From his book review of Dinesh
D'Sousa's latest, Washington Times columnist Michael Taube gets it
wrong. Mr. Taube's article title incorrectly proclaims, “Fascists
to the right, fascists to the left”. Yet, the whole point of “The
Big Lie: Exposing the Nazi Roots of the American Left” is to
clarify that Nazism/Fascism/Socialism are political movements
exclusive to the left. In other words, despite this scribe's
misleading assertion, they are never of the political right. Want an
example of a “radical” right-wing group? Try the Tea Party!
To be fair, Mr. Taube touches on Ronald
Reagan's famous “60 Minutes” quote from 1975, “If fascism ever
comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.” But what
else did “The Gipper” say that this reviewer vitally left out? To
continue with Mr. Reagan's now prophetic words:
“And what is fascism? Fascism is
private ownership—private enterprise—but total government control
and regulation. Well isn't this the liberal philosophy? The
conservative, so-called, is the one that says less government—get
off my back, get out of my pocket—and let me have more control of
my own destiny.”
Put simply, these three sister
philosophies of big government cannot be of the right. On a related
matter, President Trump cannot be a fascist or a socialist because he
is a deregulating, unapologetic capitalist! Likewise, he can't be a
Nazi either because he is, for example, staunchly pro-Israel. Indeed,
Mr. Trump’s “America First” policies of economic
self-determination—and his outspoken refutation of liberals and the
MSM—define him as a true patriot in our tumultuous modern age.
