Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning

Available on Compatible NOOK Devices and the free NOOK Apps.
Liberal Fascism offers a startling new perspective on the theories and practices that define fascist politics. Replacing conveniently manufactured myths with surprising and enlightening research, Jonah Goldberg reminds us that the original fascists were really on the left, and that liberals from Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Hillary Clinton have advocated policies and principles remarkably similar to those of Hitler's National Socialism and Mussolini's Fascism.
Contrary to what most people think, the Nazis were ardent socialists (hence the term "National socialism"). They believed in free health care and guaranteed jobs. They confiscated inherited wealth and spent vast sums on public education. They purged the church from public policy, promoted a new form of pagan spirituality, and inserted the authority of the state into every nook and cranny of daily life. The Nazis declared war on smoking, supported abortion, euthanasia, and gun control. They loathed the free market, provided generous pensions for the elderly, and maintained a strict racial quota system in their universities—where campus speech codes were all the rage. The Nazis led the world in organic farming and alternative medicine. Hitler was a strict vegetarian, and Himmler was an animal rights activist.
Do these striking parallels mean that today's liberals are genocidal maniacs, intent on conquering the world and imposing a new racial order? Not at all. Yet it is hard to deny that modern progressivism and classical fascism shared the same intellectual roots. We often forget, for example, that Mussolini and Hitler had many admirers in the United States. W.E.B. Du Bois was inspired by Hitler's Germany, and Irving Berlin praised Mussolini in song. Many fascist tenets were espoused by American progressives like John Dewey and Woodrow Wilson, and FDR incorporated fascist policies in the New Deal.
Fascism was an international movement that appeared in different forms in different countries, depending on the vagaries of national culture and temperament. In Germany, fascism appeared as genocidal racist nationalism. In America, it took a "friendlier," more liberal form. The modern heirs of this "friendly fascist" tradition include the New York Times, the Democratic Party, the Ivy League professoriate, and the liberals of Hollywood. The quintessential Liberal Fascist isn't an SS storm trooper; it is a female grade school teacher with an education degree from Brown or Swarthmore.
These assertions may sound strange to modern ears, but that is because we have forgotten what fascism is. In this angry, funny, smart, contentious book, Jonah Goldberg turns our preconceptions inside out and shows us the true meaning of Liberal Fascism.

The Father of Fascism
You're the top!
You're the Great Houdini!
You're the top!
You are Mussolini!
—An early version of the Cole Porter song "You're the Top" (1)
IF YOU WENT solely by what you read in the New York Times or the New York Review of Books, or what you learned from Hollywood, you could be forgiven for thinking that Benito Mussolini came to power around the same time as Adolf Hitler—or even a little bit later—and that Italian Fascism was merely a tardy, watered–down version of Nazism. Germany passed its hateful race policies—the Nuremberg Laws—in 1935, and Mussolini's Italy followed suit in 1938. German Jews were rounded up in 1942, and Jews in Italy were rounded up in 1943. A few writers will casually mention, in parenthetical asides, that until Italy passed its race laws there were actually Jews serving in the Italian government and the Fascist Party. And on occasion you'll notice a nod to historical accuracy indicating that the Jews were rounded up only after the Nazis had invaded northern Italy and created a puppet government in Salo. But such inconvenient facts are usually skipped over as quickly as possible. More likely, your understanding of these issues comes from such sources as the Oscar–winning film Life Is Beautiful, (2) which can be summarized as follows: Fascism arrived in Italy and, a few months later, so did the Nazis, who carted off the Jews. As for Mussolini, he was a bombastic, goofy–looking, but highly effective dictator who made the trains run on time.
All of this amounts to playing the movie backward. By the time Italy reluctantly passed its shameful race laws—which it never enforced with even a fraction of the barbarity shown by the Nazis—over 75 percent of Italian Fascism's reign had already transpired. A full sixteen years elapsed between the March on Rome and the passage of Italy's race laws. To start with the Jews when talking about Mussolini is like starting with FDR's internment of the Japanese: it leaves a lot of the story on the cutting room floor. Throughout the 1920s and well into the 1930s, fascism meant something very different from Auschwitz and Nuremberg. Before Hitler, in fact, it never occurred to anyone that fascism had anything to do with anti–Semitism. Indeed, Mussolini was supported not only by the chief rabbi of Rome but by a substantial portion of the Italian Jewish community (and the world Jewish community). Moreover, Jews were overrepresented in the Italian Fascist movement from its founding in 1919 until they were kicked out in 1938.
Race did help turn the tables of American public opinion on Fascism. But it had nothing to do with the Jews. When Mussolini invaded Ethiopia, Americans finally started to turn on him. In 1934 the hit Cole Porter song "You're the Top" engendered nary a word of controversy over the line "You are Mussolini!" When Mussolini invaded that poor but noble African kingdom the following year, it irrevocably marred his image, and Americans decided they had had enough of his act. It was the first war of conquest by a Western European nation in over a decade, and Americans were distinctly unamused, particularly liberals and blacks. Still, it was a slow process. The Chicago Tribune initially supported the invasion, as did reporters like Herbert Matthews. Others claimed it would be hypocritical to condemn it. The New Republic—then in the thick of its pro–Soviet phase—believed it would be "naive" to blame Mussolini when the real culprit was international capitalism. And more than a few prominent Americans continued to support him, although quietly. The poet Wallace Stevens, for example, stayed pro–Fascist. "I am pro–Mussolini, personally," he wrote to a friend. "The Italians," he explained, "have as much right to take Ethiopia from the coons as the coons had to take it from the boa–constrictors." (3) But over time, largely due to his subsequent alliance with Hitler, Mussolini's image never recovered.
That's not to say he didn't have a good ride.
In 1923 the journalist Isaac F. Marcosson wrote admiringly in the New York Times that "Mussolini is a Latin [Teddy] Roosevelt who first acts and then inquires if it is legal. He has been of great service to Italy at home." (4) The American Legion, which has been for nearly its entire history a great and generous American institution, was founded the same year as Mussolini's takeover and, in its early years, drew inspiration from the Italian Fascist movement. "Do not forget," the legion's national commander declared that same year, "that the Fascisti are to Italy what the American Legion is to the United States." (5)
In 1926 the American humorist Will Rogers visited Italy and interviewed Mussolini. He told the New York Times that Mussolini was "some Wop." "I'm pretty high on that bird." Rogers, whom the National Press Club had informally dubbed "Ambassador–at–Large of the United States," wrote up the interview for the Saturday Evening Post. He concluded, "Dictator form of government is the greatest form of government: that is if you have the right Dictator." (6) In 1927 the Literary Digest conducted an editorial survey asking the question: "Is there a dearth of great men?" The person named most often to refute the charge was Benito Mussolini—followed by Lenin, Edison, Marconi, and Orville Wright, with Henry Ford and George Bernard Shaw tying for sixth place. In 1928 the Saturday Evening Post glorified Mussolini even further, running an eight–part autobiography written by Il Duce himself. The series was gussied up into a book that gained one of the biggest advances ever given by an American publisher.
