Whoaaaa—Hedgetrimmer. If you’re telling me the Pubbie Party supports fascism I’d appreciate some specifics. Or do you equate conservatism with fascism?
My regard for RNC is low. But to my knowledge no one at that level supports anything other than democracy. Pubbies, even us conservatives, support no “ism” The only party that supports an “ism” is the Democrat Party.
The beauty of our constitution is that it is built on the belief that no one person or entity can ever have all the answers forever. That is exactly why so much flexibility and conflict—as in between the three branches of government—was built into the document. We are not supposed to “all just get along”. Tension and conflict are part of the human condition. This is what guarantees that no single group becomes paramount.
Our Constitution guarantees the protection of our inalienable rights. These rights come from God, not some two bit politician or government. That is the reason dem party leadership hates religion. It wants people to worship the government—their communist government.
Look, if you haven’t noticed the republican party became the democrat party a few years ago, with all the democrats changing parties...Arnold Schwarzenegger a premiere example of democrat agenda in republican clothing, you remember don’t you?
No I don’t equate conservatism with fascism. I was careful to accurately describe what has happened to our political system as corporatist fascism and both parties practice it at this time. Conservatives conserve, like the Constitution, correct? What we are seeing is the wholesale destruction of our political system and the American culture with the open borders globalist mentality at play in the current set of elected politicians. There is nothing conservative about what they are doing.
Our Constitution is beautiful, but citizens have abdicated their responsibility to the political parties (no freedom loving American would put up a Marxist globalist or an open borders globalist), yet the candidates the parties are offering show that citizens are no longer in control.
If also you have been observing the executive branch, you’ll have noticed a trend of consolidation of power to the executive. This has upset the balance of power between the three branches. I have to admit the judiciary has been successful in grasping some additional power itself, Congress on the other hand, has happily signed away it’s authority to global trade organizations like the WTO, global subsidiary councils of the UN like the codex alimentarius and so on ad nauseum. Since the people elect the congress and the president, but not the judiciary or the officials in the cabinet or federal government bureaucracies we have seen a net loss in our authority. I am hard pressed to find many citizens who care, most just ‘vote for the lesser evils’ and then forgedaboutit.
Globalization as it is in force today, is a form of fascism The global corporations control the agenda and form policies for policies individual governments to implement. Most of the fast track border policies, the law that Americans need to have passports to visit Canada or Mexico recently implemented, are both examples of global corporations setting policy in America. I might also add the H1B visas program which keeps getting expanded due to WTO trade negotiations and “free trade” agreements between India and formerly American corporations doing business with Indian workers. Congress, like a bunch of automatons, just keeps increasing the visas, no matter what the American people say.
Also, just to emphasize how corrupt our government has become, the public /private partnerships being touted as a way to maintain American infrastructure, is also fascism, government colluding with business to guarantee income to the chosen business, and business becoming a ‘partner’ with government and therefore securing more control over government officials that individual citizens could ever achieve. We no longer have a constitutional government when business and government are ‘partners’.
