I have to wonder - what twisted reality is this person living in that nazism and fascism are somehow part of the dialogue? Where exactly are these nazis and fascists and what exactly are they doing?

I never see anyone claiming to be a nazi or a fascist but I do quite frequently see people openly supporting communism and bashing capitalism. And these self proclaimed communists tend to act more and more like the fascists they pretend to be so afraid of.

Strange times we live in. Strange times indeed.

It seems like these days there are some people who just label anything they don't agree with as Hitler/Nazi/Fascist. A few years ago there was a woman standing in front of my local post office holding a sign that had a picture of Obama's face with a Hitler mustache on it and she was saying he was a Nazi. When I asked her what she meant she went off on a rant about how Obama and Hitler basically had the same agenda (she was pissed about Obamacare) so, therefore, Obama was Nazi. Just to mess with her I asked how he could be a Nazi when he was clearly a Muslim. . . she just looked at me like a spring in her head had snapped.