And why shouldn't the average American think Mussolini was anything but a great man? Winston Churchill had dubbed him the world's greatest living lawgiver. Sigmund Freud sent Mussolini a copy of a book he co–wrote with Albert Einstein, inscribed, "To Benito Mussolini, from an old man who greets in the Ruler, the Hero of Culture." The opera titans Giacomo Puccini and Arturo Toscanini were both pioneering Fascist acolytes of Mussolini. Toscanini was an early member of the Milan circle of Fascists, which conferred an aura of seniority not unlike being a member of the Nazi Party in the days of the Beer Hall Putsch. Toscanini ran for the Italian parliament on a Fascist ticket in 1919 and didn't repudiate Fascism until twelve years later. (7)
Mussolini was a particular hero to the muckrakers—those progressive liberal journalists who famously looked out for the little guy. When Ida Tarbell, the famed reporter whose work helped break up Standard Oil, was sent to Italy in 1926 by McCall's to write a series on the Fascist nation, the U.S. State Department feared that this "pretty red radical" would write nothing but "violent anti–Mussolini articles." Their fears were misplaced. Tarbell was wooed by the man she called "a despot with a dimple," praising his progressive attitude toward labor. Similarly smitten was Lincoln Steffens, another famous muckraker, who is today perhaps dimly remembered for being the man who returned from the Soviet Union declaring, "I have been over into the future, and it works." Shortly after that declaration, he made another about Mussolini: God had "formed Mussolini out of the rib of Italy." As we'll see, Steffens saw no contradiction between his fondness for Fascism and his admiration of the Soviet Union. Even Samuel McClure, the founder of McClure's Magazine, the home of so much famous muckraking, championed Fascism after visiting Italy. He hailed it as "a great step forward and the first new ideal in government since the founding of the American Republic." (8)
Meanwhile, almost all of Italy's most famous and admired young intellectuals and artists were Fascists or Fascist sympathizers (the most notable exception was the literary critic Benedetto Croce). Giovanni Papini, the "magical pragmatist" so admired by William James, was deeply involved in the various intellectual movements that created Fascism. Papini's Life of Christ—a turbulent, almost hysterical tour de force chronicling his acceptance of Christianity—caused a sensation in the United States in the early 1920s. Giuseppe Prezzolini, a frequent contributor to the New Republic who would one day become a respected professor at Columbia University, was one of Fascism's earliest literary and ideological architects. F. T. Marinetti, the founder of the Futurist movement—which in America was seen as an artistic companion to Cubism and Expressionism—was instrumental in making Italian Fascism the world's first successful "youth movement." America's education establishment was keenly interested in Italy's "breakthroughs" under the famed "schoolmaster" Benito Mussolini, who, after all, had once been a teacher.
Perhaps no elite institution in America was more accommodating to Fascism than Columbia University. In 1926 it established Casa Italiana, a center for the study of Italian culture and a lecture venue for prominent Italian scholars. It was Fascism's "veritable home in America" and a "schoolhouse for budding Fascist ideologues," according to John Patrick Diggins. Mussolini himself had contributed some ornate Baroque furniture to Casa Italiana and had sent Columbia's president, Nicholas Murray Butler, a signed photo thanking him for his "most valuable contribution" to the promotion of understanding between Fascist Italy and the United States. (9) Butler himself was not an advocate of fascism for America, but he did believe it was in the best interests of the Italian people and that it had been a very real success, well worth studying. This subtle distinction—fascism is good for Italians, but maybe not for America—was held by a vast array of prominent liberal intellectuals in much the same way some liberals defend Castro's communist "experiment."
While academics debated the finer points of Mussolini's corporatist state, mainstream America's interest in Mussolini far outstripped that of any other international figure in the 1920s. From 1925 to 1928 there were more than a hundred articles written on Mussolini in American publications and only fifteen on Stalin. (10) For more than a decade the New York Times's foreign correspondent Anne O'Hare McCormick painted a glowing picture of Mussolini that made the Times's later fawning over Stalin seem almost critical. The New York Tribune was vexed to answer the question: Was Mussolini Garibaldi or Caesar? Meanwhile, James A. Farrell, the head of U.S. Steel, dubbed the Italian dictator "the greatest living man" in the world.
Hollywood moguls, noting his obvious theatrical gifts, hoped to make Mussolini a star of the big screen, and he appeared in The Eternal City (1923), starring Lionel Barrymore. The film recounts the battles between communists and Fascists for control of Italy, and—mirabile dictu—Hollywood takes the side of the Fascists. "His deportment on the screen," one reviewer proclaimed, "lends weight to the theory that this is just where he belongs." (11) In 1933 Columbia Pictures released a "documentary" called Mussolini Speaks—supervised by Il Duce himself. Lowell Thomas—the legendary American journalist who had made Lawrence of Arabia famous—worked closely on the film and provided fawning commentary throughout. Mussolini was portrayed as a heroic strongman and national savior. When the crescendo builds before Mussolini gives a speech in Naples, Thomas declares breathlessly, "This is his supreme moment. He stands like a modern Caesar!" The film opened to record business at the RKO Palace in New York. Columbia took out an ad in Variety proclaiming the film a hit in giant block letters because "it appeals to all RED BLOODED AMERICANS" and "it might be the ANSWER TO AMERICA'S NEEDS."
Fascism certainly had its critics in the 1920s and 1930s. Ernest Hemingway was skeptical of Mussolini almost from the start. Henry Miller disliked Fascism's program but admired Mussolini's will and strength. Some on the so–called Old Right, like the libertarian Albert J. Nock, saw Fascism as just another kind of statism. The nativist Ku Klux Klan—ironically, often called "American fascists" by liberals—tended to despise Mussolini and his American followers (mainly because they were immigrants). Interestingly, the hard left had almost nothing to say about Italian Fascism for most of its first decade. While liberals were split into various unstable factions, the American left remained largely oblivious to Fascism until the Great Depression. When the left did finally start attacking Mussolini in earnest—largely on orders from Moscow—they lumped him in essentially the same category as Franklin Roosevelt, the socialist Norman Thomas, and the progressive Robert La Follette. (12)
We'll be revisiting how American liberals and leftists viewed Fascism in subsequent chapters. But first it seems worth asking, how was this possible? Given everything we've been taught about the evils of fascism, how is it that for more than a decade this country was in significant respects pro–fascist? Even more vexing, how is it—considering that most liberals and leftists believe they were put on this earth to oppose fascism with every breath—that many if not most American liberals either admired Mussolini and his project or simply didn't care much about it one way or the other?
