I have several readers who send me news-related articles on a daily basis. Some of them funny, many of them concerning the shifting political winds and typically all of them bent toward conservatism.

O Canada … Justin Trudeau Puts Out The Welcome Mat For Democrats
Canada continues its rapid descent into open tyranny. Trudeau must be an inspiration to the Democrats. Hopefully they’ll find it so inspiring that they move to Canada and NEVER come back. The latest assault on human rights from Canada’s tin-plated, delusional, full-on facsist dictator Castreau:
Fighting for Its Life
Outnumbered and outgunned but the brave people of Ukraine are still fighting for their freedom and their national life. Massive Russian military forces are meeting heavy resistance, and the people of the world are inspired by their courage and patriotism.
Quick Thought – Do you live in a Fascaist Dictatorship?
It seems that almost all of the woke Democrats believe that Republicans, Conservatives, and Libertarians are fascists to the core. As well as all the other bad adjectives they feel compelled to throw at us.
An End To Presidential Term Limits?
“How come liberals never admit that they’re liberal? They’ve now come up with a new word called ‘progressive,’ which I thought was an insurance company but apparently it’s a label.” —Marco Rubio
Obstinate continuance in a particular course of action despite ongoing and continued opposition encapsulates the very definition of Persistence. Such is the case of Representative Jose Enrique Serrano, a DemocRAT , representing New York’s 15th South Bronx District.
As Fox News Reports, Serrano proposes the constitutional amendment ending presidential term limits. The resolution dates back 15 years Serrano bringing it forth with each foray into public life.
I would be remiss if I neglected to mention that Señor Serrano is a member of
Notable Quote: Hayek On Collectivist Doctrine
“…the paradox of all collectivist doctrine and its demand for ‘conscious’ control or ‘conscious’ planning is that they necessarily lead to the demand that the mind of some individual should rule supreme” – FA Hayek
Notable Quote: Stages Towards Planning
“The belief is becoming more and more widespread that, if things are to get done, the responsible authorities must be freed from the fetters of democratic procedure. The cry for an economic dictator is a characteristic stage in the movement toward planning…” –FA Hayek
A would-be dictator
I swear. We’ve got a Presidency that is descending into a parody of a South American caudillo bidding for permanent power. Obama has put into operation a “public enemies list” where the President attacks wealthy donors to the Romney campaign. It serves to intimidate those people from donating any more, and it warns others who might otherwise consider donating to Romney…if they give money they may get put on the President’s “public enemies list.” According to Kimberley Strassel in today’s Wall Street Journal, the public enemies list…
Liberals promote Government Not Liberty
To the Editor,
Leo Sandy’s December 11th letter in the Laconia Daily Sun shows how commonly understood terms can be used to mislead people.
While each form of government has a unique aspects, the key issue is government‘s authority over people. At one end of a spectrum are governments which have absolute control over citizens, where, in practice, people have no rights (despite perhaps a showpiece Constitution). If you are arrested and executed or your property taken without a real trial, it doesn’t matter if the government calls itself a dictatorship, Kingdom, Socialist, Fascist, National Socialist (Nazi), Democracy, Republic, Communist, etc.
Would it make any difference if you were being murdered by Hitler, along with about 10 million, or Stalin, with about 20 million, or Mao, with 80 million fellow citizens (or Che or Fidel who killed thousands)? Each murderer claiming it was for “the good of the people“.
At the other end of the spectrum is no government, anarchy, where people have total freedom. Anarchy never lasts long, strongmen normally take total control over people. (Our Constitution defines a government intended to ensure each person’s freedom except when it infringes on another’s freedom and leaving ultimate control of government in the hands of the people not government officials.)
Whether you want to put Fascism on the left or right of the spectrum, it sits with other dictatorships, Communist, Socialist, Nazi, (traditional) Kingdoms, etc., and these forms of government are opposed by all American Conservatives, “right wingers”.
The American supporters and admirers of Socialist and Communist governments are liberals. They will quibble over definitions, ownership of the means of production, etc., but from the standpoint of average citizen’s rights versus the government, there is no meaningful difference between Communism and Fascism.
