“In his new book, American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America, Hedges insists that today’s evangelical Christians are good old-fashioned fascists and Nazis reborn.”

Hitler was a left-wing Democrat
He was a fucking Nazi, you idiot. His party ran AGAINST the social democrats in Germany.
Saddam (1 to 6 million)
So, we're saying things that aren't true, now?
Is that the rule?
Why wasn't I informed?
Oh, well. I claim his argument to be false because Cinderella is a historically proven radical feminist. If you can't see the connection, then you are a rapist.
What exactly is in the water at Free Republic?
Yeah technically Nazi meant National Socialist, so fucking what? At some point the far right and far left more or less merge. The only difference between Hitler and Stalin was their lip service rhetoric. So please spare us the leftwing-rightwing bullshit. As far as the right of the Republican party being for small gov't....Bwhahahahahahahaha!!!!
Republicans want freedom? You mean the freedom to have an abortion? Nope. Freedom to marry whomever you want? Nope. Human rights? Nope. Civil liberties? Nope Privacy? Nope. These guys can't even follow their own fraking laws.
As for your supposed small government, Republicans even fail at that. Depending on which side lines their pockets better they'll either favor regulation or deregulation. They inflated military expenditures and blatantly lied to the public with their silly war in Iraq.
At some point the far right and far left more or less merge.
Thus proving you know nothing of the difference between far right and far left ideologies.
EDIT: Can't edit for some reason.
History disagrees.
All that history shows is the consequences of authoritarianism. Anarchists and Stalinists are both left-wing, but their ideologies are totally different.
Also the idea of the political spectrum being a loop instead of a line is one humungous Golden Mean Fallacy.
They were left wingers (and, like Christofascists, social kkkonservatives), but the extreme right of the Repubs does not believe in freedom.
YOUGOTIT is simply borrowing a page from his beloved Republican Party and the current Chief Executive by lying through his teeth and talking out of his arse.
"Iraq has weapons of mass destruction"
and the latest
"Iran is building a nuclear weapon"
and so on...
As an aside I can't help but read that as "You go, tit!"
Another candidate for the fundie redefinition project: Leftist - any dictator, regardless of their actual political beliefs.
any group who believes in small government and freedom like the right of the Republican party
Small Government: [img=http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q259/john1009/NatDebt.gif ]National Debt by President[/img]
Freedom:
Left-wing fascists don't exist. All fascists are right-wing. The numbers don't make any sense. Pol Pot killed about 1,5 million and Saddam "only" half a million. Left doesn't mean anything anyway, because the groups that are considered left have very different ideologies.
Yet another poster who has no clue that while some of the leaders listed may have claimed from time to time to be "left-wing" they were actually nothing short of fascist killers. And yes, Fascism is as right-wing as anyone can get. D'oh.
And the Repubs believe in the freedom to pollute the air and water and Earth... but they want a huge spy network to look in your bedrooms at night. YOU GO TIT, are you ready to have the government under your bed? Are you perfectly pure (to quote good old Bro Randy)?
Oh. It's a Freeper. This is actually quite tame for them.
"Move along folks, nothing to see here, nothing to- Oh My God! It's a horrible plane wreck! Everybody, come look! Crowd around, don't be shy."
The only subject Yougotit was slightly right on was Stalin ideology- and he was only kinda left, anyway. He used many right-wing Social policies (remove rule of law, remove opposition, freedom of speech, remove privacy, use HUGE millitary force to invade other countries and make an empire, conscription- you get the idea) and some Left wing policies (greater education- which was only to indoctrinate everyone anyway, equal rights- no rights for anyone, although the first country in the modern era to use women in their workforce, and equal pay- no pay for anyone!). In many ways Hitler and Stalin were not out for any particular viewpoint (except anti-Semitism in the case of Hitler) and were willing to throw away ideology in the face of neccessety. In many ways Hitler and Stalin weren't 'Lefties' and 'Righties' but Hitlerists and Stalinites.
no, fail, fail, fail, WRONG!!!!
Let's be frank, okay YOUGOTIT? You clearly have no idea what "left wing" or "right wing" mean. You clearly have no idea what the politics of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot or Hussein. All you know is that if you like something it is "Republican" or "right wing," and if you dislike something it is "Democrat" or "left wing."
But then, what would we expect from some one whose user name is a bold faced echo of unreflective, sheep-like agreement?
"Hitler (7 to 15 million), Stalin (25 to 35 million), Pol Pot (1 to 5 million), Saddam (1 to 6 million) and the list of left-wing scum goes on and on."
You know what? I believe you.
I'm quite willing to accept that, compared to you , those people are "left-wing".
The only thing resembling wanting 'small goverment' within the Republican party is outlawing all other parties for divine commandership
Then it would still be bigger as they eventually move people like Limbaugh and Beck into the Whitehouse
Fascists are right-wing.
You'd probably like most fascist dictators, if you really studied them. They often start with banning abortions, homosexuality, feminism, voting, freedom of religion, and so on.
The Republican party had to stoop to things bordering on electoral rigging to win the 2000 election. What does borderline cheating have to do with freedom?
Saddam Hussein was left-wing???
Pol Pot??? Are you fucking SERIOUS???
Pol Pot was an anti-intellectual. He "cleansed" Cambodia of intellectuals, professors, or pretty much anyone with an education.
You know those right-wing 'tards who use "college boy" as an insult? Pol Pot was one of those given too much power.
Now fuck off and read a history book, you ignorant shit.
"Hitler was a left-wing Democrat"
And also an Atheist too, right?:

'Gott Mit Uns' translates as 'God With Us', for the hard of thinking. As Dr. Evil would say:

"The left has been responsible for more killing and dictators than any group who believes in small government and freedom like the right of the Republican party."
I guess you can also add God to the list of evil Democrat Left-wing scum:

He's a mass murderer too. The Old Testament proves it after all.
In a quandary? Stuck in a belief paradox? YOUGOTIT!
But look at all the fundamentalist Christian has in common with Hitler's plan. Racism, Christian leadership, protection and promotion and homosexual procecution.
The KKK and Aryan nation are tight with the religious right and segments of the Republican party. Facism, dictatorship or totalitarism are always present in Christian based idealologys.
Yes there are Christian free regimes of these beliefs and subjegation but they usually place their leaders in positions of Godhood and praise. History to date has no religious run democracies but many states of total annihilation of freedoms or rights.
What you like to call Liberal or left-wing is what created your constitution (after European examples)which after the lessons of the dark ages banned religious powers from ever ruling again. Hense an actual free Republic that idiots like you are forever trying to destroy in the name of your damn god and church
Could religion do a worse job of governing? You have,Many times.The history is not buried in an unseen past, it's documented from the Vatican to Salem. Christianities goal has been to rule all mankind for power and profit
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