The answer resides in the fact that Fascism was born of a "fascist moment" in Western civilization, when a coalition of intellectuals going by various labels—progressive, communist, socialist, and so forth—believed the era of liberal democracy was drawing to a close. It was time for man to lay aside the anachronisms of natural law, traditional religion, constitutional liberty, capitalism, and the like and rise to the responsibility of remaking the world in his own image. God was long dead, and it was long overdue for men to take His place. Mussolini, a lifelong socialist intellectual, was a warrior in this crusade, and his Fascism—a doctrine he created from the same intellectual material Lenin and Trotsky had built their movements with—was a grand leap into the era of "experimentation" that would sweep aside old dogmas and usher in a new age. This was in every significant way a project of the left as we understand the term today, a fact understood by Mussolini, his admirers, and his detractors. Mussolini declared often that the nineteenth century was the century of liberalism and the twentieth century would be the "century of Fascism." It is only by examining his life and legacy that we can see how right—and left—he was.

Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini was named after three revolutionary heroes. The name Benito—a Spanish name, as opposed to the Italian equivalent, Benedetto—was inspired by Benito Juárez, the Mexican revolutionary turned president who not only toppled the emperor Maximilian but had him executed. The other two names were inspired by now-forgotten heroes of anarchist–socialism, Amilcare Cipriani and Andrea Costa.
Mussolini's father, Alessandro, was a blacksmith and ardent socialist with an anarchist bent who was a member of the First International along with Marx and Engels and served on the local socialist council. Alessandro's "[h]eart and mind were always filled and pulsing with socialistic theories," Mussolini recalled. "His intense sympathies mingled with [socialist] doctrines and causes. He discussed them in the evening with his friends and his eyes filled with light." (13) On other nights Mussolini's father read him passages from Das Kapital. When villagers brought their horses to Alessandro's shop to be shod, part of the price came in the form of listening to the blacksmith spout his socialist theories. Mussolini was a congenital rabble–rouser. At the age of ten, young Benito led a demonstration against his school for serving bad food. In high school he called himself a socialist, and at the age of eighteen, while working as a substitute teacher, he became the secretary of a socialist organization and began his career as a left–wing journalist.

Fascinating presentation of politics of the last century and the ideological pedigree of many current prominent individuals and organizations. A must read for any informed citizen.
There are a few things that we've learned as kids and have since taken for granted: the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, the birds fly south in the Winter, and north in the Summer, there are four seasons, seven days in week, etc. One of these truisms that almost no one questions is that communism is a left/liberal ideology while fascism is a right/conservative one. And while communism to this day has maintained a certain level of respectability and even moral high ground in some circles, labeling someone a fascist is the lowest form of insult, and something that many conservative thinkers are constantly subjected to. Therefore it came as a bit of a surprise to me to discover that fascism is in fact, when looked at objectively and without the baggage that it has assumed in popular perception, a quintessential left-of-center ideology. Granted, "Nazi" is in fact a shorthand for "National-socialist," but for the better part of last seventy years hardly anyone thought to emphasize the "socialist" part of the label, only the nationalism by which it was widely known. In the light of that Jonah Goldberg's book comes as a revelation that has profound effect on one's perception of the world. It is equivalent to discovering that the sun rises AND sets in the East. I was at first rather skeptical of the premise of this book, but the exhaustive, detailed and persuasive historical evidence that was presented in the book put all my misgivings aside. It documented many of the fascist tendencies and full-blown policies of some of the darlings of American left: Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. It shows that aside from the extermination of Jews, there are hardly any policies of German National-socialists that differ substantially from any other socialist movement of the time, or even today. And herein, according to this book, lies the greatest danger for the modern western democracies. By demonizing fascism as a phenomenon of the right, it leaves open the unimpeded encroachment to many fascist policies under the guise of socialist and other liberal movements. These movements don't necessarily want the full-blown fascist dictatorships installed, but they are certainly progressing in that direction. That's why they are referred to as "liberal" fascists - fascists with a smiley face. Jonah Goldberg does a remarkable job of presenting his ideas and impressions to the modern reader - always backed by facts, never overdoing the rhetoric. The book covers somewhat the similar ground as the legendary "The Road to Serfdom" by F. A. Hayek. This latter book was written in the middle of WWII, and had some of the same perceptions as "Liberal Fascism." Its thesis was to warn the Western democracies against implementing many of the social programs that led to the rise of fascism and communism in Europe at the time. It is sobering to see that many of those warnings are still relevant today, maybe even more so than in 1940s. We live in the world where both fascism and communism are rapidly recede in people's memory, and it is easy to think that what led to them could not possibly happen again. "Liberal Fascism" is a sobering reminder that the road to fascism is indeed sometimes paved with the best intentions. One final note: many of the current-events books out there don't age well, and their relevance diminishes almost as fast as that of many periodicals. This is certainly not t
Contrary to the mindless, historically inaccurate negative reviews of this title on this site this book is a MUST read for any serious cultural historian. Backed up with extensive footnotes to his facts, Goldberg has surgically dissected the lies, distortions and fallacies of what is modern liberalism. Seeking respite in failed ideology, the left will loathe this book ardently because it exposes their corrupt and corrupting culture of hatred and lies. Absolutely one of the more important books of the early 21st century, this book will be viewed in the future as one of the larger truths written about the American way of life in the late 20th/early 21st century. The left howls when their own filth bites them, expect them to rail ceaselessly about this work. A+++.
Anyone of the chapters in this book could serve as a primer for a complete history. I was initially worried that this would be a Republican talking points review. It is not rather a look back as to how we humans give up our freedom. This book isnt for anyone who likes either Republican or Democrat diatribes rather it is for anyone who loves liberty and is in search of its preservation. I feel sorry for those reviewers that found this book unreadable. Understanding let alone accepting some basic principles of this book could cause the reader to suffer the affects of ther political apostasy. It would be much easier to live a lie.
