Fascists and Nazis were nationalist, corporatist crazies. Left-wing socialists are neither nationalists nor corporatists. As always when discussing Nazism, emphasis should be rendered on the first term: we are not talking about National SOCIALISTS, but rather NATIONAL socialists. Socialism exists on the right and the left, and when it is in defense of a traditional racial or social composition and an organic, corporate hierarchy (as we see in fascism and, to a lesser extent, in Burke) most historians call it a right-wing phenomenon. I know you and Goldberg disagree, but that is that in a nut-shell.

I will find out who you are. And when I do, I will hum Lady Gaga to you.

Heather- After watching the video BoUNCe used for the forum, I was struck that the funniest part was dropping the "f bomb". Is this a junior high organization that's part of a campus outreach or something?

Leif Eirikson has a much funnier fake campaign than Nash does.

" I would vote for an open socialist if he promised to get control of the border and place a moratorium on immigration."

Yes, I'm sure many YWC folks would vote for the first National Socialist they saw on a ballot.

Grand New Party was one of the most exciting books I've read in the past few years, truly innovative in its perspective, and I see none of the ideas incorporated into mainstream conservatism. At the GOP's peril, no less.

The Weekly Standard makes me want to die. NR is okay. Honestly, all of my favorite conservative writers are with The Atlantic, so I don't horse around with any of the others any more.

Like I said, I was too harsh. Each member of CR is a sparkling, unique jewel, undoubtedly, and it's unfair to presume that because you are young, you don't have the perspective necessary to interpret The Events Of The Day. Truth be told, when I wrote the first post I was in a sour mood because of Crowder's excessive Lady Gaga humming.

But still, I hold to my original point. I think it's strange that the CR folks are so harsh on the people who want to run for Student Body President when really, both groups are similar in motivations, effectiveness, and usefulness.

I mean, do you really think this campaign is a Carolina Review stunt? As Chief of Staff, I know these stats, and we have had about 50 people working on this campaign in some capacity. Of those, less than 10 are current or former Review staff.
