For his excellent service, we get the vitriol of slander from a fascist left and right in this country who are more than certain that this President is no patriot.

It was bad enough to be accused of "not wanting to do what's right for America." So now I'm a fascist, too?

One thing is for sure. You guys certainly can't be accused of pandering to your base.

I think a discussion of fascism may be in order.

To me fascism is a political definition of external annihilation. When a political philosophy cannot be without defininig others out of existence then it is fascist.

A person can hold a political view without requiring immediate surrender of capacities to disagree.

The reactionary nature of the immigration bill debate seems highly indicative.

No one may defend the immigration bill. It is amnesty and it is absolutely wrong.

There are some — perhaps you as well— who allow debate on the immigration bill merits. I see little opportunity to debate. Consequently, I see fascism.

I think there are clearly aspects of the immigration bill which increase enforcement. To even bring this up is seen as outrageous.