Liberal Fascism is well worth the price. If you are a conservative you will be equipped with many counterarguments to typical liberal talking points. If you are a liberal your ideology will likely be inconvenienced by this book but that should not stop you from reading it. I consider myself a staunch conservative but that does not stop me from reading books like Rules for Radicals. I believed this author used a tactic called cardstacking, which is when a person only chooses the historical facts that support their perspective, while leaving out any facts that hinder their argument, but that does not take away from the central thesis of this book. The point is to show the connection between progressive/ liberal ideology and the ideology of Hitler and Mussolini, which is strikingly similar in some areas. This book is original and very provocative. I highly recommend it!
I am often asked by students why the modern-day 'political spectrum' positions Socialists on both the left and the right. If it does nothing else, this book will answer that question and show that the political spectrum begins on the far left where individual freedom is minimized and ends on the far right where individual freedom is maximized. This book helps to clarify the common misperception.
I have long maintained that International Socialism (aka Communism) and National Socialism (aka Fascism)are simply 2 sides to the same totalitarian coin. After all what is 'Nazi' except a shortened term for 'National Socialist'. Goldberg proves what has always existed in our plain sight-that the Fascist movement of the early and mid 20th century was, in fact, a totalitarian 'Progressive' political phenomenon originating out of the utopian left, with a distinct 'Progressive' political agenda (i.e. minimum wage, public housing, worker protections, healthcare and even a proto-enviromentalism). It was never some reactionary reply of 'conservatives' to European Liberalism. With precision and scholarly detail he traces the early intellectual origins of Fascism in Italy and makes the vital point that Hitler and the Nazis were simply an anti-semitic strain of Fascism, unique to Germany, and that Fascism itself is not, per se, racially bigoted, but rather totalitarian, socialistic and communitarian. More importantly, Goldberg pulls the curtain back on the 70 year myth which former 'Progressives' (n/k/a 'Liberals')have constructed in America to hide their past sympathies with Fascism pre-WW II and, more importantly, to hide their adherence to Fascist methodolgy in the present-albiet with a gigantic federal government masked by a nanny state smile.(Goldberg's jacket cover of a big yellow smiley face with Hitler mustache is a riot and makes a devastatingly useful counter protest symbol-lets hope it shows up outside the Democratic convention in Denver this summer) Begining with President Wilson and thru FDR and even 1930's Hollywood, American Progressives of the era expressed an overt admiration for Mussolini's ability 'to make the trains run on time'. The Nazi death camps made such pre war intellectual associations politically poisionous in post WW II American politics. As a consequence, that association had to, and in fact, has been convieniently erased from the collective American historical memory post WW II by an all too compliant academia and media and, worse, dishonestly transposed upon the American Conservative movement without any historical basis. Such that today 'Fascist' and 'Nazi' have been wrongly conflated into 'Republican' and 'conservative' for the intelectually lazy and simple minded. Goldberg demonstrates how this modern misconception can only stem from a severe ignorance of the history of ideas in America and Europe and, specifically, from a complete ignorance of the roots of 'Fascism'. Goldberg also lays out how contemporary echos of this Fascism prevail within the the Liberal movement today, most particularly in the modern Democratic party's ceaseless effort to construct a cradle to grave nanny state-all for 'your own good'. From Hillary's Universal Healthcare to Al Gore's Global Warming zealotry Goldberg shows how today's Liberal Fascists seek to aquire political power so as to construct a 'Brave New World' of socialist utopia all for the 'collective good' but, unfortunately, at the expense of the individual freedoms bestowed to us all by the founding fathers in the US constitution. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the truth of where the Progressive/Liberal movement has been and where they would like to take us-all the while with a smile of course!
Goldberg does a great job of explaining a very hard to understand topic. You can learn something on every page. His writing style is very readable.
I started out left of center when I left High School. As I've grown older I've been mgged by reality and have been forced to the Right. This book was alarming, disturbing, shocking and enlightening. It woke me up to a sorry reality we face in America, that what we are being taught in school may not be the whole truth, but is, in fact, Liberal spin designed to indoctrinate, rather than educate. I found Goldberg's notes and biblyography (Which takes up a huge chunk of the book) to be thurogh and his facts well documented and hard to ignore.
The reality is that this is the gateway book for other eye opening books I have since read which have confirmed what Goldberg has stated in his book. Fascism and Communism are essentially the same thing, whether the totalitarian loons on the left want to admit it or not. Naturally those fully indoctrinated will reject this book. I would be suprised if any of them honestly read the book or if they just said they did so they could attack it with red herrings and ad homenum attacks. If they doubt the truhfulness of it all there's a massive bibliography to sort through. You can check his sources yourself, I did, and it has made me fully aware of the crisis we now have in indoctrination... I mean education. Next on your list of books to read should be Cleon Skousen's The Naked Comunist. There is no Utopia on the left, only 100 million dead bodies and totalitarianism, and whether by National Socialism, or International Socialism totalitarianism is totalitarianism. After all A German Shepard is not a Malamute, but they're both dogs nontheless.
Goldberg does a decent job of discussing the Leftist origins of Nazism and Fascism. The book is hurt however, by Goldbergs well known Conservative status. For a scholarly look at the same subject matter, from a man outside of the American Political system read 'Three New Deals: Reflections on Roosevelt's America, Mussolini's Italy, and Hitler's Germany, 1933--1939' by Wolfgang Schivelbusch.
Unlike 5860277 I actually understand the translation from German of NationalSocialist Deutsche Arbeiterspartie: "National SOCIALIST German Workers' Party." Goebbels said "When we defeat those Bolsheviks, we'll show those Russians how to do real socialism." By the logic of 5860277, lions are vegetarians because they kill cheetas and hyenas. Like lions, Nazis killed communists not because Nazis weren't socialists too, but because they were competing for the same turf. Goldberg explained this, and 5860277 still didn't get it. Maybe he (she?) can't actually read.
Great book. I thought it would be cheap, trendy crap when I first saw the cover, but it changed by understanding of the world. When I was in sixth grade I never understood why they called fascism right wing. I argued with the teacher it seemed left wing to me. This is another great example of important things you did not learn in school. I have recommended this book to liberals and conservatives and ALL said they learned a great deal. The fabric of the world was remade by these progressives in the 1930s and then they tore the fabric of the world apart. Are we marching in step with history? Will our modern progressive politicians rip the fabric of the world apart because they know what is best for us? Or, is this a new, better fabric that we will feel good in? More important will our grandchildren be dressed in rags paying for our fabric? Read it and communicate with others from a new perspective.
