Fascism in Italy was the elder brother of National Socialism in Germany. Italy was a totally Catholic country and Mussolini had the overt support of the Catholic Church. Franco's fascist Falange in Spain was similarly supported by the Catholic Church as were fascist regimes in Latin America. Christian fascism, far from an oxymoron, has actually been the norm. Here in the USA Joe McCarthy had the guidance as well as the active support of the Catholic Church and while the RCC today is more influenced by the "preferential option" it remains, as do almost all branches of Christianity, authoritarian and patriarchal, a common bond with fascism. To date at least, the Trump whirligig of government formation has by passed the religious right and focused on other conservative groups. This reflects the new reality that evangelical Christians are more committed to secular social and economic issues than they were a generation ago. What will happen when the SCOTUS issue relights the torch of Roe vs. Wade remains to be seen. |

Us dummies just outsmarted you and all the other self proclaimed smart people a week ago Tuesday. And the irony is ...we told you how and why we were going to do it and you people (yes you people) still missed it. And we are the dumb ones...??? Edited by clone, Nov 18 2016, 05:15 PM.

Only liberals can choose not to go down the road to widespread, systematic violence. | |

The SCOTUS were for Jim Crow laws before they were against it...Many of the most cherished liberal court decisions in more recent decades are subject to biting the dust in the next four years..............

Trump lost the popular vote. Fifty-five thousand popular votes precisely distributed and he would have lost the EC vote as well. This happened in an election where a majority of voters did not vote for a presidential candidate. Trump has zero chips in the real power base of the Republican Party. He has zero political experience. He is going nowhere. He will be a puppet president like the Decider was. The bitter rednecks who voted for him have been suckered just as they were suckered by Ronald Reagan. The real question is: what alliances will control the new Congress when it gets rolling this winter? |

Its easier to just start mocking the Clinton campaign. Atta should start tweeting that he has evidence that will put Hillary in prison. He'll end up with 17 bullets in the back of the head - suicide. Edited by estonianman, Nov 19 2016, 04:21 PM.
