they can't be both anti-government and strong government The Republicans are just that All for the crony capitalism, bank bailouts and corporate welfare, as voted for by Rand acolyte Ryan, and all for rigid anti-abortion rules, under any circumstances, including life of the mother, as in a bill co-written by Ryan and endorsed by Romney Whatever side of whatever issue is needed to appeal to their confused base...

<<Yes, I suppose it depends on one's understanding of the word fascism. BUT, you just can't argue that Romney and Ryan are Ayn Rand disciples and that they are fascist too! Or put in terms a little straighter to message; they can't be both anti-government and strong government leaning towards dictatorship. ............It gives the sense that liberals are every bit as intolerant as conservatives and that they throw "hate filled" words out there to disparage those who don't believe the same as they do. >> I agree, fascism has many definitions. The one in my mind is the rich and powerful running the country. In this context Romney and Ryan and Rand could all be called fascists of the same ilk. Of course I just defined fascism to fit romney, ryan and Rand perfectly, which could be seen as negating my entire argument-lol. <<Romney and Ryan are Ayn Rand disciples and that they are fascist too>>
