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

    You always have such great words of wisdom.

    Keeping it low so to speak ... getting tired of the attacks from the libs and neocons. Other than that all is well. :-)

    Good to see you too my friend.

    They both advocate a merger of industry and government that exists solely to serve the industry (all this talk about "class warfare" and "job creators").

    They both want to abolish unions and the right to collective bargaining.

    They both spew propaganda against minorities (communists/socialists, jews then, communists/socialists, gays, muslims, immigrants/hispanics now).

    They both heavily reference tradition, conservative "values", and christianity.

    They both are extremely nationalistic and outright national chauvinistic.

    They both are extremely militaristic.

    They both created concentration camps.

    They are fascist.

    The only differences are that they have not yet grabbed absolute power and have not yet started mass murder and genocide.

    There taking my constitution away! I'm being assaulted! That's probably the last time I get an income tax return, because I refuse to purchase another tax for other peoples "health". You must understand, there are people who, through Vitamin and high mineral intake, never get sick. These 20-40yr old people now become the base that are financially taxed, and since less services are used by them they are the unfair supporters of all of it.

    All to a system that publicly stated they will pull granny's plug. Look up how in Britain over 130,000 are euthanized every year. Or how Mussolini said that Fascism is the merger of Corporate and State. What better example is this Health care bill, we are forced to purchase something!!!!

    Not a tax collected by the "government", but a forced, continuous transaction with a private institution FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!

    One of the biggest thefts in our history. Admitted that it will pull 500 Billion from Medicare, but does it offer a reduction in the Medicare taxes that are taken every pay check?? No. It adds a whole new tax, on the poorest of the populous and removed truly free charity care.

    Just for kicks everybody make sure they look up Fascism in Wikipedia... Of course it's not a direct match but there were more similarities than I expected...'promoting political violence and war' rang particularly true. Notwithstanding some of the other similarities 'outlawing strikes', etc... Fascism also had a good many mismatches to conservatives although I'm not sure who those mismatches might be most offensive to..

    Thanks, BigFig. That's why i included the appropriate quote from Mussolini in the body of the question. I also left them NO answer to disagree on since that's what they ALWAYS DO.

    Anyone over the age of 30 has watched ALL these early signs unfold before our very eyes. It is downright scary watching them turn into frothing, rabid zombies, bent on the destruction of everything that has ever made this country great.

    Ahh, yes. Armageddon, the conservative self-fulfilling Prophecy. My question to them is,

    What happens when you START World War 3 and Jesus DOESN'T SHOW?

    While I take biblical prophesy very seriously a number of things haven't taken place yet to usher in Armageddon.

    They'd probably do like those doomsday 'prophets' who predict an exact date for the end of the world. When the day comes & goes, they come up with some lame brain excuse for it--then come up with another date LOL!

    I always ask them why they aren't over in Afghanistan and Pakistan DNA testing the Pashtun for Israelite genetic markers so the lost tribes can claim the Right Of Return under Israeli law and actually FULFILL Biblical Prophecy.