Yes, our wonderful professors have managed to do to our. nation what Hiss could only hope for...Happy Times in socialist utopia. Everyday there are examples of the Nanny State pushing and nagging. We have finally gotten Socialism with a smiley-face. Much better than the swastika or hammer and sickle...don't cha think? Buy several copies of this landmark book and give them to young folks who aren't complete ruined.
Great summary of the real evolution of the modern left, as opposed to the Orwellian version foisted on us by academia. Excellent sourcing throughout the book.
Look - don't fall for the one star reviews - they're political. The first thing they say is everything bad is right wing and everything good is left wing - it's very tiring and very untrue. Right wing attitudes can be traced back the European nobility and families of good social standing. Right wing attitudes were embodied in Germany within the officer corps, they eventually tried to kill Hitler - something the left seems to skip over. The French revolution actually gave us the terms right and left for political persuasion. The left would have you believe Hitler was a right wing guy - however this runs up against a brick wall when you read Hitler's speeches and his socialist mandates. The book has been well researched and is so complex and complete that you will end up reading it two or three times - all this means is that it's very complete and intricate in the analysis.
Goldberg takes issue with the vocal left who today hurl accusations of "fascism!" at anyone they don't like. By tracing the origins of the dogma of fascism, his in-depth research traces the progressive movement world wide, revealing the 'any means justifies the end' mentality of those who would manipulate and force their view of the perfect society onto Americans in defiance of the will of the citizenry AND THE CONSTITUTION. The actions of the current administration and congress make sense in context of the historical progressive movement. This book ought to be read not only by every high school and college student but by every citizen who treasures his constitutionally guaranteed liberty.
Jonah Goldberg's research about the origins of fascism and how it applies to modern day politics makes this a "must read" for the political junkie. Whether you describe yourself as a conservative or a liberal, this book is very thought-provoking and fascinating. It's an appropriate read for anyone who is interested in an honest account of American and European politics, spanning from the early 1920s to today.
This has been a long time coming, i.e. an accessible-but-soundly-researched, readable, up-to-date account of how communism and fascism are socialism's equally monstrous fraternal twins, and how both inhabit the opposite end of the political/philosophical spectrum from true conservatism. Liberal Fascism meets this criterion beautifully, and also does an excellent job illustrating how the mindset and mores of fascism creep into politics and culture, over and over, from the late 19th century up to this very day.I recommend this book to both conservatives (who will find it a breath of fresh air) and liberals (who are going to be hearing some unpleasant things their teachers and college profs have long swept under the moldy rug of historical revisionism. The only flaw here is stylistic: Goldberg is so obviously anticipating waves of obloquy (which he certainly received upon publication) that if anything he over-sources and documents his points. The book exceeds a bit what might have been its most effective length.
Reading this book helped me understand 20th century politics and culture like few others have.
Surprisingly less inflammatory than the title seems to suggest, this is the missing history of the 20th century. Documents shocking happenings during the Wilson & FDR administrations while judiciously identifying parallels in modern liberal thought. Much better place to read a critique about liberalism than Levin's incendiary (and sadly popular) Liberty and Tyranny.
Given the crisis in our Canadian culture, where our high school students are subjected to overt leftist thought in a radically dark effort at social engineering, and where the CBC has deteriorated into an absurd caricature of the press as it swallows every loony left idea it's college educated journalists can find - and spit out again - this book is a wild and enjoyable relief. It's also solid academic work. It defines well what we're facing, and I can only dream that enough people will read this book and so wake up to beast we're allowing to grow right in our midst. May we return to that time when the role of the state was to protect me, the individual, from every well-intentioned quack who's bent on controlling other people to their chosen ends.
The information presented highlights the ongoing struggle over the past one hundred plus years between individualists and collectivists. The author's keen insights were much appreciated. Unfortunately, reading this book was a labor of love for me. I enjoyed the information but not particularly the read.
Jonah Goldberg's book "Liberal Fascism" is long overdue. This should be evident to anyone who rejects the party line of the reigning collectivist orthodoxy in America. Such a person will have had the experience of being labeled a "reactionary" or an "ultra-conservative" and of being informed that his opinions, if taken a bit further, would make him a fascist.This charge, as inevitable as death and taxes in a debate with a hard-core Leftist, leaves its victim stunned and confused, like the proverbial deer in the headlights. "But, wait..." stammers the besieged advocate of free markets and limited government. He replays in his mind the famous film clips of Hitler addressing the Nazi mass rallies, and thinks, such a thing could not be further from my heart. Yet he fails to utter a satisfactory rejoinder to his accusers.Along comes Goldberg and unravels the myth of the "conservative fascist," one of the pre-eminent Big Lies of the post-War era. Not content to debunk it, he turns the tables, offering conclusive evidence that the contemporary American "liberal" (as opposed to the classic liberal of yesteryear) subscribes to an ideology that is a patchwork of the twentieth century's anti-democratic experiments: statism, collectivism, racialism, and nihilism--in a word, fascism. Today, it is a "feel-good" fascism; fascism with a caring face. But it is the same road to serfdom (to borrow Hayek's phrase), and it leads to a place where freedom, liberty, and the human spirit have been eliminated.The book takes us on a journey through the ideological swamps of the American Left, featuring such highlights as pre-WWI Progressivism; Woodrow Wilson; the New Deal; the radicals of the 1960s; the Clintons; and Al Gore. In each case, Goldberg shows us the uncanny resemblance between the icons of the Left and the ideology and/or methods of the self-declared fascists--be they German, Italian, or some other variety.We learn how Mussolini and the Nazis were first and foremost socialists, pure creations of the Left. Goldberg presents reams of testimony to highlight this seldom-discussed fact. For example:"The Nazi ideologist--and Hitler rival--Gregor Strasser put it quite succinctly: 'We are socialists. We are enemies, deadly enemies, of today's capitalist economic system with its exploitation of the economically weak, its unfair wage system, its immoral way of judging the worth of human beings in terms of their wealth and their money, instead of their responsibility and their performance, and we are determined to destroy this system whatever happens!'"Likewise, the original Nazi Party platform of 1920 was nothing if not a description of a Leftist nirvana. Explains Goldberg:"The most striking thing about the platform was its concerted appeal to socialistic and populist economics, including providing a livelihood for citizens; abolition of income from interest; the total confiscation of war profits; the nationalization of trusts; shared profits with labor; expanded old-age pensions; 'communalization of department stores'; the execution of 'usurers' regardless of race; and the outlawing of child labor."The similarities between the Nazi belief system and much of our own political correctness is chilling. Hitler and his cohorts were super-environmentalists, obsessed with animal rights and organic food. They had a well-developed cult of Mother Earth, which fed into their fantasies of a pagan, pre-Christian Germanic race. They waged fanatical anti-smoking campaigns, part of an overall focus on public health and care for the body. Sound familiar?Mussolini and his followers were cut from the same Leftist cloth. We read that Mussolini's"reputation as a radical grew slowly and steadily until 1911. He became the editor of La lotta di classe (Class War), which served as the megaphone of the extremist wing of the Italian Socialist Party...in a speech in Forli he called on the Italian people to declare a general strike, block the streets, and blow up the trains...He
Just spews hatred. I want to read how these conserative writers would "fix" america rather than their childish views over and over again.
