Conservanazis - A Response to Jonah Goldberg's Book "Liberal Fascism"

Rush Limbaugh began all this crap twenty years ago with the term feminazi. He stole the word from a caller in the late 1980’s when he was in Sacramento working for KFBK. This is the station where he gained his popularity by laughing and cheering as he read off names of gay men who had died of AIDS. A fine example of what conservatives consider good character and a role model for our children.

Pundits left and right complain of the nazi suffix - but beyond feminists and fictional soup restaurants - it’s conservatives who scream the loudest when on the receiving end of it. For good cause I should say - after all - those laughing and cheering over the horrible death of homosexual AIDS patients is far more akin to Nazism than women’s suffrage. Let’s take a quick look at what Nazi Fascism was actually about:

· Nationalism
· Militarism
· Pre-emptive War
· Flag waving
· My Country Right or Wrong
· Extreme Right-wing Radio Propaganda
· War Rallies
· Intolerance
· Racism
· Bigotry
· Homophobia
· Intimidation
· Law and Order!
· Largest prison system in the world
· Anti-Communism
· Murdering Jews

Fifteen out of sixteen should honk anyone’s horn. Contrary to the name National Socialist Party, fascism had nothing to do with socialism and everything to do with nationalism. When the Nazis came to power they made labor unions illegal, imprisoned socialists and communists and intimidated liberals, educators, the intelligentsia, homosexuals, Jews and immigrants with such unyielding assault propaganda that the majority of people in Germany succumbed to that conservative media blitz until such groups were so demonized that millions were made into soap.

The suffix relates primarily to denying rights to others based on race, ethnicity, politics, religion, and sexual orientation with an overriding culture of nationalism, militarism, exclusion, xenophobia and hate. The question that beats upon me is why the American people so easily accept conservatives taking this low road of polemics while the few liberals kicking it back in like manner are vilified and sent to their rooms for a timeout.

The line between Conservative and Conservanazi is hazy as both stem from the same selfish - bigoted - intolerant nature. The best way to find which is which is next time a conservative friend or acquaintance finishes one of their horrible harangues - when they are done wiping the spittle from their chins - ask them if they have a clue as to what selfish intolerant bigots they are presenting themselves to be. If they lose control of their bowels or urinary tract - physically attack you - or stick a gun up your nose - check for Swastikas on their ass.
