Essential Weekend Reading: "Fascism on Ascendancy"

Joseph Farah nails it in his most recent WorldNetDaily column titled, Fascism on ascendancy. This is a very important piece. What is happening here and abroad politically and economically should be motivating us to action like no other time in our lives. Instead it seems the masses are apathetically kicking back thinking that "the government" will take care of the never ending problems du jour. And the problems keep mounting.

Tragically, it's the government that causes the unsurmountable problems for industry via hyper-regulation and confiscatory taxation to the point where business can no longer operate properly. That's when politicians really shine. They then take the opportunity to grab the spotlight, blame capitalism and take control or plunder the industry when they can no longer afford to stay in business. Big Govt becomes bigger and gains more control over our lives.

But I digress.

Here's a preview of Farah's editorial:

If you want to understand where this crazy world is headed under the direction of a global elite, I can tell you.

The destination is called fascism – a controlled and managed mixed economy with authoritarian central leadership, this time on a global scale.

The latest issue of Foreign Policy magazine quotes one of the neo-intellectuals of this movement, Francis Fukuyama, as explaining, "The leader I most admire in the 20th century is Deng Xiaoping, who was able to totally change the Chinese economic system because he understood that communism didn't work. What he did was throw aside ideological presuppositions. I worry that Americans are not prepared to think in those terms about their own policies and institutions."

That's right. That's Deng Xiaoping of Tiananmen Square fame, the Communist who transitioned China into fascism.

It's startling to understand how much the new globalists love the new China – the China with no personal freedoms, no inalienable rights and a command-and-control economy in which a few members of the elite are permitted to attain great wealth.

There's more and you need to be sure to read the rest of his piece. He's right on.

Remember how quickly Obama heaped praise on China during the Olympics? That's the stereotypical viewpoint of the leftist elitists. They love dictatorships! Castro is a hero to the left.

Why are so many Americans accepting of this destructive philosophy? Could it be the relentless drumbeat of the left? Could it be the Big Government Indoctrination Centers some people refer to as schools?

Yes, it's that and more. It could also be that many people are just weary of well doing and tired of the fight.

Our American way of life is at a dangerous crossroads. We're going to lose it if enough people don't take a stand against those who wish to change it (there's that word again!)

Here's what fascism looks like. Does the First Amendment ring a bell? Here's another hair raising example of fascism. How's that for "hope and change?"

Mark Steyn has a good piece which addresses Obama's abuse of power. which is pretty scary considering he doesn't have any yet. If he can do this as a candidate, what kind of president would he be? See Steyn's piece here.
