"In any case "supporting an opinion contrary to what the framers intended" does not equal "fascist""

Again, Tim, concentrating power in the presidency isn't the only thing. Just one of a number of them. Quite trying to wander off down tangential issues.

"hose statements would IMO be under the listing of the over the top, offensive, but not serious comments I referred to before. Why both of them want liberals to lose politically, I don't think either of them want them rounded up and put in concentration camps, or given some sort of 2nd class citizen status."

Ok, so they are liars. I suppose it is better, but...

"Also she isn't a post on SI, and even if Longshort was "openly fascist" (and I say he isn't), he isn't many -"

No, Coulter isn't. But she has many fans on SI. Rather than go down a very long list, I decided to use her as an example. However, you have chosen to look at my finger instead of where I am pointing. Not sure why you think that is a killer argument.

"Well lets see - FDR's economic controls (and socialist and fascist and communist that where beating the drum from even more government intervention), arguably the red scare, even Nixon's wage and price controls. And of course you have the war time controls during WWII, but they where of limited duration, and for the most part had more justification."

Sigh. You do realize there is more than just economic issues? And those things happened, there wasn't announced intentions to reformulate the government in a new mold.

But, fine. You want to stick your head in the sand. Not much can be done about willful ignorance.
