Bill O’Reilly: BillOReilly.com Column – Dropping The Other ‘F Bomb’
Don’t like a politician? Just describe him or her with the ‘f’ word. Fascist, that is. Maybe Bernie Sanders, who wants onerous taxation and an all-powerful federal government, qualifies as a fascist. How about Barack Obama, who set up a big-government monstrosity that forces Americans to purchase health insurance?But of course, the truth is that people on the left are rarely described as fascists, no matter what they do. Liberals have hijacked that word and regularly use it as a cudgel with which to beat their political opponents.Italian dictator Benito Mussolini named his Fascist Party after an ancient Latin word, which literally meant a ‘bundle of rods.’ One rod might break, but when bundled together they were far more powerful.One definition of fascism comes from Fox News regular Jonah Goldberg, who wrote a book on the subject: ‘Fascism is the view,’ he explained, ‘that every nook and cranny of society should work together toward the same goals overseen by the state.’ Sounds like a working definition of socialism, doesn’t it?
