Oh, for the love of crumbcake, this is getting so creepy.

I have been saying for weeks that Jonah Goldberg's book Liberal Fascism has really helped my understanding of Barack Obama. I have pointed it out in three other posts:

Barack Obama is a 1920s-style fascist

Early 20th century "progressivism" has returned...

Barack Obama: I AM America


Every time I do, I think to myself, oh dear, this is going to sound overwrought. I do it anyways, because truth is truth, and the truth is that Barack Obama talks about himself and his plans in the same transcendent, populist, cult-of-personality terms as the fascists of the 20s and 30s.

And I don't want to sound like a broken record with Goldberg's book, but folks, he has done history a real service with it. He has pulled truths back into the light of day that, without his efforts, might have become irretrievably lost in the left's mists of revisionism. It informs our understanding of so much of our history . . . and it looks like it's going to be very helpful in understanding Barack Obama and what he might do with power.

"I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."

Democrats are trying to defend this, but there's no hiding the man's arrogance and will to power.

If I were to be elected president, I would try to follow in the footsteps of Washington, to see myself as a citizen with the awesome responsibility and great privilege of leading this amazing nation.

One gets the impression that it is Obama who sees himself as the leader that America would be privileged to have.

The struggle for the soul of America is happening on many fronts, and that's how we need to fight it. At Modern Conservative, we have a full-spectrum approach and a generational outlook. We're not just trying to win on a few issues, we're trying to move the entire country in the right direction. And we need your help to do it!

There are many activist networks, but AnyStreet goes much deeper. State, county, and precinct. Street by street in neighborhoods across America.

Activist teams are forming in areas across the country. Get connected. Get active. Changing America starts on your street!

Protests and rallies serve a purpose, and they sure are fun...but they can only do so much. Without policy initiatives and plans for implementation, all that great energy can go to waste.

Our think tank has got just the ticket, producing nationwide campaigns with achievable goals...for real results.

For too long, the left has had its way with our culture, suffusing it with propaganda, revisionism, and ugliness.

We need to do more than just complain. We need to offer resources, alternative choices, and alternative art communities... more
