      When Fascism comes to America, it will disguise itself as anti-Fascism.

      That's why Glenn Beck keeps repeating that Obama is a Fascist/Nazi, although its Glenn Beck that says that Muslims should be shipped to concentration camps.

      Didn't our steel bending grandparents use all of those big government New Deal programs the last time the right pulled their red scare shtick?

      Glenn,

      I don't think that fascism means what you think that it means. Actually, what you think fascism means isn't even close to what it really means.

      Fascism is defined as: a political theory advocating an authoritarian hierarchical government (as opposed to democracy or liberalism)

      Tell me how, and where our current government is in any way, shape, or form an authoritarian government? If you're talking about the federal government having a say as to how our tax money is being used, I'm not such a proponent of that. It's not authoritarian.

      You guys and your stupid nanny state talking points. How outraged were you that the federal government was wiretapping US citizens during the Bush administration? How outraged were you when federal law enforcement agencies were spying on liberal protest groups? How outraged were you when the Bush administration proposed martial law in the US post 9/11?

      We were a lot closer to fascism 3-4 months ago than we are now.
