The Wenzel poll ("Voters: Yes, Mr. Obama, you are killing economy"), indicates 77 percent of respondents believe America is on the wrong track. A recently publicized Gallup poll showed that 64 percent of respondents see "big government" as being "the biggest threat to the country in the future."
Worry and angst are in the air. One doesn't need polls, showing historic levels of fear and loathing of government to detect a strong undercurrent of anxiety gripping America. Firearm sales are at record highs, reflecting in good measures the fear of an insatiable government run amok and the possibility of social unrest.
Obama, Reid, Pelosi and their thuggish political machines will stop at nothing, including massive election balloting fraud and intimidation, to keep government gluttony and license unrestricted. RINO Republicans are hardly much better than the tyrannocrats who have overtaken the Democratic Party or get high fives in RINO circles.
The natural rights of the people, protected by the Constitution, are impediments to the big-government script, which of course explains why politicians and judges have intensified their attacks on natural rights over the past 10 years and more. The poll numbers of Wenzel and Gallup are registering the people's perception of this ongoing assault.
If the elections of 2012 are staged to maintain business as usual in Washington, D.C., there could be a seismic tilt toward state secession movements, a natural blowback against unchecked federal autocracy and a counter-force not to be feared but embraced as part of a much-needed political cleansing process.
WND Letter
1. No matter how the corruption plays out in 2012, Obama winds. Heads I win, tails you lose. A strong economy he takes credit. A bad economy all the on the dole entitlement people vote Obama because he is the man with the check book.
2. Republicans, from a photogenic prospective, that is all that matters in America, the superficial, Romney/Huntsmen is the best combo. They will lose but look nice on TV. Backman/Sanitation have their heads stuck up the Virginia of a woman having an abortion. Gingrich is old news. Perry is a Dulce. What is left?
3. I watched FOX, Gretchen is usually on target, if not her skirt is nice & short, she says Romney was TOO nice. Guess what, we need substance not more chicken sh*t 'I got you.' I srtill dont know what any a** hole, D or R can or is proposing to do to fix anything. The answer is obvious, known of them can.
4. The overwhelming STUPIDITY of the electorate. They will destroy America if the politicians dont.
The end is near!
PS The 'laws' of the Third Reich protected the agenda of that brutality. Fascism comes in two flavors, LEFT & RIGHT, we got Left flavor here in America. When judge appointments were made on ideology in America, that is when our court system died. What we have now is a tool of political repression & it will turn Right soon. It always does.
To all my Jewish social progressive friends, 80% voting democrat, they will send you to the ovens again. It wont be Miami but it will be hot as hell. To my Goy friends on the left, your souls are dead. Then the Christian Kookalition, your Jesus is not mine. Last night at Blue Grass music presentation a singer sang Oh Tannenbaum (not Atomic Bomb) he said "he hoped they would not take Christmas out of the song" . It may be in the song, still but it is out of our culture.

It does?...Explain to me then what 'Right-Wing Fascism' is because it's a contridiction.

Fascism exists when the extreme left and right wing agree on using the power of the state for their ideological desires. The right wing allows the left wing to spend on social welfare and the left wing allows the right wing to spend on expanding warfare. They are both statists. There is no left or right wing fascism; it is statism serving both ideological wings. This is why Ron Paul’s message is so dangerous to the statist. He is educating people to the reality of the country we live in. He uses the word 'corporatism' so not to scare people with the word fascism, because he understands people automatically think of Hitler when they hear fascism. But, if people took the time to research it, they would realize we are pretty much there. All this new legislation giving the military the authority to detain U.S. citizens in the war on terror is the state realizing that people are awakening to the reality that they are living under a despotic government.

Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each:
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Mussolini was a member of the Socialist Party. Nazi's are National Socialist. How do you sqaure those facts with the dictionary's definition of fascism as "right wing"? History shows, fascism moves from the left socialist wing. FDR was the begining of America's move toward fascism.

(The name "Socialist" Party, does not always denote a socialism... Much like the name "Democrat" party does not always denote "democracy".)
~ "In 1912 the Maximalists led by Benito Mussolini prevailed at the Socialist party convention and this led to the split of the Italian Reform Socialist Party. World War I tore the party apart as orthodox socialists were challenged by advocates of national syndicalism that advocated a revolutionary war to liberate Italian territories from Austrian control and to force the government by threat of violence to adopt changes that would create a corporatist state.
Benito Mussolini was purged from the Socialist Party as he begun to show sympathy to the national syndicalist cause. A number of the national syndicalists expelled from the Socialist Party became members of Benito Mussolini's "National Fascist Party."

Nice summary of how fascism moved out of socialism.
