Paul: US inching toward 'soft fascism'

PressTV ^

"We're not moving toward Hitler-type fascism, but we're moving toward a softer fascism," said the 10-term Texas congressman Sunday.

Speaking on PBS Sunday, the presidential candidate affirmed that the American people are giving up their rights and privacy, 'all in the name of safety and security'.

"Loss of civil liberties, corporations running the show, big government in bed with big business," said Paul of the downhill situation that awaits Americans.

"So you have the military-industrial complex, you have the medical-industrial complex, you have the financial industry, you have the communications industry. That's where the control is," the libertarian-leaning politician explained.

The Texan concluded that what is happening will be very 'dangerous' as the situation is getting to a point that 'is hard to reverse'.

Paul, who ended up fifth in the Iowa caucus last week with 10 percent of the votes, is becoming immensely popularity among the American youth as well as the educated elite.

Funny how liberals decry giving up rights yet they argue against out RKBA all the time.

[pissant]

Any time someone brings up the “Military Industrial Complex”, that means he is a ignorant liberal.

[taxcontrol]

Why does the opinion of a Texas Democrat matter to anyone?

“So you have the military-industrial complex, you have the medical-industrial complex, you have the financial industry, you have the communications industry. That’s where the control is,”

Don’t forget the “Criminal/Industrial Complex” (Law enforcement and incarceration industry, which supports the wars on drugs, guns, property rights, etc.)

I always find it interesting who different groups and people see as the enemy. My inlaws say the same thing. They think Cheney is worse than Osama (who they think is a tool of the US) and that he is running a shadow government controlled by corporations...

Any time someone brings up the “Military Industrial Complex”, that means he is a ignorant liberal.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower was an ignorant liberal?

Any time someone brings up the “Military Industrial Complex”, that means he is a ignorant liberal. Eisenhower was an ignorant liberal?? You can do better than that pissant.

[Constitution Day]

Dwight Eisenhower coined that phrase...I’m just saying.

I am NOT a Paul fan.

"Paul: US inching toward 'soft fascism'"

Ron Paul barreling towards insanity.

[Steve_Seattle]

Yes, we have a military. Yes, we have telecommunications companies. Yes, we have news media. Yes, we have drug companies. Yes, we have financial institutions. What was his point? That somehow he can create a world where these things don't exist?

The closest thing I've seen to fascism lately is Paul's supporters chasing Sean Hannity down the street as he was going to dinner. They looked and sounded like brownshirts.

[swain_forkbeard]

“...running a shadow government controlled by corporations.”

And you don’t think that? Ever hear of K street?

[ninonitti]

President Dwight D. Eisenhower was an ignorant liberal?

What an inconvenient fact

[elhombrelibre]

Yes, Eisenhower was the first to state it, and Liberals made the construct theirs. The fact that you say “Eisenhower” and that few here will know he made the first speech using that phrase and warning will show that the phrase resonates with Liberals, not conservatives. Which also begs the question of what was the Military Industrial Complex before Eisenhower called it that? I'd say it was the aresnal of democracy.

[RockinRight]

Sounds more like Kucinich than any conservative.

[rineaux]

You win.

[mnehring]

Do tell us more, enlighten us. I was just making a comment of what they believe, but apparently you know more?

[telstar1]

.....don’t forget the Educational-Industrial Complex....

[Jack of all Trades]

Ron Paul adopts the Democrat’s act of the Pratt fall off the turnip truck. Continual feigned shock and indignation at decades old, intractable problems is getting really really old. Problem is, it seems to work.