Goldberg carefully defines his terms and takes many pages to define what fascism is and is not (it is not Nazi-ism, for example, but rather had many flavors, of which Nazi-ism was just one) before turning to his main task. He repeatedly reminds readers that the American left are NOT Nazis, provides an abundance of source documentation (much of it from people who would themselves identify with the left), and takes to task people and trends on the right which also reflect fascist themes. The book is intentionally provocative, but the author explains his motives and produces about as balanced a book as one is likely to come across in the "culture wars." Goldberg demonstrates a substantial historical over-lap in the ideals, goals, assumptions, and strategies of fascism and the Progressive left. He emphasizes that the American left is NICE (hence the smiley face on the cover), and why niceness, in itself, creates and masks problems. I teach college history, including courses in WWI and WWII, and Goldberg's descriptions of fascism and the European context are fairly congruent with what other historians such as George Mosse (Crisis of German Ideology) and Modris Ekstein (Rites of Spring) have written. Less familiar with the history of Progressivism in the US, I would have liked more documentation there, but authors can't include everything and what he does include seems sound. 4 stars because the discussion is sometimes tedious, sometimes over-generalized, and occasionally lacks enough evidence. On the other hand, Goldberg missed a gold mine of evidence for his thesis by over-looking Wilson's chief advisor, Colonel House, and his novel, Philip Dru: Administrator. The "1 star" reviews that do address specifics in the book either misunderstood/misrepresent the author's point or reacted without having read it. Altogether, their responses tend to confirm Goldberg's thesis rather than contradict it.

Comments/Ratings for a Single Item
The power of the pieces doesn't mean much. Look at the larger variants or even Sho Shogi which is just regular Shogi with a drunk elephant and no drops. Weak pieces doesn't and didn't necessarily imply that drops were used.
Well, that we today play this game both with and without drops is only out of ignorance. At the time this game was invented the rules were of course known, and nothing would have been optional about them. So it would either have been one or the other always. Based on the power of the pieces I am now convinced that the original rules would have included piece drops. And with piece drops there is no such thing as (meta-)color binding; any piece can get captured, and re-appear on any color it wants. Also note that the Heavenly Horse is a promoted piece. Because of the promotion zone being 3 ranks deep and the way the Liberated Horse moves you can promote on 3 of the 4 possible meta-colors.
One of the weird things about this game is the fact that you can only have 2 Heavenly Horses at max, even though you need 4 to cover the whole board, probably there is some compensation for this. I also investigated the camel variant of it, this piece can only reach 1/6th of the board.
Games with drops are in general harder for computers, relative to humans. Until last year computers still lost to human experts in Crazyhouse. (And then Stockfish-variant appeared.) For regular Shogi the problem was solved earlier, but only through 'data-mining' the huge data base of human Shogi professionals, and absorbing their knowledge in a neural-network type evaluation. For Wa Shogi such a game data base does not exists. And I know only of one computer program that can seriously play it: my own engine Crazywa. (Some non-searching programs like ShogiVar support it, but these are real push-overs.) But I did not seriously tune it even there, and its strategy is simply a generalization of what it does in Crazyhouse, with purely guessed piece values.
I have no doubt that with Google's AlphaZero technology a super-strong player could be made. Wa Shogi is most certainly too insignificant to interest Google, though, or any large community of owners of computers with state-of-the-art graphics cards that would be needed to mimic such an effort (like the LeelaChess Zero project for Chess). So my guess is that computer Wa-Shogi players will remain relatively weak for a long time to come.
Implementing Wa Shogi in Jocly is on my to-do list; it should not be very difficult now that I have already done regular Shogi, so that its infra-structure for drops can be used. Jocly's AI is also laughably weak, however. But as I also made progress in setting up a Jocly based Game Server, it would offer an opportunity to play Wa Shogi on line.
Just a guess, but this kind of version of shogi (i.e. of board size 11x11) might make for the optimally largest board size, if it's desired that games not take arguably too many moves in an average well-played game. I also don't know if Wa Shogi with drops would give computer engines a harder time if they played vs. people than would be the case for regular (9x9) shogi. Maybe Wa Shogi with drops would be hopeless for human players, in the long run in any case, if they're faced with a self-teaching machine.
Also, in the past I've noticed a game where a leading (and still active) Game Courier player remarked that he could not find anywhere to play Wa Shogi with drops against people online, which is the way I think I would much prefer to play it if I ever could give this well-tested game a try on Game Courier. At the moment there is no preset for Wa Shogi, with or without drops.
@ H.G: In case you've not noticed, the setup diagram for this Wa Shogi rules page currently is not showing up for some reason.
For clarity, because I did not mention that here yet:
I have written an engine 'CrazyWa', which can play various chess variants with drops, amongst which Crazyhouse and Wa Shogi. A package that bundles it with WinBoard as GUI can be downloaded from
Dr Muller, thank you for WinBoard wa shogi -- what a nice present for the new year!

Expert Advice For Finding The Right Dental Care
Unlike many countries, the United States have many resources in providing dental care. Since you have all of the tools you need available, there is little reason not to take advantage of them. Here are some items you should buy in order to have a beautiful looking smile.
Cavities can be caused when a tooth's enamel gets weak. Bacteria from food debris eat through the teeth, which causes cavities. Having regular cleanings in addition to good brushing habits can prevent cavities from ever forming. Generally, the visit will include an exam.
Fluoride supplements may be worth checking out. If you notice your teeth are losing their whiteness, or that your gums are giving you problems, you may have to take some fluoride. However, too much fluoride can put yellow spots on your teeth. If you see this happening, discontinue the supplements and do away with things in your diet that contain fluoride.
