One only need read Jonah Goldberg's book on Liberal Fascism to see all the Western leaders who praised Mussolini in the 1920s and 30s, including Winston Churchill and many stars of the Left. Some of the leaders of the Fascist Party in the 20s were Jews. Only after the alliance with Hitler did Italy begin to impose racial laws against Jews. Read Jonah Goldberg for comments more favorable to the Duce than Berlosconi's, and uttered by liberals and progressives.

Goldberg is a bit nuts. In his book, "Liberal Fascism" he calls the administrations of Kennedy, Johnson, and Clinton "fascist"

Liberals in the 1920's worked to get women the right to vote, while people like Hitler and Mussolini believed they should raise children, stay in the kitchen, and go to church, hence the Nazi slogan: "Kinder, Kirche, und Kuche" (Children, Church, and Kitchen). Liberals also opposed racism and militarism.

Any intersection of values or policies between liberals and fascists was scant and short-lived, at best. The #$%$ held strongly rightwing beliefs: nationalism, militarism, and corporatism.


In the 1920s and more in the 1930s when women fought for "equal rights," they were more likely to be Republicans.  The liberals always favored "protection" for women, even in sports.  Competition was bad for women, according to liberals, and they sought to change sport competitions into more fun, less competitive displays.  Liberal labor views, even with Sec. Perkins in FDR's Cabinet, was more to get men to have a wage sufficient enough for him to support his family.  And there was nothing against the church in the New Deal.  Big government and monuments and the art that accompanied them seem almost identical in the US, Germany, Italy, and the USSR - exceptions, the postal murals in the US.
Big government, socialism, was an attribute of all in the 30s.  Nationalism was certainly part of the package, even in the US.  And FDR in his first 2 terms certainly did not disturb segregation and racism in the South or elsewhere in the US.  The NRA was big government joined with the big corporations to crush the small business.  Corporatism.
Liberals generally admired Mussolini in the 20s and 30s up to his attack on Abbysinia, and some even after that.

How lucky I am to reside in Milwaukee County. Despite the pro-crime policies of the Democrat Mayor Barrett (he ran against GOP Gov. Walker, and lost, twice in the past few years) and Chief of Police Flynn, Sheriff Clarke, a Black Democrat has a sensible view. Barrett and Flynn lead the anti-gun, pro-crime crowd. Sheriff Clarke is a reasonable Democrat, willing to disagree with the liberals who seek to disarm the honest citizens and let the criminals run wild and free.

Hillary assured relatives of the murdered Americans in Benghazi that the maker of the video would be arrested. She and Obama were in an advert in Pakistan stressing the horrible nature of the video. They lied to the American people and the world about the video, blaming free speech in America for acts of Muslim terrorists.
Hillary and Obama cheered the Arab Spring, which is a continuing disaster. They assured us that fanatical Muslim Morsi, who is now Pres. of Egypt, and his Muslim Brotherhood were moderate. Morsi calls the Israelis descendants of apes and pigs.
The Obama/Hillary foreign policy is leading the world to war. Their pro-Muslim policies have encouraged the terrorists - to the killers in Algeria and Mali in the past few days.
Americans have made a terrible mistake by reelecting Obama and his pro-Muslim, even pro-fanatical Muslim, policies.

Being gay IS normal. It is as normal as being left-handed rather than right-handed. Why are there gays? Why are there lefties? Prejudice against left-handers once deemed them sinister. Prejudice against gays considers them sinners. It is the same absurd prejudice.

King's speech was part of the movement of the early 60s to end discrimination, to treat people without regard to race, creed, or color. That was one of the slogans of the era. King was in DC to promote a civil rights bill. That bill created an equal opportunity commission - NOT a commission to grant preferences to this pet group or that.
Nixon made affirmative action a national policy, and too many Republicans refuse to repudiate this outrageous discrimination against poor and middle class whites.
Giving scholarships to poor performing Blacks and denying them to better qualified whites is racial discrimination. It is racist.
And if we have illegal alien amnesty, most illegals jump to the front of the immigration line, AND to the front of the employment line because of affirmative action.
Why should an illegal have affirmative action preferences over an American citizen?
Nixon, the EEOC, and the Democrats have created a nightmare from King's dream.
Obama gave many speeches about how we should all play by the same rules. Affirmative action insures that we DO NOT play by the same rules; preferences for this group, more preferences for that group; and ignore and humiliate white men.
For a just society, we must destroy affirmative action.

How nice for a Democratic activist to give free advice to Republicans! If the Republicans ever want to win, they should not cave to the illegals and the supporters of invasion. They should demand equal rights for all citizens, and an end to affirmative action that insures that we do NOT play by the same rules. If illegals get amnesty, they will get a-a preferences over most American citizens, in college admissions, scholarships, jobs, promotions, etc. It is outrageously unfair.
Of course, one expects such injustice from the Democrats. But keep your destructive advice to yourself.
The GOP should be the party of equal rights for all citizens. Unfortunately, 7 of 8 Hispanics voted against equal rights. That is not the fault of the GOP - it shows the selfishness of most Hispanic voters.

Obama's Arab Spring - more persecution of Christians in Egypt in the past few days, and tons of weapons on way to attack Israel, Israel is a nation composed of descendants of apes and pigs, according to Egyptian Pres. Morsi, This Middle Eastern nightmare is in part the result of Hillary's policies and those of her boss.
All thanks to Barack Hussein Obama!

If there are fewer workers entering the work place, wages may have to rise - and that is an economic effect of the policy. Some of the effects, I question. Many pupils attend boarding schools, where they have several room mates, who become like brothers and sisters. At university, they will have 7 other roommates for the full 4 years. Again, they may become like brothers and sisters, trusting, etc.
In the rural areas, the 1-child policy was not adopted, so there were usually two children.
"Oppressed" minorities were allowed to have as many children as they wanted. The leader of the terrorist Muslim Uigers had 8 children. China would do better by abolishing its affirmative action policies for ungrateful minorities.
