Interestingly people associate the right with fascism when it actually grew out of the international liberal or socialist movement in europe in the 1930's. They differred in one important way. The liberals were internationalists and the fascists were nationalists or patriotic. The left dispite their protestations see patriotism as a greater problem than fascism's other qualities. And to clear up one other point, George Bush is a free trader, Obama is a one-worlder. There's a difference.
