Obama is a fascist, just for the reasons noted. That said, I describe him as a socialist, not as a fascist, because so few people understand what a fascist actually is.
“so few people understand what a fascist actually is.”
It always bothers me when todays leftists (who are facist) call conservatives like Reagan and Goldwater fascists. If a person is not a socialist and believes in free market capitalism that person cannot be fascist. What I hate most about the elitists of the left is how arrogant and ignorant they are.
You're right. "Fascist" packs no punch in our time. If you tell someone that Hitler was a Fascist, they're likely to retort that Obama doesn't want to kill Jews.
