Just saw a pre-screening of Dinesh D’Souza’s new movie tonight – at a fundraiser for Michigan’s next governor (!!) Patrick Colbeck. Death of a Nation exposes the undeniable philosophical ties between fascism and the progressive left ~
Go see it. And bring your favorite leftie ~

Looking over a few mainstream – clearly left-leaning – reviews of the film, it’s pretty clear that the critics either didn’t actually watch it – or are so indoctrinated in faux-history they’re delusional. They claim there’s no basis for D’Souza’s assertion that progressivism and fascism are just different manifestations of the same basic philosophy. But any honest evaluation of the historical facts, i.e., how those worldviews have ravaged humanity over the last two centuries, would have to acknowledge, not just the obvious similarities between those two ideologies, but their stark contrast with conservatism ~

All men aren’t created equal | All men are created equal | |
Our rights come from government | Our rights come from God | |
Individuals are incapable of self-government. Corollary: government knows better than you how to spend your money |
We should be free to govern ourselves; enjoy the fruits of our own labor, control our own destiny | |
The 1st Amendment should only apply to those who think correctly | The 1st Amendment applies unequivocally to all Americans | |
