It's hard to find a self-respecting liberal these days who doesn't denounce
Donald Trump as "a fascist." If you Google "fascist," the first thing that
pops up on the screen is a photo of Trump.

University professors, Democratic pundits and members of the media who don't
call him a fascist resort to over-the-top, sneering terms like "racist,"
"repellent" and even "Nazi." After Trump's call for a moratorium on Muslim
immigration, here are a few of the choice words from those tolerant people on
the left:

"He is running for President as a fascist demagogue," said Martin O'Malley,
Democratic presidential candidate.

"Trump wants to literally write racism into our law books," said Huma Abedin,
aide to Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.

"It is ... entirely fair to call him a mendacious racist," said Ben Smith,
editor-in-chief, BuzzFeed.
"America's modern Mussolini," said Dana Milbank of The Washington Post.

"Trump is a proto-fascist, rather than an actual fascist. He has many ideas
that are fascistic in nature," wrote Peter Bergen, CNN's national security
analyst.

At the end of this sneering commentary, Bergen launched into a fascinating
tutorial on what a fascist is. Here are several key characteristics of a
fascist leader according to CNN:


1. "The superiority of the leader's instincts over abstract and universal
reason."

2. "The belief of one group that it is the victim, justifying any action."

3. "The need for authority by natural leaders (always male) culminating in a
national chief who alone is capable of incarnating the group's destiny."

Wait a minute. What modern politician best fits this description? Could it be
Barack Obama, the Messiah, the chosen one, the man who holds political
rallies with gothic columns in giant

amphitheaters, who enters the stage as if he were a Greek god? Obama is the
greatest demagogue of modern times, who convinced the vast electorate that
they are "victims" and that the key to happiness and prosperity is to take
from the rich: people, he says, who have way more wealth than they could
possibly need.

Obama's whole political success rests on identity politics -- on persuading
blacks, Hispanics, Jews, women, the disabled, gays, students, the poor and
immigrants that they are victims of a vast American government conspiracy
against them.

As for belief in the "superiority" of the leader's powers "over reason,"
Barack Obama, omnipotent, tells his followers that he has the capability of
"healing the planet," changing the earth's weather pattern and stopping
oceans from rising. He is promising miracles that require people to suspend
all reason and believe that he can achieve the equivalent of Moses parting
the oceans.

So just who is the "proto-fascist," really?

"Liberal fascism," as my friend Jonah Goldberg has aptly pointed out in his
book of the same title, is the "collaboration of government, church, unions
and interest groups to expand government. It is simply the liberal impulse
for controlling the lives of others." It is the religion of the left.

Ironically, the left intelligentsia that is accusing Trump of fascism are
many of the same people in Hollywood who just made a movie celebrating the
communists and fascists of the 1950s within their ranks -- and portraying
them sympathetically as blackballed victims rather than subversive supporters
of the butchers who killed millions of Jews, blacks, gays, Christians and
dissidents.

Many of the communists in Hollywood, not least of all Trumbo, the new movie's
hero, were avid supporters of Stalin and even remained so after his genocidal
purges were well-documented. Even the Russians themselves have repudiated the
savagery of Stalin -- but not the American left.

So what really is fascism? The left, simplistically, has redefined the term
to mean when massive numbers of voters support a conservative cause supported
by the right and opposed by the left. If you oppose racial quotas or gun
control, you are a fascist. If you support traditional marriage, you are a
fascist. If you want to cut welfare benefits, you are a fascist. If you
support Donald Trump, you are a fascist. By this definition liberals can't be
fascists because they are on a righteous cause.

But the real definition of a fascist is a leader who wants to use
governmental power to suppress rights of individuals. It is the partnership
of government and private industry for the "collective good." Corporate
cronyism is a classic form of fascism, which would include programs such as
the Export Import Bank.

Fascism, communism, socialism, Nazism, progressivism are all just variations
on this same theme. These "isms" all feed on the subjugation of freedom.

The left might want to engage in some introspection and ask why so many
millions of Americans -- many of whom enthusiastically voted for Obama -- now
agree with Trump. Are these suddenly terrible people? Have they been duped by
a charismatic leader? More likely the answer is that an ever-shrinking number
of Americans trust Obama to keep the dangerous Muslims out. People want,
above all right now, to keep their families safe, and since Obama has no
interest in real and effective terrorist screening, many Americans believe
it's best to keep them all out for now.

