rching the slow erosion of of our Republic and rights over the past 30 years an the transformation of Conservatism from a principled stand against intrusive government to one of perpetual war abroad and police state establishment at home has made me adk the question above, especially after seeing the wailing and gnashing of teeth exhibited when a Conservative Chief Justice ruled in favor of the Conservative-generated Affordable Care Act.

"Fascism should be more appropriately called Corporatism since it is the converence of State and Corporate Power."---Benito Mussolini, founder of Modern Fascism

    About half of your "early warning signs" don't apply to classic fascists like Hitler and Stalin. The other half are already associated with Obama.

    Thanks for the warning, but it's later than you think.

    So...where are all the examples of conservatives taking your freedom and f....king up your life, because I can give you endless examples of the left behaving very much like the Third Reich.

    You apparently forget who's running the show right now. Benito Mussolini had nothing on this guy.

    I checked on that answer because you left very little choice. You so-called liberals seem to accept everything you disdain, while your man is in office. Open your eyes to what's really going on and understand, you've been lied to by a con man. That doesn't mean the other side is any better. I think you're looking at "two sides of the same coin".

    Dude! Why do you think I call it a BI-Partisan Fascist Tyranny? As for my answer choices, I guess that makes my poll no better than 80+% of conservative questions on sodahead. Of course, I HAVE written an idea on how to change that once and for all here:

    But it stands a snowball's chance in Hell of being adopted. Still, I can DREAM, can't I?

    I didn't. I consider BOTH parties equally corrupt. The KEY question is, What is the Remedy? Instead of Bitching, moaning and whining about it, I actually wrote an article that would address the problem and SOLVE it once and for all here:

    http://www.boilingfrogspost.c...

    As of this writing, I have yet to hear any response to that piece.

    Nicely worded! Today's conservatism is indeed fascism. I've known that for a while now. I wish someone in the media would finally call them out on it. They don't even have any idea of what fascism is or that they are espousing it.

    Considering the fact that Fascists OWN the media, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for THAT to happen. Besides, that would mean investigative journalists would actually have to INVESTIGATE instead of playing one on TV.

    Sinclair Lewis was a flaming socialist pig. Now...give us alllll the examples of the conservatives taking away your liberties. You really should study history and tyrants...the Left in this country follows the path completely, and when they get enough power they will start to become even more violent and murderous than their attitudes already are.

    Foolish choices. Actually modern Conservatism is a tiny minority. What you think of as Conservatism really IS Fascism. It's the other half of the Progressive bitch-slap machine set up by the DemoPublicans to break the American People. Dems say to the People, "you're too stupid and weak to care for yourselves. Let us put these golden chains on your hands and feet, and we will care for you forever more." Reps say "Those damned Dems are trying to enslave you! We'll stop them!!! Just look the other way as we take our payments from the banksters who are raping you."
