I’m not sure what it is. All I know is that real fascists—and real communists for that matter—wouldn’t tolerate this same-sex marriage nonsense like what just happened in Iowa. Maybe we are sinking into something worse.

Another writer sees the light

FASCISM is becoming the topic du jours

It is what has been occurring before us as first Bush43 then stooge obama choose (or have chosen on their behalf) unelected reps like Paulsen and Geithner as front men

then the frontmen intimidate the US congress into giving them massive an unaccountable funds to use to force scared private businesses into ostensibly benevolent “partnerships” (remember reports Paulson threatened to surround the uS Capitol with force to prevent Congress leaving unless Congress signed the TARP?)

then the frontmen (aka “the govt”) take over running the private businesses’ operations

Neither do Islamists.

Homosexual activists will be truly surprised when they realize what disposable tools they've been.

His comments on Goldberg’s book are completely accurate. That was one of the things I liked about it - Goldberg simply gave you the meanings and definitions as explained by those who came up with the ideologies and lived by them and then lets the reader see how obvious it really is...

Hitler and some of his minions were big animal rights people and had a lot of idiosyncratic beliefs that are in sync with much of what our “left” spouts. It was very eye-opening.

If Ann Arbor is any indication I would say yes.

Ann Arbor area smokers shocked by price hikes as new tobacco taxes take effect

But it's for their own good so it's OK.

Hitler had no problem using homosexuals to achieve his goals.

That's ridiculous. Islamic extremists kill homosexuals...we just rebuke them and watch them parade around in SFS is silly get-ups.

That’s an interesting point.

Both the NAZIs and the communists went after homosexuals because they were emobodiements of decadence. The NAZIs had “Mercy wagons” that hauled off children with birth defects, chronic bed wetters, etc. etc. and euthanized them along with homosexuals and gypsies who were similarly determined to be “defectives.” They had a slogan to describe their program: Lebensunwertes Leben (Life Unworthy of Life).

The History Channel had a program documenting that the SA that Hitler used to rise to power was practically a homosexual organization. And MANY homosexuals have been pro-communist. But they were disposable (Hitler annhiliated them in the Night of the Long Knives). They were the embodiement of the term “useful idiots.”

Jonah Goldberg discussed fascism as a phenomena that - while sharing commonalities - took on a different face in every culture that embraced it. He contrasted Italian fascism from German fascism, for example, and discussed how American fascism would be a different species from either.

Fascism IS fundamentally intolerant, and WILL be intolerant in the US just as it was in NAZI Germany. The only question becomes, “Who will American fascism be intolerant of?”

Not to belie the Authors underlying point too badly, but this quote:

“First of all, socialism, communism and fascism are kissing cousins, intimately related to one another. “

Is painful to read as a history scholar and not even remotely accurate as 31 Million Dead on the WWII European Eastern Front will attest.

Let’s keep our argument to the facts please, they’re on our side. Now is not the time for our side to be producing sound-bytes which can be used to incorrectly paint the entire Conservative Movement as “Ignorant of History.” This quote certainly could qualify.

—Hitler had no problem using homosexuals to achieve his goals.—

Until the Night of the Long Knives, when he purged the queer-dominated SA. After that, they were given striped pajamas with a pink triangle sewn on them and shipped off to “camp.”

liberals insist that we need to “get beyond politics” and “put ideological differences behind us” in order to “do the people’s business.” The experts and scientists know what to do, we are told; therefore the time for debate is over.

Yet, the left will pride themselves on:

1) open-mindedness( unless one disagrees then it’s hate speech)

2) celebrating diversity( capitalists and Christians not included)

3) engaging in civil debate( do as we say and not as we do)

4) possessing progressive ideas( economic equal outcomes = fairness)

5) personal privacy (unless it’s gov’t seizing of ones wealth)

6) free choices( as long as the state is providing the choices)

I encourage all here to read Goldberg's book. It's scary to read that and understand how close the USA came to fascism itself in the first half of the 20th century.

I will also never look at Teddy Roosevelt with the same admiration again. He was a "progressive" himself.

I also never knew how many things we think of as patriotic in the USA actually started as a means to lead us to fascism. The worship of the state over the individual.
