"We need a U.S. Franco to sweep away the liberal fascist vermin and their s**t."

I'm slightly confused. Do you mean General Franco as in the Spanish civil war General Franco?

Because I don't think our own version of the Spanish civil war is the cure for what ails us...communists versus (Franco-led) fascists...not much of a choice.

History has been unfair to Franco. He has been pigeon-holed as a fascist by the tenured Marxists who dominate “higher education.”

Franco stopped a Communist revolution. Lamentably, given the unique circumstances of the 1930s, he also had no choice but to make an accommodation with Hitler. This was a pragmatic decision to protect a modicum of independence for Spain.

In the end, Franco stamped out Communism. Was he, at times, brutal? Undoubtedly. But sometimes you have to be brutal when stamping out an inhuman internal enemy—precisely what we’re facing in this country.
