That's funny, somebody just told me yesterday that the Tea Party is Fascist.
Well, you must be patient whith such dimwits, David. Besides, there is more evidence of past and recent communist, racist and anti-semite presences among the left in America (and in the Democrat Party) and elsewhere than there is - it just wouldn't make sense - of fascists among the Tea partiers. In fact I think that a cursory review of the ideological fundamentals will reveal striking similarities between the things believed by the above mentioned dimwits and the Brown Shirts, rather than between the latter and the Tea Party movement:
General favor of ever increasing government control:
a) Nazi: check; b) liberals who hate the Tea Party: check, C) Tea Party: forget it
Higher appreciation for government regulations than concerns for private property rights:a)check, b)check, c)forget it
Gov't run health care/single payer system: a)check, b)check, c)forget it
Rejection of natural law as basis of the law:
a)check, b)check, c)forget it
Constitutions as "living and breathing" documents that "evolve" and "adapt" at will:
a)check, b)check, c)forget it
Enviro/animalist hysteria wanting laws regulating how much sugar you can have in your soft-drinks, what you can put in your sandwiches, what light bulbs you can purchase and so forth:
a) check b) check c) forget it
Welfare State:a)check b)check c) forget it
More easily found bashing/endangering the US military, Israel, the west in general than Al Qaeda, Hamas, Iran and totalitarian states in general:
a)check b)check c) forget it
Record of voter intimidation/frauda)check b)check c) forget it
On family and life issues, are peaceful pro-life and family Christians more likely to be found among a) Nazis b) Liberals who hate the tea party and their union thugs (the "Purple shirts") c) the Tea Party?
Pro-abortion/euthanasia/crazy experiment supporters more likely to be found among:
a) nazis b) liberals who hate the Tea Party c) Tea Party?
Overall being a form of/tending to socialism:
a) check b) check c) forget it
General hostility towards Christianity:
a) check b) check c) forget it
But back to these anti-Catholic democrat fliers: people who might be offended by them are more likely to be found among:
a) Minnesota nazis, b) Minnesota democrats c) Minnesota Tea Partiers?
To paraphrase the immortal words of John Belushi/Jake Blues (the Osservatore Romano will be happy now):
I hate Minnesota nazis
