Liberals feel they always have to demonize their political opponents. Liberals always all their opponents "fascists". Its a kneejerk reaction, no thought behind it.

This is absolutely true. The term "fascist" has been tossed around for years by liberals without their really understanding what fascism is or how it has evolved, as we witnessed on this thread this week.

I suppose it stems from the tie-in with nationalism. But nationalism isn't exclusively rightest, and fascism, historically had many leftest elements. It is probably a misunderstanding of the subject to conclude that fascism is exclusively "rightest" or exclusively "leftist", as it has elements of both. But a conservative certainly isn't fascist by virtue of his conservatism, and that's the way the term has so often been used by liberals.

There is reason for that. Republicans have done some destructive......yes, evil things in this country over the past 15 years. I just posted an article about electric cars where it talks about how all the electric car projects of the big three were either killed or put on the back burner because the GOP Congress gave them what they wanted in terms of required mileage per gallon back in 2003. Your party fucked us over.......do you get it, dude? This isn't a partisan game many of us are playing. No, its not a game at all.........rather, the rest of us are gunning for you guys because of all the sh*t your leaders have caused this country.
