Fascism is much more a product of the political left than the right, historically speaking. That does NOT mean that all modern progressives or Liberals are fascists. But fascism is a natural by-product when we ignore the Constitutional restrictions on the proper role of government whether from the right or the left.
Geo. Bush's Compassionate Conservatism had some fascistic tendencies, but he was hardly what anyone would call a Conservative.
Also Fascism in America will not look like Italian Fascism or German fascism; we are a different people, and our version will look much kinder and gentler.
