Great, quoting uber-liberal Sinclair Lewis. Wrap that tinfoil on a little tighter, Ronnie.

[WakeUpAndVote]

I feel a purge coming on.............

Peel away the layers of a liberal, and it won’t take long to reveal someone who has real issues with God.

When insanity comes, it’ll be towing a blimp and asking for money.

I was about to post so I’ll just add the transcript:

STEVE DOOCY: Mike Huckabee has started running an ad in Iowa, where you’re at right now, also in New Hampshire and South Carolina, and in the back, it’s a windowpane but it also looks a lot like a cross. And, and, we had a guest a little while ago who said it was inappropriate to be using religion for political purposes. Congressman, I’m just curious what you think?

RON PAUL: Well, I haven’t thought about it completely, but you know, it reminds me of what Sinclair, uh, Lewis once said, he said ‘when Fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross.’ I don’t know whether that’s a fair assessment or not, but you wonder about using a cross like he is the only Christian, or implying that subtly. So, uh, I don’t think I would ever use anything like that.

DOOCY: So, uh, Congressm— you know, uh, Governor Huckabee is not selling fascism. He’s — simply sending out a Christmas message, anyway, just curious how you felt about that. Congressman, if you would sit right there in Des Moines just for a moment, we’re going to take a quick time out...

Just like fascism has come everywhere else it took root....../sarcasm

This guy is truly nuts.

This is going to be fun...

What will fascism be wrapped in if/when it comes?

Ron Paul’s idea of foreign policy would give actual fascism free rein in today’s world.

What will fascism be wrapped in if/when it comes?

In the past, it has wrapped itself in a rebellion or 'revolution' against the existing powers.

Well, well, well. Patriotism and Christianity are bad now. His point, I hope, is that the appearance of good will seduce us to evil. That said, is this type of fascism what we have to be concerned about in 2008? It seems to me that the fascism that is rising is a globalist and athiestic/materialist idealism . . . not one race but one elite that will ultimately have absolute power. Patriotism and Christianity will be forces opposing this, not helping it.

[Realm Weekly]

Ridiculous...

Just added another reason why I can’t support Ron Paul.

[GOPJ]

Ron Paul’s a nutty version of Ross Perot.

[Antoninus]

Good to see this moron self-destructing. He’s been the pied piper for too many good conservatives who disagree with the war.

[andy58-in-nh]

As opposed to wrapped in tinfoil and carrying a grudge.