It is important to make things fun when teaching young children how to care for their teeth. Let them pick out their own kid-friendly tooth paste and tooth brush so that they will be excited about using it. Children tend to respond better when you actually offer them choices and allow them to make their own dental care decisions, within reason.
Do you have bad breath? You should clean your tongue more regularly. Invest in some tongue scrapers and use them after each meal to remove bacterias from your tongue. Rinsing your mouth with an anti-bacterial mouth wash can help too. If the problem persists, go to your dentist to find out what is causing your bad breath.
Always read over the labels that are on the toothpaste you're going to buy. The toothpaste you use should contain fluoride. Other ingredients probably include abrasive agents that help whiten teeth. If your gums are too sensitive to your toothpaste, find a product that contains fewer of these chemicals.
Many people end up with cavities between their teeth, and the reason is that they don't floss and brushing alone doesn't get all the food out. It's best to floss after you brush your teeth twice a day, but once a day is better than none at all, of course!
To help protect your children from swallowing too much toothpaste supervise their brushing. Use only a small amount of toothpaste. Dentists generally recommend using a small pea sized amount of toothpaste for children under six years old to help protect their health. During your child's tooth brushing routine, explain the importance of brushing each tooth properly.
Brush at least three times every day for a couple of minutes every time. If you keep your teeth clean regularly, you won't have to worry about gum disease or cavities. Brushing is relatively inexpensive and certainly less costly than other dental work, so it behooves you to get in the habit of brushing regularly.
Most people think a beautiful smile is one of the best features to have. You will have to take good care of all of your teeth to have one. The article above mentioned several useful tools to make your teeth look beautiful for a very long time.…
Expert Advice For Alleviating Your Asthma Symptoms
Asthma is a serious condition that can affect people of any age or gender. Along with seeing your doctor, you need to also be aware of the warning signs that can make your symptoms worse. This article will share some very easy suggestions that can help you improve your symptoms from day to day and lower the likelihood of any sudden asthma attacks.
You need to make sure that you do not smoke and that you stay away from a lot of fumes and vapors if you suffer from asthma. You must abstain from using any tobacco products. Also, when job hunting, you need to take into consideration whether or not you will be exposed to anything detrimental to your condition while on the job.

It is important that you know what triggers your asthma symptoms. It may be wise to keep an asthma diary so you can see a pattern of when and where your asthma attacks happen. By knowing what triggers attacks, you will know what to avoid or stay away from as much as possible.
Beta 2 antagonists that can be inhaled are long term asthma control medicines that can be taken every day. They may also have risks for certain people as well. When you are taking these medications it is now recommended they be used along with corticosteroids that can be inhaled.
Leukotriene inhibitors are a very popular treatment for people that have asthma. This type of medication will work to stop chemical substances that can cause an asthma attack. It is very important that if you are prescribed these, you make sure to take it exactly how your doctor tells you to.
If you have asthma, know your triggers. What is it that causes an asthma attack to come on? Many common triggers are allergies and irritants. For some, it is exercise or extreme temperatures. Emotional or anxiety issues can also cause asthma type attacks. Knowing what causes your attack can also be what will help you find a proper treatment.
You can help to prevent asthma attacks by maintaining a clean home, particularly the asthmatic's bedroom. Never allow anyone to smoke in the home of an asthmatic, and consider using plastic to cover your mattress and pillows. Once you have cleaned your house, air it out; you should also eliminate utilizing any toxic chemicals inside.
Asthma should not be treated like a joke. Asthma attacks can sometimes be lethal, so make sure you are taking measures to decrease the possibility of your asthma getting out of control. This can include keeping a rescue inhaler with you at all times and reducing the allergens and dust present in your home. Hopefully, by using these tips, you will have your symptoms better and have control over your asthma.…
Expert Advice On How To Handle Cellulite
Despite what the media or popular opinion may have you believing, cellulite is a common problem, even for celebrities. Even if you eat well or exercise regularly, you may notice dimpled skin on your legs or buttocks. Read on for tips on getting rid of that pesky cellulite to regain confidence.
Dehydration is not your friend, and it certainly does you no favors when it comes to cellulite. Get up each morning and reach for a glass of water. Carry a water bottle with you throughout the day so that you remember to continue drinking. And, stay away from things like coffee, which can have a dehydrating effect.
Stay away from refined salt. It will dehydrate you and take valuable minerals from your body. Sea salt is a much better option, as it is good for your body and has a pleasing flavor as well. Most people do not even notice a difference in the two, so the switch should not affect you very much.
Get daily exercise into your life. Burning fat is essential if you're looking to rid yourself of cellulite. Obviously, if you don't exercise, you'll be more prone to cellulite occurring. Just 30 minutes of high impact exercise a day can make a real difference to how you look. It's worth it.
Good nutrition is a smart way to cut down cellulite and prevent it. Foods with lots of lecithin are also great for eliminating cellulite. Foods like lettuce, apples, and peanuts all contain lecithin. This will keep your skin looking smooth. Avoid junk foods with a high fat content.
If you have cellulite and you are a smoker, it is time for you to quit. Smoking reduces the food supply to your skin and puts more harmful toxins in your body. This damages the elasticity of your skin, making it more prone to cellulite. If you did not have enough of a reason to quit smoking before, you do now.
To keep cellulite at bay, try maintaining a regular exercise regimen that includes lunges. These particular moves really help firm up the thighs. These exercise build up lean muscle in the thighs and buttocks, which cellulite is generally present. Maintain proper form when doing these exercises to keep away the cellulite by not letting your knees go too far over your toes. Also, keep the heel on the front foot pressed into the floor while squeezing your glutes.
Since cellulite can be caused by wearing tight fitting garments around the waist and lower body, it is best to wear clothing that does not bind and reduce circulation. Some people wear compression garments to minimize the lumpy appearance of the condition. This may minimize the bumpy appearance, but does not correct the problem.
Rather than letting yourself get down about the appearance of your body, do something about it! Although it's true that cellulite doesn't necessarily mean you're unhealthy, there are steps you can take to reduce it. Remember these helpful tips so you can get the smooth skin you would like to show off.…

Denver-area ICE Detention Facility Treats Illegal Aliens Humanely and Respectfully

This facility has been at the center of the immigration-enforcement debate ever since protesters replaced the facility's American flag with a Mexican flag and defaced a Blue Lives Matter flag earlier this summer. Here's what I saw . . .

OMB Approves H-2A Rule Permitting Online Job Listings Over Newspaper ads
The White House Office of Management and Budget on Friday cleared a final rule to lift a requirement that farmers seeking foreign guest workers must first advertise open positions in newspapers.
