taught at Napa High School. So many kids went to Mexico at Christmas to visit family, many of them illegals BTW, the school district extended Chistmas break by a year. We don't have control of the situation.

    We're playing with fire:


    I'm for comprehensive immigration reform and I'm not locked into BS coming from either party.

    Great. California can't even pay for it's far left wing policies now. What's another trillion or so? LMAO.

    So when are you going to get all your left wing ilk out of poverty, off welfare, out of homelessness, and clean up all that feces and those needles in the streets? You know, things that would really make a difference in your left wing 3rd world state.

    Why does New York have a far higher homelessness rate than Texas and Florida then? I'm sure it's not left wing policies, but the weather, right?
