Why's My Bookbag So Durn Heavy?
(The short answer is because there are a lot of books in there.)
Pardon & Peace - Fr. RandolphSpeaking of Liberal Fascism, Jonah is engaging in Fascism-spotting. Back in May of '03, I received an email accusing Bush of fascism. My reply was:
American Sucker - David Denby
It's All About Him - Denise Jackson
Turning Back the Clock - Umberto Eco
Divine Mercy - Robert Stackpole
The Thought of Benedict XVI - Aidan Nichols
The Geography of Bliss - Eric Weiner
Liberal Fascism - Jonah Goldberg
"Since the dictionary definition of fascism is: 'Strict regulation and control of the economy by the regime through some form of corporatist economic planning in which the legal forms of private ownership of industry are nominally preserved but in which both workers and capitalists are obliged to submit their plans and objectives to the most detailed state regulation and extensive wage and price controls, which are designed to insure the priority of the political leadership's objectives over the private economic interests of the citizenry.' ...and since George Bush doesn't control wages and prices I guess he escapes the 'fascist' tag.
