White House hopeful Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said Sunday that the U.S. is moving toward fascism, stating that corporations are increasingly “running the show” and citizens are being deprived of their liberties.
Paul clarified that he did not refer to the type of fascism that Adolf Hitler practiced in Germany. “We’re not moving toward Hitler-type fascism, but we’re moving toward a softer fascism,” Paul said on NBC’s Meet the Press. “Loss of civil liberties, corporations running the show, big government in bed with big business.”
The lawmaker said the U.S. is moving toward “corporatism.” He also lashed out at a system in which those are criticized as unpatriotic who do not support the war in Iraq or the Patriot Act.

He sounds like the left wing nut roots of MoveOn or Kos...
Ron Paul doesn’t even belong in the Libertarian Party.
Ayn Rand would have kicked his ass. “Corporatism,” indeed.
How do..or who...is giving this nitwit all that
money?? nobody from this site?? JK
Dang! I was hoping Ron Paul could find a party , but not with the Republicans. Wonder where we could place him.
appreciate the pic...good one.
Millions and millions and millions of crumbs!
(its fund-raising baby, money is what he craves, send him some, and he will save your ass and the world, lol)
So are we moving to Mussolini’s or Franco’s Fascism then?
Big Media pressures Congress to change the laws as they see fit but that does not mean that the corporations run our foreign or domestic policy to a significant degree.
I want to know what “softer” fascism is. And no, RP does not belong in the Republican party. He and Dennie the K should get together and form their own party, maybe headquartered in Roswell, NM.
I’ve heard several multimulti millionaires and 2 billionaires who control billions in funds, in the last 4 months tell roundtable discussions that the Federal Reserve no longer controls the money supply. And the Fed itself has admitted so through a few white papers lately. The Fed is flying in London Chicago New York money guys to explain to the Feds senior staff the basics on newer types of credit vehicles.
Now, I don’t think this is what Paul was referring to, but man, when the government doesn’t control the money supply, and are openly admitting it, there are serious institutional problems with the form of governance.
Is it too late to put him in the Donner Party?
Ooh boy are you gonna get it from the Paulies!
LOL!
He’s half right because all the facism comes from the left via democrat allied ratbags like the ACLU, CAIR, PETA, Gore and his global warming Nazis and Clinton appointed judges. The man sounds like a loon.
Country: Paul should be moving toward Thorazine.
Poor Ron.....stuck on stupid and doesn’t recognize it -— nor do his cultists..
with the Nasi’s?
