Today's bad guys truly are fascists ~ By Joseph Farah

Joseph Farah explains the political spectrum further. Progressives don't like being labeled as Fascists, however, the label actually fits them well.

What's the center of the political spectrum?


Limited self-government under the rule of law and accountable to the will of the people – just the unique formula invented by America's founders.


Therefore, I can proudly and accurately say, "I'm a centrist – just like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and James Madison."

Self-described "progressives" seldom respond well to being labeled fascists.

They usually consider themselves to be the very antithesis.

But, as I wrote in my column last weekend, "The real political spectrum 101," they really are not so different.

In fact, I'd be hard-pressed to find any substantive difference.

Even moderate Democrats today, people like Pat Caddell, are calling today's American "progressives" – people like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid – "statists." Can any reasonable observer deny they are just that? Don't they believe the state has the answer to all problems? Don't their actions suggest they think government can pretty much always do a better job than the private sector? Are they the folks pushing the "public-private partnerships"? Heck, didn't they facilitate the public takeover of General Motors?

Not to put too fine a point on it, but those are the very definitions of "fascism."

The political ideology of fascism has nothing to do with killing Jews or even imperialistic ambitions. It has to do with government controlling corporations, doling out favors to some and punishing others and harnessing the power of success by corporations for the benefit of the state.

Again, it's a tiny step short of communism, which calls for state ownership of the means of production. Fascists like Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler recognized the inefficiency and foolishness of that utopian notion.

Mussolini put it this way: "Fascism should rightly be called corporatism as it is a merger of state and corporate power."

Here's another key quote: "State intervention in economic production arises only when private initiative is lacking or insufficient, or when the political interests of the state are involved. This intervention may take the form of control, assistance or direct management."

The media-government incest brothel ~ By Craige McMillan

From WorldNetDaily

By Craige McMillan Posted: August 27, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 America was designed with a watchdog press that the founders believed would naturally allay itself with the citizens against government excess. Why? Because the press was composed of small, individual businesses, most often printers. That's why the founders specifically protected the press from the government by including it in the First Amendment. Unfortunately, the founders failed to see several rather nasty developments:

• The rise of media conglomerates, which absorbed most of the nation's once-independent voices (which has been encouraged by government);

• Ongoing incest between the conglomeratized press corps and the government itself (the revolving door);

• The infestation of the press by special-interest groups, including government itself.

A perfect example of this is Jon Leibowitz, a top federal regulator, and his wife, Ruth Marcus, a columnist for the Washington Post. Of course, they use different last names in real life. Now the federal regulator will be hosting a panel on the press' role in America. Bloomberg, to its great credit, had the decency to mention the relationship in its reporting on the upcoming conference. [READ FULL COLUMN]

Safe in the arms of government ~ By Henry Lamb

The government is rapidly expanding control over every facet of life. The perpetrators of these attacks on freedom may sincerely believe that government is a better manager of society than are free people in pursuit of personal happiness. History proves time after time that government management of society enslaves people as it empowers government. read more | digg story

Throw out the bums, but not this guy ~ By Joseph Farah

By Joseph Farah © 2009 Seldom will you ever hear me beg an incumbent member of Congress to seek re-election. But that's what I am about to do today having learned that Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., is still not sure he will seek a second term in 2010. I personally believe almost all members of Congress hang around too long. They get comfortable in Washington. They can't imagine going home and working for a living, again. They love being treated like royalty. The days of the citizen-legislator are over in America today. There are exceptions, however. One of them is Tom Coburn, who has truly made a difference during his years in the House and Senate. He has an impeccable reputation for honesty and sticking to his convictions and principles. He is so candid, in fact, even Democrats admire him – recognizing that he truly believes in constitutionally limited government and will never compromise on those beliefs. [Continue reading]

Fight for your right to tea party ~ By Doug Powers

"What was at first plunder assumed the softer name of revenue." ~ Thomas Paine. Many people are going to the non-partisan TEA parties across America on April 15, and for many different reasons: Excessive and confusing tax laws, concern for their children and grandchildren who are born in debt, or out-of-control government waste, to name a few. read more | digg story

Obama's choice: FDR or Reagan - by Patrick J. Buchanan

Obama and the Democrats are taking a historic gamble, not only with their careers but with the country. If this monstrous stimulus package, plus the trillions in hot money, do not work; if the two ignite rampant inflation, rather than real growth, we are all out of options. The toolbox is empty. And what will follow may truly resemble the 1930s.

'Bail Me Out, Baby' - by Craig R. Smith

America was a land forged by rugged individualism, hard work and personal responsibility. We had the ability to take care of ourselves and limit government to the very basics of protecting the nation. That changed radically in 2008. It is now all about Big Brother, taking care of us from cradle to grave. People not only embrace it, they demand it!
