You seem to agree with the Left. They say Giuliani is a budding fascist.

This is a pathetic defense. The left hates everyone to the right of them, no matter how small the substantive differences really are.

He is no fascist.

The hell he's not. Virtually all of his policies reflect the kind of state control specifically exerted by Italian fascists in the 1930s, and were sold with similar justification, principally public safety and order.

Ronald Reagan believed in people possessing the ability to defend themselves. Giuliani wants the police to have that exclusive power while disarming the citizenry, nor is he shy about trampling the Constitution to get there. The two are miles apart.

You miss the point. Reagan was seen as a would-be dictator by the Left. His law and order policies were called fascist by the Left. When he became President, I heard Liberals say that he would set up concentration camps for anyone who opposed him. The same kinds of ridiculous and hysterical claims are being made about Giuliani. In the 8 years that he was my Mayor, I never feared that he would violate my rights in the way you seem to say. I don't believe in gun control at all. He's wrong about that issue. But, that doesn't mean he's like Hitler.

Reagan was all FOR the BRADY BILL.

Rudy did NOTHING "fascistic" as mayor.

Just throwing words around and ignoring facts, as you have, doesn't do anything to help your positions.
