Let’s come up with a cutesy new name for it.

Yes, 'fascism' is so 20th century.

The American Left and American business are a whole lot closer than people realize.

*********
I agree, there is an incestuous relationship. My theory is that the Left wants political contributions from business in exchange for an ability to influence TPTB and receive favorable treatment in return. The Left gets their money for political campaigns and business remains free to do its thing, often with government help. A nice quid pro quo for each party but destructive to the nation as a whole.

Maybe if we tell everyone using our best George Will voice
“The American people are tired of extremist on both sides. The American people are hungry for a moderate”, we can fool them into believing fascism, I’m sorry, The Third Way, is something new, it’s fresh, it’s exciting.

Businesses hate competition, that’s why they want to run to government, to put up barriers to their competition. They aren’t interested in a free market economy.

...the Tea Party. Because they fear it.

Terrified.

Business people are increasingly fed up with the activist wing of the Republican Party. It's a trend that will have broad implications for next year's midterm elections and the presidential race in 2016, political experts say.

Its a false narrative being spread by leftists. They are doing anything and everything they can think of to disparage the Tea Party. The only "business" people possibly opposed to the Tea Party are government-connected crony-capitalists such as Wall Street and green energy

""Some heavy-hitting past GOP contributors switched to support the Democratic nominee, in part out of concern that a tea party-backed Gov. Cuccinelli would result in boycotts of the state and refusals by certain businesses to locate here,"...

Holy Cow! That's the reason? Pre-emptive surrender is the answer. You give into thug tactics in the hope that they'll eat you last. Recipe for failure, the fools.

So the puppetmasters finally lash out, seeing as how their political lackeys can’t seem to put down this slave rebellion. If these corporate donors who play left off of right to essentially buy legislation, then we need to target them, along with their democrat and republican puppets. You can’t buy your way out from under the constitution, or the rule of law.

TEA Party to crony capitalists... FOAD!

Roger that.

Welfare for unmarried women who churn out little uneducated bastard Democrat voters, and welfare for corporations are both socialism, and are both just as bad for our country.

In practical terms, what is the difference between crony capitalists and marxists?

I couldn’t think of any differences either.

Exactly. Most of these so called businessmen couldn’t successfully start and run a lemonade stand. That’s why they push papers for a living.

If you want to know what frightens your enemy, listen to how they try to frighten you. If you want to learn an enemy's weakness, study their boasts, particularly of their capacity for evil.

This old "Main Street" GOP is desperation on the part of bundlers, people who make their living raising money. Take careful note of the fact Bobbie did not come to the aid of the person the association she contracts for endorsed.

We're hearing sabre rattling from people who are plagued with uncertainty and the social imbecility of our age.

We are at war, and this person's personal embarrassment at being in the uncomfortable position of having to be an apologist for unashamed Americanism, of patriotism, of Christian attitudes puts her out to pasture.

All the positions requiring her skills in Democrat circles are filled. And there are a lot of farm league professionals engaged in rent-seeking among Republicans. The best counter to this threat is to become a money-raiser ourselves. And these threats are mostly aimed at politicians, most of whom would rather die than ask for money.

Sorry, it’s a factual narrative being pushed by the leftists. Everybody knows the Dem game plan is to divide the GOP. Yet liberals in the GOP continue to attack conservatives.

You are aiming your fire at the wrong target. It should be directed at the liberal “Rupublicans” carrying the Dems water. Or at the Chamber of Commerce who donated ZERO to Cuccenelli in VA because he wouldn’t play ball on some pork projects. Those are facts on the ground and not leftist agitprop.

The GOP establishment is taking their ball home when they don’t get what they want. Call them on it instead of blaming the Dems for the GOP’s problems.
