I haven't really looked at that part of it.
Do we have a fascist party in the U.S.? Are they using the Republican party the same way the Socialist party uses the democrats?
How about it, Republicans? If it's true, those of us who are strong (and traditional) democrats will join you in that fight!
Patriotic democrats and patriotic republicans against fascists and socialists! That's I fight I could get into!

A socialist believes society should be supported by the government and that the "paying field" (not a typo) be made level. Democrats are similar in that they believe in a strong central government that takes care of all the people, whether they choose or want to work or not. That does not, however, mean that Democrats are socialists, it just means they are on the same "side" of the political spectrum (the socialists are to the "left" of most Democrats).
Facists believe in a strong central government that rules over the citizens because it knows best what they need. They want the trains to run on time, even if it means that some get run over by them. Facists, as is the case of Socialists, are on the "left" side of the political spectrum.
Republicans believe in a smaller government with more power given to the states and individual citizens, who they believe should take a more active role in ensuring their comfort, wealth, retirement, etc. They believe that the govt is not a sugar daddy and that if anyone wishes to suceed, they'd better get at it by studying, working, inventing, etc. Not standing in a welfare line. They believe that if you are sucessful, you should keep more of what you make and not have to give it to those who choose not to improve their lot in life. They believe in the right of the individual to decide what is right for them rather than a supreme court judge. They believe God was part of the original wording of the government and see no problem leaving it that way. We are a country where you are free to worship "how" you wish, but that doesn't mean promoting "any" religion is against the constitution, only the promoting of a "specific" religion is against the constitution.
So, a Facist would not be able to fool the Republicans, the Democrats or even Socialists, no matter which side they tried to run under (even though they are technically to the left).

Not in this lifetime and definitely not in this country. One of the wonderful things about America is the uncanny ability of the American people to recognize a socialist or a fascist. We have succeeded for 200 years without either ever coming anywhere near being elected. And, if by some chance such would occur, then we would rely on our Congressmen to right our mistake thru the impeachment process.

No. Fascists are people who use the coercive power of government and deadly force to take what they want. Communists are fascists. Hitler was one too, and he was a National Socialist. Fascism is merely a technique to attain power easily rather than dealing with the hassle of obtaining a John Locke legitimacy.
Therefore, it can be used by either side.

No. If you're a Socialist and you want to win, you go to France. If you a Fascist and you want to win, you're out of luck. Sorry!

If you want to see true socialism, go to Venezuela or Cuba. Our Dems our nowhere near that extreme. If you want to see facism, read about Germany and Italy during those times. Neither are our Rep near that extreme.

This is the most ignorant question I have ever heard. If you had a brain, you would realize that both parties are working toward the same goal, a NEW WORLD ORDER!

But if you've got the guts to stand up and say both parties suck, and run Independant, well, good for you.
Got a name for that?

That's correct. If you want your Constitutional rights back you vote for Ron Paul.

Wrong on both counts.
If you seriously think people are one or another, you need to meet more people.
