Yes, the American Liberal has been brainwashed in our school system that Fascism always comes from the Right!

In point of fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

Past is Prologue

......and as the future unfolds, this will be made abundantly clear but alas, it will be too late....................

Justin,
 

Make up your mind. Are liberals Fascists or socialists?

As a centrist I have fear that the Devil will control America disguised as a right wing evangelical preacher.

But maybe I worry to much.

rosy

(ref to jason?)

they are bofe (as Dennis Rodman would impart)

the key is

CONTROL!

como esta frijole BTW?

NDak?

Minot?

Launch Control Facilities? (old Minuteman)

You may not be able to understand the concept of Liberal Fascism Rosy,

Any more than the average garden variety liberal cannot fathom the concept of their similarity to the average cracker rumpot sitting in his trailer with his 350 lb. bride gathering together enough jack to send to Jimmy Swaggart -- as they bow to the alter of the almighty Obama!

It is hilarious really! They think they are so intellectual, and they are more like the 700 Club than they will ever dare to even contemplate!

It's killer! Love it!

Justin,

I understand it resides only in your tiny little mind. <:)

But Theocratic Dictatorships are reality in the world today. Huck-a-bugger had dreams of being the American savior.

 The best ticket, as far as I'm concerned, would be McCain/Huckabee.  There's nothing grandiose about Huckabee.  He had no such American savior delusion.

you changed jason to justin thus invalidating that part of my comment

but I kinda like rosy

it fits

given your outlook on life

and comprehension acumen

I would like to see JC Watts or Michael Steele run with McCain!

Huey Long reportedly said that if Fascism comes to America it will be called "anti-Fascism."

So the people we really need to worry about are the people who are against fascism and we should be ok with the people who kinda like fascism because that would be too obvious?

I think that's too clever by half.

In truth, one of the big things left out of Goldburg's column was that the poor economy was deemed to be the fault of the untermensch, though the term wasn't used in the early years.  He also missed the part about how Nazism was disguised as a Christian movement which was a big part of the appeal for certain segments of society.

Somehow Tom your comments put me in mind of the Liberal Elitists who think with religious conviction they are "intellectuals" when they fall for an Obama. They call everyone bigots because it is an easy cheap shot when in reality they are no different than the 90 IQ cracker sitting in his trailer with his 350 pound bride scraping together enough dinero to ship off to Jimmy Swaggart or Jim Baker.

Of course they will never intellectually cop to this as their elitism and reluctance to embrace reality runs so deep they cannot see let alone accept their similarity to the 700 Club! 

Thanks for the good chuckle

Goldberg is Coulter in a man suit. As TomW correctly points out, fascism springs from economic chaos and the drive for quick solutions to complex problems. Fascism needs scapegoats, and there are many here in the USA who are very eager to single those disenfranchised and reviled out to an eager public drilled to conformity. Glad to see you, Chico, using all those language identifiers of scapegoating on this post. Somehow there is a reluctance by conservatives to point out their own intellectual elites. Neo-conservatism did not spring from a third grade playground activity, although the consequences surely have been about as intended as a third grade plan.

Regarding bigotry, you're either for equal opportunity under the law, or you are not. You either work for greater participation and inclusion in the process for all, or you don't.  You either think all people have a right to their beliefs, or you don't. And if a whole bunch of people continue to find what you imply, or state, racially offensive you might want to examine the words you use a little more closely.   

Goldberg's affectionately known on the Internets as "Doughy Pantload."  His mommy got him the job.

TANSTAAFL

Some confuse  "being offended" with being just shown for what they are BTW

That's quite the socialist agenda you're putting forth there, Cheek.  Any candidates actually advocating that aside from McCain?

bail out of saving & loans during the 80s? bail out of the airlines in 2001? Huge tax breaks for CEOs and Corps, Allowing Energy/Bank corps to right federal law and policies.

both of yours RF

you must not listen to them

guess you're smarter than I thought

Chico, *YOU* don't listen to them.   Clinton proposed--more as a trial balloon than as policy--*ONE* of those (the savings-bond-to-every-new-kid one).

.

McCain was a Keating Kid, remember, and he's for amnesty (or was that *LAST* week?)  Plus he's been documented as having belonged to the world's largest socialist organization, something neither of the Democratic candidates has been.

.

The guy who coined "TANSTAAFL" also proposed *LOTS* of "socialist" ideas.  You should read his first novel sometime, it was just published a few years back.   He even supported Upton Sinclair's run for California governor.

read him

some time ago

but I always thought it was Frank Falero

at CSUB.... LOL!

Linguistically speaking, I'm facinated by the monikers that are adopted in our society, especially how adjectives modify words.  Liberal elitist is a good starting point.  It implies that without the modifier that regular elitists are conservative.  The opposite is true of a term like Conservtive Christian where the implication is that regular Christians are liberal.

This is absolutely true historically, though conservative and liberal certainly don't mean what they once did and to many people they mean nothing more than a dirty epithet to hurl a political opponents like a monkey flinging poo.

I always liked "nattering nabobs of negativism" and "effete intellectual snobs," myself.

Ah, they don't make *LITERATE* Republican crooks anymore.  Just the usual kind.
