Thank goodness someone of import has finally said it!
For months now I’ve been trying to get folks in politics, the media and the public to stop calling the bailouts “socialism” because it isn’t socialism. It is most assuredly economic fascism.
I first wrote about the difference in the political philosophies here.
I wrote about my conversation on the issue with Fred Smith of the Competitive Enterprise Institute here.
Ron Paul was again a tremendous speaker at CPAC and as usual he gave a speech laced with intelligent point after point.
Let someone else write about the rest of it.
To me the most important part of Congressman Paul’s speech was the recognition of President Obama’s fascist power grab.
From the nationalization of Citi Group to centering power in the Whitehouse by politicizing the Census to using American taxes to kill unborn babies around the world, Obama’s policies are more Mussolini than Lenin.
Cool post. I've been trying to convince all of my conservative friends we are dealing with Fascism, not Socialism. One example was Hillary's health care plan that made everyone buy a corporate health insurance policy (same as Mitt Romney's plan) http://alternativeconservative.com/2008/03/24/hillary-fascist-health-care That's not Socialism, it's Fascism.
The cool thing is if we could get everyone to identify what's going on as Fascism, we should be able to unite liberals and conservatives because liberals hate Fascism. Conservatives are making a big mistake by telling libs the bail outs aresocialism instead of fascism because that makes libs thing they're getting just what they want.
We need to point out the hand of corporate corruption and lobbyists. The problem is I get the impression some Republicans think that's okay.
