    Religion and government are intertwined? Not really. In fact, except for Romania I can't think of a single fascist state where that was the case. Digging a little further we find:

    8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

    IOW, religion and government are not "intertwined". lol
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Most, not all, of the OP describes Obama very well! Military and defense are examples what Obama is against, rather than for.

    Let's break it down.

    They hate commies: (anyone who advocates ANY type of social policy whatsoever, is a commie)

    COMPLETELY Xenophobic: (any shade of brown? You are at least watched carefully, if not outright openly hated)

    Fanatical about their own brand of Abrahamic Faith: (Jews barely get a pass on this one, barely)

    Individual liberty is state controlled: (No abortion, no gay marriage, no freedom of religion that isn't theirs, if it is theirs, how dare the government even try and curb their beliefs!)

    Totally fine with torturing enemies of the state, even if it gets them nothing in return.

    The right is so far to the right of fascism, when they tell you that fascists are left wing, compared to them, it's true. To this group of conservatives, fascists, are tree hugging hippies. These guys would openly call Josef Mengele a liberal do gooding pansy.

    This is actually a pertinent remark. Indeed, if it is not in the very logic of liberal individualism that all mediating bodies between the state and the individual must disappear that has historically been the effect. That is to say that individualism and increased state activity are positively correlated.

    What a load of bull$#@!. "Obsession" with crime and punishment is a sign of fascism? I'm sorry, should we NOT be concerned about crime?

    Nationalism is a sign of fascism?

    How many fascist states had religion and government intertwined?

    "Obsession" with national security? Should we not give a $#@! about national security?

    Jesus, this is the stupidest thing I've seen posted in a long time.

    True for the sort of individualism based on collective egalitarianism, the sort that tramples individual rights to private property and voluntary association and contract for entitlements invented by the state. The sort of individualism that recognizes those rights also recognizes, even if only in a consequentialist view, the value of family, religion and other social institutions as standing between the individual and the state.
    Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler

    Nationalism is a huge component of fascism. Patriotism is one thing, nationalism is another.

    Heavy handed focus on crime and punishment is also a characteristic of fascism.

    I'm just sayin...I've read posts here that are much more stupid.