If middle-class American voters are so economically marginalized and so
afraid, angry and distrustful of Washington that millions would throw their
support behind a man routinely denounced as a dangerous Nazi/fascist, maybe
the left might want to ask: Who made things so bad that it has come to this?
Without Barack Obama's full slate of failures and his eight years of
polarizing politics, there could be no Donald Trump.

Islam is a peaceful religion, just as long as the women are beaten,
the boys buggered and the infidels are killed.

The explanation of fascist has been altered the political correct way.

In the ancient Rome there were a police group called "Lictore" They
carried a bunch of sticks. In the middle of the bundle was an axe.

The philosophy was that if you were a criminal, you would be beaten with
the stick. Ultimately you could be executed with the axe.

So fascists are people that enforce law and order. Of course the
leftists did not like that and introduced it as profanity!

Law and order is a profanity to the political correct!

Liberal contradiction !!! *ALERT* !!!

Are you now saying that Lincoln and his war and his proclamation to end
slavery was him being the worst enemy of the U.S.

Are you saying we would have been better off if the Republican Lincoln
had never freed the slaves?

Well that is Liberalism, a never ending stream of contradiction.

That's why I keep pointing them out, one after another and another and

[This article illustrates the Jewish view on immigration,
namely that the only thing that matters is if immigration
helps Jews either directly by allowing more Jews to come
here or to weaken white Gentiles as a deliberate political
strategy. Now suddenly Muslim immigration is making Jews uneasy
and they're being forced to rethink their traditional
position of being fervent open borders advocates. This is
the Jewish mentality in action and why Jews can never be
trusted. They never cared about the destruction that massive
non-white immigration was causing America, only how it
affects Jews. As a matter of fact, the more non-whites the
better for them. This is clear from Glickman's comment."]

Community Questioning 'Open Door'
Debate Raging On Immigration
JEWISH FORWARD

"In a sharp break with the past, advocates of reduced
immigration have been invited in recent months to speak
before the General Assembly of United Jewish Communities as
well as to board members of the American Jewish Committee
and at an American Jewish Congress event. All three
institutions have historically been staunch advocates of
open immigration. 'The more diverse American society is the
safer [Jews] are," Glickman told the Forward."

WHAT IS FASCISM?

By James Miller, PhD

Fascism is an economic system in which a nation's government plays a
central role in monitoring all banking, trade, production, and labor
activity which takes place within the nation. Such monitoring is done
for the sole purpose of safeguarding & advancing the nation and its
people. Under Fascism, the government will not approve of any business
activity unless that business has a positive impact on the nation as a
whole and the people of the nation - this is the axiom which
determines everything under Fascism.

In other words, the government asks, "Is XYZ Enterprises good for our
nation and our people?" If yes, it's approved. If no, it's not
approved. When they ask, "Is it good?", they mean, "Is XYZ Enterprises
good for the workers, do they pay a fair wage, do they produce a
product or provide a service which advances our nation & our people
technologically, morally, spiritually, health-wise, etc???" For
example, a pornography company would not be allowed because
pornography corrupts people generally and exploits & degrades women
particularly. Also, "free" trade agreements (such as what the U.S. has
with China) would never be allowed because such trade agreements
result in companies sending jobs overseas (where labor is dirt cheap).
Such an activity, of course, would undermine a nation's labor class.
This is entirely unnacceptable and thus not allowed under a Fascist
economic model.

Fascism is based on free enterprise - but with constraints (the
primary constraint being, "Is the particular economic activity in
question good for our nation?"). Also, a businessman can become
wealthy in a Fascist country, and the government has no objection to
this (this is in stark contrast to Communism). Fascism also encourages
private ownership of property (again, in stark contrast to Communism
where private property is not allowed).

In a nutshell, Fascism basically tells entrepreneurs, "Go ahead and
start a business, earn a lot of money, be successful, but don't
produce any products or services which damage our nation and our
nation's people... and make sure you treat your workers fair and pay
them a living wage. If you don't do these things, we'll shut you
down."

The above is the economic aspect of Fascism. There is also a
cultural/social aspect to Fascism as well. Under Fascism, government
plays a key role in monitoring: film, theatre, art, literature, music,
education, etc in order to maintain a high moral standard, keep things
clean and respectable, promote a strong sense of patriotism and honor,
and prevent the dissemination of depraved filth which corrupts
society.

