I think Kristina had a point there — it's not that you aren't allowed to have opinions or print them wherever you like, far from it. The fact remains, though, that this kind of writing will remain political diatribe unless it assumes some air of scholarship and approaches the subject objectively. We should all by now be children of the postmodern era. Yes you have sources and yes, the article is convincing, but that doesn't say a thing about its methodological rigor. Maybe I'm making assumptions about your assumptions, but it sounds an awful lot like you scoured that definition for ways to paint Obama as a fascist, which as a Master in something or other you know is no way to approach a subject that you care to study in a proper manner.

In the interest of disclosure I paint myself as a liberal. However, I don't necessarily disagree with the text of your argument — that the definition of fascism sounds an awful lot like what Obama is doing. I just think that the whole story isn't being represented and that the subtext of your argument is a mischaracterization of both (from my point of view) Obama's actions and, more objectively, fascism as a concept.

Leviticus 19:18 thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

I went to college, graduate school, and work VERY hard to make a living, yet I can't afford health insurance and when I say that a public OPtion doesn't seem like a bad idea, I'm accused of being a fascist /socialist by my republican counterparts. This is not a sports game people. This is a nation, The Native Americans were here before anyone else, and we are a blended society. We can still be conservative but let's think of how we can move forward without being so selfish but thinking of the common good of the American people. Every man and woman deserve the right to the liberty of health. God Bless.

You are beyond wrong in stating a "fact" that fascism is more often than not on the right side of politics. This demonstrates your complete lack of understanding of the topic at hand.

What makes you think the people we quote are not educated?

Source : History, Dictionary, *gasps* school.

If you have a different definition, maybe your interpretation of the facts is the problem.

Words of advise : Unless you can "competitively defend the opposite sides argument, you have not researched enough" Source - Stanford University.

I copied and pasted from the source, the pronunciation, I don't know why you would not see that as obvious, rather than threatened by it?

I don't know on what world you spend most of your time, but the facts are in… you just have to know how to interpret them. Here is a FACT: socialism is a natural reaction to a capitalist society. Learn about Marxist theory not Marxist as in history, and you can see that. You cant change that, its inevitable. Fascism.. I dont even know where you get this. It's definitively not the same thing at ALL . "Fascists believe that nations and/or races are in perpetual conflict whereby only the strong can survive by being healthy, vital, and by asserting themselves in conflict against the weak." So to point finger to a president, 1 of 535 people who make the decisions in this country is ridiculous. Take one of those issues and understand the why before you speculate, or try to loosely associate this to something different. You give him way WAY more power than he deserves.

If I took instance of anyone's life without full spectrum, I could connect the dots of anyone to anything. You need to understand the why of which it is happening. You cannot blur the facts with limited perspectives unless you understand everything including the why. I suggest you try to understand the why it is happening, not complain and try to argue views that it is happening (or propose it as merely questioning is irresponsible) WE ALREADY KNOW THIS.

Do you know any Fascist to suggest that Obama is following this pattern? You don't even understand the definition to speculate this on your own. Present the FACTS. Not your interpretation , but educated factual ones. Don't propose the question unless your expecting your audience to come to your same conclusion.

"You education types teach that fascism is on the extreme right of the political spectrum, which is absolutely wrong". How is this taught? I have never been to an institution of higher education that has taught this. Not one. This is a irresponsible understanding . The fact is that often more so than not its on the right. That is it.

This has nothing to do with democrat educators. You need present the whole truth with responsible examples of it. Including the educators. How can you leave the educated community out of this! How does that even make sense! If you don't have the WHOLE truth , then suggest your interpretation. Don't try to make you own up and present it as fact.
