Fascism With A Smiley Face II

clipped from hotair.com

While there were skeptics in August, 1971, there were a great many who thought “temporary” wage and price controls could cure inflation. By 1974, this notion was thoroughly discredited, and attention gradually turned toward a monetary approach to inflation.


Funnily enough, ObamaCare is also a reenactment of Nixon’s own attempt to take over health care. For these two policies and many others (such as his “enemies list” and frequent attempts to control the press), I insist that Richard Nixon — like Lyndon Johnson, Franklin Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson — was also a liberal fascist. Barack Obama clings to the coattails of a well-established (albeit perverse and unAmerican) tradition.
