The liberal/fascists are confused.

This is presidential primary election day in Ohio and Texas. The once juggernaut party of FDR is split whether to nominate Obama or Hillary. It is depressing to consider that the nation of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and other founding luminaries must choose between these two candidates. I heard a news account on the radio this morning; a lady in Ohio said she hadn't made up her mind whether to vote for Hillary of Obama, but she was going to vote Democrat. What a day this is.

You're funny. :)

Have you read any of Jonah Goldberg's writings on liberal fascism ?

Like I said on another posting ;I think the Democrats are getting some buyer's remorse and Hillary will proclaim herself tonight "the new comeback kid ".

I haven't read the book but I do read his columns:

Debating Liberal Fascism

I Got Chopped for Comedy

Here is his blog on the subject.

Let me throw in this recent column, Radicals Never Say Sorry in which he discusses "how light the baggage is when one travels from violent radicalism to liberalism." Such as Obama's loose ties to William Ayers of the Weather Underground and Hillary's brush with the Black Panthers as an editor of The Yale Review of Law and Social Action.

He asks the questions "Why are Fidel Castro’s apologists progressive and enlightened but apologists for Augusto Pinochet frightening and authoritarian? Why was Sen. Trent Lott’s kindness to former segregationist Sen. Strom Thurmond a scandal but Obama’s acquaintance with an unrepentant terrorist a triviality?"

I'd like to know that, too. Obama and Hillary, these are your "progressive" choices America. Don't be fooled.

The ultra liberal wing of the Democratic party, (is that most of them?) sound a lot like the Communists of the '50's. So ready and willing to be liberal with other people's property and money, so anxious to micro-manage everyone's life. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." That can be expressed in so many ways.

Yes split over identity politics and who is the bigger victim and is suppose to be next in line.

"Gender is probably the most restricting force in American life, whether the question is who must be in the kitchen or who could be in the White House.

Black men were given the vote a half-century before women of any race were allowed to mark a ballot, and generally have ascended to positions of power, from the military to the boardroom, before any women "

Why would she bring this up ? - if like in the end, she states its qualifications that should matter first and foremost.

Thanks for the article. While her prose is beautiful, all I have to say about Ms. Steinham et al is that, if you want to be president, you should act like a president. In what ways does, or has, Hillary acted like a president? By staying married to the philander-in-chief? By trying to ramrod fascist health care down America's throat? When does she, or any Democrat for that matter, ever speak of individual liberty and responsibility? Other than in procuring an abortion? Or by moving to NY and being coronated queen of the Empire State? I'm getting nauseated. Sorry.

Stay in touch. That's because between the major party candidates the alternative would be one "John Sidney McCain III." Now considering the two issues on most voters mind is our economy and the ongoing war, that's reasonable expectations. If Hillary Clinton ends up with the Democrat's nomination, and provided that Nevada permits write-in general election votes, I'm choosing Ron Paul. Should Barack Obama get the Democrat's nomination I'll vote for him.

The Dow is sharply up on the news of Hellary's "come back." We know who the private bankers of Wall Street are backing. Hellary/Obama 2008!
