Another parallel with fascism: California has become, essentially, a one-party state, and it is the leftist fascist party, the Democrats.
It's amazing how people use the word "fascist" with no concept of it's meaning.
I wonder if someone has a link to a question that was posed to some collegians on a theoretical Presidential election.
The one candidate was a member of a militia, supported gun rights, overthrow of an unjust government, etc, etc.
The other candidate banned guns, outlawed the vivisection of animals and was a vegetarian, etc.
They overwhelmingly voted for the vegetarian.
The vegetarian was Adolf Hitler.
The militia men were the founding fathers.
liberals - The first to cry for tolerence, the first to shut you up when you don't agree with them.

I found it, read this, you'll love it!
That Hitler was a vegetarian is a total myth that has been repeated countless times. He was intolerant to certain foods for which his doctors advised him to go on a vegetarian diet. But when not on a diet he relished meat as much as anyone else.
I had a fuzzy recollection of the article, read the link. Whether he was a vegetarian was of little consequence.
I have a family member who is a liberal. One of his favorite sentences is, "People shouldn't be allowed to do that". Insert smoking, driving over 55, owning a knife, etc.
"there may be healthy signs that support for the Bush/Cheney/Ashcroft/Ridge form of fascist state is starting to wane. "
What in the world is this idiot bleating about?
"I wonder if someone has a link to a question that was posed to some collegians on a theoretical Presidential election. "
I wonder if anybody has a copy of the ballot.
If it's of little consequence why would you emphasize 'vegetarian' by using the word three times in three sentences ?
You have a family member who is a budding fascisti.
If relativism signifies contempt for fixed categories and those who claim to be the bearers of objective immortal truth, then there is nothing more relativistic than Fascist attitudes and activity. From the fact that all ideologies are of equal value, we Fascists conclude that we have the right to create our own ideology and to enforce it with all the energy of which we are capable.
I think the author claims too much for this passage. It is in the nature of a rejoinder. He is advancing Fascism as an absolute, and against the objection that there are no absolutes, he is saying that in that case we are advancing our own ideology with all our energy etc.
Cf. THE DOCTRINE OF FASCISM BENITO MUSSOLINI (1932)
"Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal, will of man as a historic entity (11). It is opposed to classical liberalism which arose as a reaction to absolutism and exhausted its historical function when the State became the expression of the conscience and will of the people. Liberalism denied the State in the name of the individual; Fascism reasserts"
I do agree in a general way that the liberalism of today has twisted itself into a totalitarian doctrine, and I would prefer the more general term of "totalitarian" to descibe it. ( Look it up! )
"there may be healthy signs that support for the Bush/Cheney/Ashcroft/Ridge form of fascist state is starting to wane. "
What in the world is this idiot bleating about?

I caught that too, but the quiz is great and I ignored him going off the cliff there. When I first read about this quiz it was only the quiz and the answer. I had to do a lot of googling to find the quiz.
Whether he was a vegetarian was of little consequence.

I found and posted the link to the original quiz, as I told you before I had a fuzzy recollection of what the quiz actually was, I then posted the link to the quiz.
You're quite the stickler, loosen up a little ;)
yep

Since I can be a bit of a stickler myself, I actually used the word vegetarian TWICE. I seem to have struck a nerve with you. I'm not for the vivisection of vegetarians. I have no problem with you if you're a vegetarian. I've known vegetarians, a vegetarian is a friend of mine. Vegetarians are very healthy people, I like to eat at Morton's Steak House and get all those juicy amino acids from a New York Strip, no vegetarians there, but they are welcome.
Wow, I do use the word vegetarian a lot, don't I? My bad.
