OK, so...
1. You do not understand what historical fascism really is all about, and
2. You yourself are a social democrat, so no big deal.
Got it!
Just for fun, jon, would you please name one fascist Republican member of Congress and explain which of that member's actions, votes and policies make him or her an actual
fascist?

Congratulations for that Cheshire-cat grin. Obviously, you are pleased that at least 70 Democrat members of Congress support your political agenda.

Only 70 are brave enough and proud enough to admit it publicly.

The Democratic Party is about as socialistic as you are capitalistic.

Hmm. True in both cases. You hit the nail on the head, kalm.

If you're as libertarian as you claim to be, you'd agree with my statement.

Ain't a damned thing wrong with being a socialist. Just a different philosophy on how to get things done. Capitalism has failed us greviously.
Also, naive, we live in a socialist country and have for decades. Look around you. Time to drop the Reagen-era flag waving and accept new ideas. The future demands it. It ain't 1949 anymore.
Camper Van Beethoven, "Sweethearts":
'Cause he's always living back in Dixon
Circa 1949
And we're all sitting at the fountain, at the five and dime
'Cause he's living in some b-movie
The lines they are so clearly drawn
In black and white life is so easy
And we're all coming along on this one
'Cause he's on a secret mission
Headquarters just radioed in
He left his baby at the dancehall
While the band plays on some sweet song
And on a mission over china
The lady opens up her arms
The flowers bloom where you haved placed them
And the lady smiles, just like mom
Angels wings are icing over
Mcdonnell-douglas olive drab
They bear the names of our sweethearts
And the captain smiles, as we crash
'Cause in the mind of Ronald Reagan
Wheels they turn and gears they grind
Buildings collapse in slow motion
And trains collide, everything is fine
Everything is fine
Everything is fine

You are still deadly wrong, Cap, but I like your poetry a lot better than you insults and hissy fits.