A few other things to mention. Fascism encourages respect for the
enviroment as Fascists understand that nature is the giver of life and
thus must be preserved. Contrast this environmental view with that of
Capitalism which too often takes the short term view and foolishly
believes that pollution is a necessary byproduct of profit.

Also, under Fascism, if a person doesn't like things, he/she can leave
the country. Contrast this with Communism where if you don't like
things, you better keep your mouth shut. And, of course, there is no
option to leave the country. You will submit or else be sent to a
re-education camp where you'll be brainwashed to accept the Communist
system. And if you still resist, you'll probably be killed. Again,
there is no leaving. Submit or suffer the consequences.

Lastly, Fascism holds women in very high regard. Women are the
carriers of new life. They are expected to be educated, worldly, and
well read. Women are encouraged to pursue their interests and have a
career but only if a career won't interfere with her family's needs;
family comes first, always. Women are encouraged to be strong yet
feminine.

In Germany, the NSDAP essentially followed the above described Fascist
system.

Here is part of David Duke's newsletter:

"Entering my old neighborhood of Gentilly Woods in New Orleans had
a profound effect upon me. My once tidy and well-kept neighborhood was
now mostly Black and disheveled. It once sported many homes that
seemed to always have a fresh-painted look. Now they were adorned with
peeling paint an unkempt lawns of weeds and trash. In talking to some
old holdouts in the neighborhood, they told me that the once rare
burglary, vandalism and assault had now become commonplace. The
diehard White remnants who remained had adapted to the changes and
found a way to endure each indignity and violation the best they
could. The change had been so gradual that they were no longer shocked
by new instances of crime, just resigned to them.

"The streets had scattered groups of hard-featured Black men
standing around dilapidated cars giving hostile stares to an obviously
unknown White person trespassing in their neighborhood.

"Even though it had been many years since my last visit, my
memories became more vivid as I entered the boundaries of the
neighborhood. It seemed as though I had only been away a few scant
hours. Now those memories crashed against the images of the present
causing me to feel off balance. It was akin to visiting a healthy
friend and then after a few short weeks to see him wasting away with
cancer. Afraid that perhaps me recollection was more idealized than it
really was--as soon as I returned home, I ferreted out my old
photographs.

"Those photos clearly portrayed a community even more attractive
than I had remembered. Well-kept homes filled the album, often
accented with blooming flowers and finely trimmed shrubbery, sidewalks
edged closely, and many homes had a fresh paint look. Polished autos
dotted the clean streets. Even more dramatic were the Tom Sawyer and
Becky Thatcher-like bright faces of the children with whom I spent so
many happy hours of childhood.

"In my time they were the ruddy faces that filled our streets
yards and parks. They were all gone now, replaced by dark, angry
teenagers, with scarred skin and boomboxes; often with pistols and
crack in their pockets, menacing the streets where children now fear
to venture. A picture repeated, I believe, all over the United States
of America. For the current White residents of Gentilly Woods their
story is much like the story of the frog that is put in a pot of warm
water while the temperature is slowly increased until the poor
creature is boiling and it is too late to save itself. Is the
traditional American already too lulled by the tepid water to realize
what is ahead?

"Amercians can glimpse the future in the inner cities of
America. The political corruption, failing schools, drug problems,
crime, the run down housing and even the trash in the streets- all
hold a preview of the coming attractions of 21st century America. When
all of America is of the same racial proportion as that of the inner
cities, there will be no White infrastructure, and no white cornucopia
of tax revenue mitigating the Third Worldism. Criminals will no longer
be held in check by White police, prosecutors, juries and judges. The
shrinking White tax base will be inadequate to the costs of the
criminal justice system and jails needed to house lawbreakers. The
housing, food, medical care, and schooling of those who cannot provide
their own--will no longer be able to live off the support of the aging
and diminishing European population."

... Lincoln, we should also remember, was a passionate segregationist,
a fact Krannawitter barely touches on, though it might interest our
new President to know that the Great Emancipator's preferred solution
was to abolish slavery and to remove all "free colored persons" from
the United States. In 1862 he proposed an amendment that would
authorize Congress to pay for this huge project.
