One statement that the author made that was misleading is that Mussolini offered the Italians the same promises that Roosevelt was making here, in the US. Roosevelt studied Musolini's reforms, not the other way around.
Ann Coulter discusses in her new book that the way Reagan beat communism was to reignite the fire of religious morality and God given freedom in the United States. This is what the left fear most of all because you cannot subjugate a people who answer to a higher power than the state.

"Roosevelt studied Musolini's reforms..."
I always thought that FDR was fascist-lite, with his WPA, War powers acts, internment of belligent aliens, rationing, progressive taxes....

"This is what the left fear most of all because you cannot subjugate a people who answer to a higher power than the state." Which is, of course, the reason for all the recent attacks on our predominantly Christian beliefs.
