When liberals start calling a fascist or neocon, you can be reasonably assured that they have no clue what the definition is of either.

A conundrum. I despise the RINO Romney, give away 20 billion in tax dollars this week to the auto industry, pander, flip-flop, etc. etc.

National Review endorsed him.

But I have a lifelong academic interest in fascism and considered writing a similar book. Now . . .

Do I buy the book?

Fascism is undeniably collectivist. It is a leftwing phenomenon. I’m planning on picking up this book.

That's the operant term: collectivist.

Communists, Fascists, Socialists.

I’m about 3 chapters into it. I strongly recommend it. Probably one of the most important conservative books in the past decade.

Absolutely. You will need to cite it in your book.

True.......it’s the inescapable future, the inevitable end for humanity, before the “end”; actually, it’ll make the ultimate “end” more palatable.

I concur - I am about 4 chapters in. On page 410 is the platform of the National Socialist party of Germany in 1930's. Reads like the Democratic Platform of today!

Glenn Beck interviewed Goldberg on his radio show yesterday, and Beck highly recommends the book.

I plan to order one this week.

This is the one dozenth thread on this, something we already knew about before the book was published.

And I’m tired of being called short.
From now on I’m going to call NBA players short.
Like Midget Michael Jordan.

There...now Jonah and I both feel better.

In a related story.....

Heard a historian say the other day that the term “Islamofascism” is not so good because Islamist Jihad is so much worse than fascism.
