Featured Resource: Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg

I've decided to do an article series from time to time that will feature some type of resource that will help educate Conservatives on the issues, history, and current events.

That being said the first resource I would like to recommend is "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg. This book was a fantastic look at the true roots of modern day liberalism and the ties it has to fascism and Nazism. Now let me clarify right off the bat that this book is not saying that modern day liberals are Nazis! The author is not by any means stating that liberals like Obama are evil or doing evil works even remotely in the same league as those committed by Hitler. What it is saying is that many of the ideologies, views, and thoughts are very similar to those held by the Nazi Party and other fascist governments.

The whole reason Goldberg decided to write this book was as an answer to the charge made by liberals that all Conservatives and folks on the Right are fascists. So far I've not fallen victim to this myself, although I have been called a racist (typical ploy used by liberals to completely avoid answering questions or facts presented about the issues being discussed). The author takes us on a journey through history, (a history conveniently left out of most school textbooks) to show us that it is not those on the right who have connections to fascism, but the left!

Goldberg starts making his argument by discussing the life and times of Mussolini and ends with an in depth look at Hillary Clinton and the New Age. The author weaves a solid argument with loads of evidence that proves over the course of the book that many ideas central to the liberal train of thought are indeed fascist in origin. One of the most disturbing of these is the connection of liberalism to the dark art of eugenics. That particular chapter of the book almost made me throw up in my mouth a little. I was truly disgusted.

This book is 405 pages (not including the acknowledgments) which is pretty lengthy. In certain spots the book does tend to lag a bit here in there due to the inclusion of necessary details that help connect the beliefs of fascism to the line of thinking held by modern day liberals.

I'm not going to go into any real details about the book itself because that would defeat the purpose of reading the book for yourself. Reading this book was at times quite eerie. Many of the horrifying policies of the early liberals are still being pushed by modern liberals, with the only difference being that modern liberalism tends to hide its true intentions better.

Definitely get a copy of this book and take a look at what liberals tried to sweep under the rug.
