The New Fascism

Is it my imagination or has the uber-left morphed into the “new fascism” that they’ve labelled the right with over the last several years? This doesn’t describe the majority of liberals, mind you, but it does seem to fit the bill for a large portion of the faction that currently controls the Democratic party.

These people have historically found people like Benito Mussolini, fascist dictator of Italy, to be heroic figures. Leaders like this who are currently in vogue include Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Fidel Castro of Cuba. You’d think that these guys were bonafide heroes of freedom the way some on the left speak of them. Leftist celebrities like Michael Moore, Kevin Spacey, Sean Penn, and Harry Belafonte have all been seen schmoozing it up with the South American dictator. Is there something about these guys that I’m just totally missing?

Then there’s the sick, hero worship-type youth choir for Obama. You can view the video at YouTube. This is just kind of freaky and bizarre. Then you’ve got the seeming throng of people who have referred to Obama as a savior, messiah, etc. It’s all just very strange and otherworldly, like we’ve moved back in time to the 1930s era Germany, only with a new face and name. This doesn’t mean that I’m referring to Obama as Hitler because I don’t believe that but all the adulation and praise being heaped upon him is just a bit over the top.
