>> Yes, yes, the CPAC crowd is the extreme of the extreme
You do realize that the reason Huckabee was rejected by the Republican party in '08 is because he was considered a liberal, right?
Indeed, I suspect that if a prominent Democratic office holder, in 2005, delivered a speech referring to George W. Bush's agenda as "fascism," comparing his administration to totalitarian regimes, and casually throwing in a reference to Hitler, that Democrat would have a very difficult time being taken seriously by the political establishment moving forward. Presidential ambitions would be largely out of the question.
What, exactly, are you complaining about? I believe Huckabee's remarks were right on target. We are no longer capitalists. We have elected a socialist government. Huckabee is just pointing this [rather obvious] fact out.
This new America *DOES* have the makings of a fascist regime. While liberals have long associated fascism with the Right, most simply do not understand the core constituents of fascism. When one looks analytically at what makes fascism tick, the concepts of liberalism LEAP out at you.
It may be stopped yet, but it is hard to see how. Obama is trying to get this done before the American People know what hit them (this is similar to what happened under FDR; ER has clearly stated that FDR knew he had only a few months worth of political capital in which he could shove the New Deal down American's throats; one must assume that Obama has the same awareness -- FDR's experience, was, of course, the origin of hte concept of a "first hundred days").
Americans may wake up and understand that Obama is ramming a socialist agenda down their throats, and if a fascist dictatorship is in the cards, they may wake up to that, too. This is where the liberal media has dropped the ball -- it was their job to protect America from this kind of destruction, but the Framers never considered, apparently, that an entire industry (like news reporting or Hollywood) could be corrupted by liberalism, and that's what happened. Even the so-called liberal reporters (David Brooks, for example) are now extremist liberals.
It isn't over but it is getting close. |
