Let's contemplate that, shall we? Yes. We shall.
Radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology. Hm. Sounds like the lbieroidal in chief.
Authoritarian in that they STATE makes the rules and individuals lack such authority. Liberalism. And does the STATE severely penalize all those who dare to step out of line? Why yes. The STATE does. Liberalism.
Nationalist? You bet. America was set up by design as a FEDERAL system consisting of a variety of checks and balances to prevent the central (federal) government from having too much power. But the LIBERALS evaded that, systematically and ruthlessly. "Interstate commerce" became their first major tool. It subsumed every other form of limitation on the central government. No 'check' wouldn't yield to the facile analysis of what was or wasn't
in the flow of interstate commerce. And the dominoes then all fell. NOW, because of the LBIERAL desire to have an improperly STRONG CENTRAL GOVERNMENT, it is not longer a FEDERAL Government so much as a NATIONAL Government, precisely what it was designed NOT TO BE.
Liberal and nationalism go hand in hand.
And what could be MORE of a
corporatist economic ideology than to have the damn national government become the primary owner of the means of production? And if you don't recognize that THIS is exactly what President Obama and the liberoidal Democratics presently controlling Congress are doing, then you are either not paying attention or you are not willing to admit the things presented before your very eyes.
Modern American Liberalism IS fascist in nature and in conduct.
