I’m not a Ron Paul fan but I agree completely with his statement. We are fast turning into the United Socialist States of America Inc. if not already there.
I agree that we're going in that direction. That doesn't seem to be a problem for some here, apparently. Perhaps it's the word 'fascism' that throws people off here. If he would've said socialism, then I don't see how anyone could disagree with that.
I think the problem is, many people on both sides, conservatives and liberals, are still stuck in the idea that it's all about Democrat vs Republican, or left vs right... when the reality is, the new political paradigm is more like up vs down. What I have been saying for years is that there are globalists who are in both major parties, and these people are taking us towards something that will be bad for everyone.
I think people here are getting all bent out of shape, but we're really arguing about semantics. Whether it's socialism, fascism, or any type of unfree system... we can divide it into 2 groups - collectivists and people who believe in individual rights. We are heading in the wrong direction, away from individual rights. That's the point. Whether it's fascism or socialism-corporatism, or whatever you want to call it, we should be vigilant.
Remember the quote when someone asked what type of government we have... and the answer was, "A republic, if you can keep it." We're getting to the point where we're not keeping it. Some here may disagree, but to bash someone so vehemently who cares about protecting our freedom, and constitution and rights is downright surreal to me, and it's ugly and sad.
