I'm not a real liberal because I'm not as hyperbolic as you are...

the simple point that I am making is that it is gross exaggeration to call the current state of America Fascist. It is also wrong to say that your ordinary republican would support a Fascist state, at least in my opinion.

"You see, so far as I'm concerned, the fascists that we are referring to are not the Republicans or the Conservatives so much as an ELITE who have the wealth and power to use the National Security State infrastructure to manipulate economic, political and military force. "

That's exactly what I mean. I wasn't arguing that there aren't powerful people behind the scenes of republican politics who have some goals that are disturbingly Fascistic. You bypass completely the arguement I am trying to make. And then of course, you label me not a real liberal. To use some hyperbole of my own, this is McCarthyist.
