RE:"And there is roughly 50% of the country that has had enough. Its our turn."

Do you relly think Barack is just going to send you a check and double your salary?

Liberalism does not promote nationalism, patriotism, nor militarism. Conservatism does.

Agree, as a general rule; liberals are the last place you'd look for patriotism, nationalism, or conservatism.

But fascism isn't indicated by the existence of these three conditions. IF you want to find the seeds of fascism in the United States, look long and hard at the administrations of Woodrow Wilson and FDR. Yes, you'll find nationalism, patriotism and militarism. But you'll also find the key foundational elements of fascism that are essential to its existence.

Fascism is fundamentally, at its core, a liberal philosophy. You really don't want to go there, I don't think.

Ted,

Liberalism does not promote nationalism, patriotism, nor militarism. Conservatism does.

Rather than commenting on the Orwelian name "Liberalism", let me comment on the true name: "Socialism". It gave use Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot in the last century.

That's enough of a caution for a reasonable person not to risk voting for any Socialist. But then, not everybody is reasonable...
