Rusty...I never said I like Obama or that I believed much of his "change" rhetoric (not that it really matters, since he and I belong to different countries); I simply believe him to be the lesser of the two evils who ran. And before blaming him for the "Soviet-style collapse", let's not forget that said collapse began under a Republican administration.

While liberal fascism may in fact be a very real phenomenon (believe me, the bullshit inherent in mainstream liberalism makes me sick at times, too), but it in no way reflects my beliefs. I'm all for obeying a constitution, the government mostly minding its own business (but economic interference is necessary to stop corporations from pillaging the world), etc. I don't believe in any of the repression you associate with liberalism...what, may I ask, is even remotely fascist about being anti-war and anti-prohibition? I would genuinely like for you to explain to me how my views are oppressive and fascist. Or maybe that's just a kneejerk reaction you have to all ideas contrary to neo-conservative interventionism?

P.S., what's with all the "support the troops" talk? I support them by advocating that they be brought back home in one piece, before it's too late. I certainly don't want more fine young men to die so they can have a lovely heroic time playing soldiers and get their five minutes of posthumous glory. "Protecting values"...what about the values of other cultures? They're no less relevent, despite the narcissistic Manifest Destiny thinking that's still frighteningly ubiquitous.
