What’s the difference between modern liberals and fascists?

Question by Whig Party: What’s the difference between modern liberals and fascists?
I’m looking over the list of NAZI Germany’s policies and they are the same as the Democrat strategy with only a couple of differences(I will mention at the end):

*Clamping down on “BIG” business
*Blame the wealthy
*Spread the wealth
*Accuse opponents of being extremists
*Appeal to the younger audience
*Tighter gun control
*Innovation from government and not private sector
*Oversight and regulation of businesses
*”Green” regulations and government policies
*Stronger ties with the Muslim Middle East
Differences:
*Hitler wanted a strong army
*NAZI’s weren’t “Democratic”
*Hitler was only for the German race

The buck stops there.(And don’t tell me they were anti liberal. They were anti CLASSICAL liberal, not anti liberal in the modern sense)

Further reading:
“How Green were the NAZI’s?: Nature, Environment, and Nation in the Third Reich”
Peter Temin (November 1991) “Economic History Review, New Series 44″
“Nazi Economics. Ideology, Theory and Policy”

https://www.tcd.ie/history/undergraduate/pdf/bwwii/jstorarticles/Stefan%20Wild%20National%20Socialims%20in%20the%20Arab%20Middle%20East%201933%201939.pdf

I really can’t find any other differences.
“Reich Nature Protection Act”
For “Reality has a Liberal Bias”
Ran it through a spell checker. My grammar and spelling check out guys. Nice try though.
For those that don’t get it Nazism is only considered right wing because it’s nationalistic. If you don’t understand the left right spectrum you probably shouldn’t be in the politics section.

Transferring from Canadian University to a University in U.S?

Question by : Transferring from Canadian University to a University in U.S?
Hi, this is my first year studying in a Canadian University. I recently got my green card and was planning to move and attend a university in Massachusetts (preferably close to Southborough). I finished High school with an average of 78% and I will know my final marks for my first term by the end of december in this Canadian university. I intend to do a 4 year Bachelor of Science in Information Technology or Information Systems when I move to M.A. I am currently taking economics, administrative studies, object-based programming, and Intro to Information Technology. Just a couple of questions:

1) Will my first term Canadian University credits get transferred? If yes, what is the lowest mark I can get in order to transfer the course(s).

2) Will I have to take S.A.T or A.C.Ts?

3) I am a green card holder, so will I still have to pay those high international student tuition fees or am I considered local?

4) What are some prestigious I.T/Business Universities in Massachusetts?

5) Do I have to stay in residence for my first year there?

6) When I transfer, will I be a first-year or second-year student?

7) Can I get financial aid, scholarships, or grants by any chance? If so, how?

Thank you for your time :)

This program, which is more widely known as ‘EB-5,’ seeks to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment from wealthy immigrants, while providing those immigrants a practical green card alternative. The program has been a growing success, with much foreign investment pouring in from China, Korea, and the U.K. In the past five years, more than $ 3 billion of foreign capital have been invested into the U.S. through EB-5, creating thousands of jobs in a variety of industries. The Forum aims to help U.S. companies and individuals tap into more of this international investment capital.

This year’s day-long event will feature some of the most experienced and knowledgeable professionals from the EB-5 Regional Center Program and the foreign investment industry. Scheduled speakers include Mr. Brian Su, CEO of Artisan Business Group, Inc. and the EB-5 China Marketing and Field Support Center, Ms. Jo Ann Clarke, Founder and President of The EB-5 Resource Center, LLC, Dr. Scott W.

Bernstein, Partner and Immigration Attorney of Bernstein Osberg-Braun & deMoraes, and Mr. David Appel, CPA and Senior Partner of Marcum LLP.

“It has been a great challenge for many new EB-5 regional centers to secure investment capital, we want to showcase how these investment projects can successfully utilize EB-5 regional center program and attract foreign capital to create local jobs much needed by the communities.” says Brian Su, a leading expert in EB-5 program and Chinese investments.

This year’s Forum is sponsored by TSG Capital Group which is an affiliate of The Solution Group, the premier wholesaler of distressed real estate in South Florida. Through its proprietary, comprehensive and proven TSG Acquisitions Model, TSG Capital Group analyzes specific market segments of the South Florida real estate market and, based on current sales and rental valuations, purchases properties principally through mortgage foreclosure auctions. The properties are rehabilitated, and then either sold at retail to end-users, or rented and then packaged to investors seeking to buy a portfolio of income producing properties. The Solution Group has successfully been implementing this program for over two years and has acquired more than 300 properties. TSG Capital Group, through a debt offering, provides a select group of foreign investors the opportunity to obtain U.S. Permanent Residency through the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program.

Chandler-Gilbert Community College is one of the 10 regionally accredited Maricopa Community Colleges.


Chandler, AZ (PRWEB) March 10, 2012

Chandler-Gilbert Community College was recently named as a finalist in the Second Nature Climate Leadership Awards, which recognizes Innovation and Excellence in Climate Leadership at Signatory Institutions of the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment.

CGCC President, Dr. Linda Lujan credits students, faculty, and staff with the success of the college’s sustainability initiatives.

“We are excited to be named a finalist for this award because it recognizes the innovation and dedication of students, faculty, and staff to our commitment of sustainability,” said Lujan. “As a college we are focused on leading by example, examining the social, economic, and environmental impacts associated with all that we do in order to continually improve our college, empower our students, and strengthen our communities, while minimizing our impact on the environment.”

The college was nominated for implementing initiatives in college operations, instructional activities, outreach, and assessment and research.

Some college operational initiatives include instituting a charter for all new construction to meet minimum LEED Silver certification, purchasing renewable energy from Salt River Project, installing new cooling towers and high efficiency chiller system, retrofitting all light fixtures with electronic ballasts/T8 lamps, retrofitting campus restrooms with waterless urinals saving an estimated 340,000 gallons annually, utilizing reclaimed water on the college’s Pecos Campus, serving all irrigation needs, and committing to a year-long paper reduction campaign committed to reducing paper use by 10 percent.

Instructional initiatives include increasing the number of existing environmental science course offerings and implementing a Sustainability & Ecological Literacy Certificate, incorporating sustainability topics into required orientation sessions for all incoming students, creating learning community courses around sustainability topics, practicing green chemistry in college classrooms, beginning construction of an Environmental Technology Center and Garden – a learning space powered by alternative energy and modeling sustainable building concepts, and demonstrating national leadership for sustainability with presentations at the Institute on Sustainability at Harvard University, League for Innovation Sustainability Institute, Association for Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, and the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development.

Ongoing outreach activities include partnerships with Girl Scouts and elementary schools to engage in sustainable gardening projects, inclusion of sustainability topics in community education courses, a service learning partnership with the Riparian Institute in the Town of Gilbert, and a partnership with local utilities for solar demonstration and CFL light bulbs distribution.

Assessment and research include an employee trip reduction survey with results used to begin formulating reduction strategies, and a transportation study performed by students who worked in partnership with the college’s Institutional Research department.

The Climate Leadership Awards highlight campus innovation and climate leadership to transition society to a clean, just, and sustainable future. Second Nature will announce the winners of the 3rd Annual Climate Leadership Awards at the 6th Annual Climate Leadership Summit of the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) on June 21-22, 2012 in Washington, D.C.
