Fascism and Progressives: An Intimate Relationship

---

The first fascist nation was right here, in America, under the first Progressive President.
1. Here, ....check Woodrow Wilson's America:
a. Had the world’s first modern propaganda ministry
b. Political prisoners by the thousands were harassed, beaten, spied upon and thrown in jail for simply expressing private opinions.
c. The national leader accused foreigners and immigrants of injecting treasonous ‘poison’ into the American bloodstream
d. Newspapers and magazines were closed for criticizing the government
e. Almost 100,000 government propaganda agents were sent out to whip up support for the regime and the war
f. College professors imposed loyalty oaths on their colleagues
g. Nearly a quarter million ‘goons’ were given legal authority to beat and intimidate ‘slackers’ and dissenters
h. Leading artists and writers dedicated their work to proselytizing for the government.
2. Americans of the era saw it as such....and expelled the Democrats/Progressives/Liberals
They were thoroughly rejected by the voters in the election of 1920:
“The United States presidential election of 1920 was dominated by the aftermath of World War I and the hostile reaction to Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic president. Harding's victory remains the largest popular-vote percentage margin (60.3% to 34.1%) in Presidential elections after the so-called "Era of Good Feelings" ended with the victory of James Monroe in the election of 1820. ” United States presidential election, 1920 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“In the 1920 election, he and his running-mate, Calvin Coolidge, defeated Democrat and fellow Ohioan James M. Cox, in what was then the largest presidential popular vote landslide in American history since the popular vote tally began to be recorded in 1824: 60.36% to 34.19%.” Warren G. Harding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
3. Obama- using the IRS against political enemies, spying on every citizen, assuming the rights of the legislative branch.....pretty much the textbook definition of a fascist regime.
4. Now this:
a. "Big chill: Feds want to scour Net, media for 'hate speech'
b. If two Democratic lawmakers have their way, Barack Obama’s Justice Department will submit a report for action against any Internet sites, broadcast, cable television or radio shows determined to be advocating or encouraging “violent acts.”
c. ....calls for the Justice Department and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to “analyze information on the use of telecommunications, including the Internet, broadcast television and radio, cable television, public access television, commercial mobile services, and other electronic media, to advocate and encourage violent acts and the commission of crimes of hate.”
d.The bill does not define which actions by broadcasters would be considered to have encouraged violence, seemingly leaving that open to interpretation.
e. The Boston Herald took issue with the bill, calling it “frankly chilling”....seeking to “empower an obscure federal agency to begin scouring the Internet, TV and radio for speech it finds threatening.”
