"No it isn't."

Sure it is. The framers of the Constitution never intended for the President to have all encompassing powers. The powers were limited, intentionally. Just read the Federalist Papers.

But, focusing power and control in the Leader is very fascist. Not exclusively, of course. But when combined with the other aspects, it is.

"I don't think either Longshort's or Coulter's most extreme statements are meant entirely seriously."

I wasn't talking about the extreme statements. Again, the general theme of a community in decline, victim-hood of whites, etc. are all there. Or are you claiming that they are also exaggerating those themes also?

"Doesn't sound like either of them to me."

Then you haven't been paying attention.

They often call for the suppression of "liberals" and other groups. And force is often advocated. And if you think they haven't argued for a centralized, autocratic government, you are fooling yourself.

"in opposition to socialism, liberalism, democracy and individualism."

Are you claiming they don't track with this?

"accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State"

They say this all the time, Tim. Neither Shorty nor Ann have some even close to saying "I don't agree with you but I accept your right to have your opinion". Any opinion that doesn't track is labeled as "treason".

You are fooling yourself, Tim. Not sure why, but you are.