DHS Drafts Plan to Curb Work Permits for Illegal Migrants
The Department of Homeland Security is discarding a 1994 rule which says officials must provide work permits to asylum seekers within 30 days of their request.
Top Asylum Official Reassigned to Virginia Processing Center
The top asylum official at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will be reassigned, according to five current and former DHS officials, as reported by Politico. According to the sources, the official, Asylum Division Chief John Lafferty, will become deputy director of the Potomac Service Center in Arlington, Va., beginning Sept. 10, which many may see as a demotion.
How Much Nature Should America Keep?
We Say it Often, Numbers Count. And Here's An Example of Why
Add Ecuador to a growing list of South American countries beginning to close or significantly restrict mass migration spilling over their borders, a tragic consequence of the chaos and corruption that has plunged over 90% of Venezuela's population into poverty. It is estimated that by the end of this year, over 5 million Venezuelens will have fled their homeland.
August Border Arrests Continue to Drop
The number of aliens caught crossing the southwest border continued a sharp decline in August, according to preliminary figures obtained by Politico. U.S. Border Patrol arrested roughly 51,000 migrants in August, a 30 percent drop from the previous month. Although it is commonplace to see a dip in arrests at the southern border during the hot summer months, the Trump Administration insists the latest figures signal that recent bilateral agreements between the governments of Guatemala, Mexico, and the U.S. may be reducing the number of border crossers.
Chicken Industry Accused of Conspiring to Keep Immigrant Wages Down
According to a new lawsuit, companies producing more than 90% of America's chicken have conspired to depress wages for a largely immigrant workforce in some of the nation's most dangerous jobs. The lawsuit filed last week is mostly based on interviews with former employees and claims the conspiracy among 18 companies, their subsidiaries, affiliates, and two consulting firms to depress immigrant wages continues to this day.

I attend live performances at Unitea, which are held 1 to 2 times per month, and I have been hosting all the musicians this year at my home. I attend the Arts Club Show every April, which showcases our local artist. We also have a local choir who usually has 2 shows a year, and I am student of the Krush Dance Company which has a very successful program. There were 150 dancers taking part in the last show in April. There are two sessions each year and dancers take part in a show for the community after every session.
Additional Information
If you'd like to provide voters with additional information about your stance on arts, culture, and heritage issues in your community, please use the space below.
I feel strongly that arts, culture and heritage greatly enhance the quality of life, bring communities closer together and should be supported by the Municipality.

The Devon club slipped to a fourth successive top flight defeat as Shane Geraghty's last-gasp drop-goal gave London Irish a priceless 28-26 victory at the Madejski Stadium.
For a second successive week, it was a bitter pill to swallow for Baxter and his team who, with just over a minute remaining, appeared to be in control of proceedings having clawed their way back into the contest thanks to converted tries from Dean Mumm and Dave Ewers, as well as four penalties from fly-half Gareth Steenson.
Irish, though, would never lie down and they claimed all five points thanks to tries from Blair Cowan (2), Tom Guest and Alex Lexington, whilst Geraghty and Tom Homer shared the remainder of their points with the boot.
"It was a tough one, wasn't it?" said a disappointed Baxter post-match. "Right now we are going through that period where that win is proving tough to find.
"It was another performance we have put together in this period where we were good in parts and you can't fault the endeavour of the guys to get themselves back into a winning position on a couple of occasions, this despite having a couple of hammer blows go in there, but again the decisive last points in the game have come from the opposition.
"Yes it's tough to take. I could have been sitting here praising the way the team got back into it if that drop-goal misses, but as it is I am a little bit frustrated as several of their tries were from our own making and that is frustrating."
Baxter continued: "I'm not going to say anything different to you that I haven't said to the players already. When you watch things from a distance, like you do here, it was almost like we were a bit hesitant in what we're doing, almost expecting things to happen.
"I'm sure when we review the game on Tuesday, I'm sure there will be guys who will say 'I thought this would happen or that would happen' and that's what it is going to be like. Also, there were a couple of scrappy things around the line-out, miscommunication going on, and little bit like that all game.
"I expected bits of that today, simply because I knew we would be a bit nervy. We've put pressure on ourselves to be at the top end of the league and had we won today we'd have been back in the top four. But with the three losses we've had recently, it was always going to be make us a bit nervous and no matter what i said or did, this group of players were going to be nervy and I thought they proved that a little bit today.
"That said, you have got to give them credit for bouncing back from those two quicker scores because on another day, away from home, it would have been very easy to cave in. With a minute left on the clock, in their defensive quarter, you think we have a good opportunity to win, but it wasn't to be."
Despite the loss, Exeter's losing bonus point did lift them back into fifth place in the table, just a point behind next best Wasps and three behind third-placed Saracens.
For the next month, though, it will be Cup matters - both in Europe and the LV= Cup - that will take priority for the Chiefs and Baxter believes the change of focus could act as a nice distraction for his players.
"We have the opportunity of four weeks now that will offer us a different distraction," said Baxter. "We will look at a few things and there will be a bit of brutal honesty that we can lay on the guys now after the last few weeks.
"As I have said to them, you should want to be in the Premiership because it's a tough competition. We played extremely well to get in that top three earlier this season, we really did, and you wouldn't watch those games and say we didn't play well, because we did.
"It was a group of guys who were ripping everything away with every action they did. We didn't expect anything to happen, we made it happen, and that's what we have to do. We have to go back to the bare bones of things.
"Today was almost like we will do A,B & C and D & E all happen, but it doesn't quite work like that. You ram home A, you ram home B and sometimes C might get you some momentum for D & E to happen. Right now, we're not getting to the Ds and Es."

SAVE tax credit passes House after earlier defeat
BATON ROUGE - Lawmakers sided with Governor Bobby Jindal's budget dictates Thursday as both houses approved a bill amended to include the controversial SAVE tax credit, which turned into a major sticking point in budget negotiations this session.
With less than two hours before the mandatory end of the legislative session, the House voted 59-43 to approve SB93 with the SAVE credit amendment. The Senate earlier approved the bill 30-9.
The SAVE tax credit would assess a fee on college and university students but simultaneously offset that fee with a tax credit. The tax credit could then be used by Jindal to claim the overall budget remains revenue neutral, while still funneling more revenue to higher education institutions.
House Democrats and other critics of the SAVE credit mounted a last-minute filibuster attempt to stop the bill. The House Ways and Means Committee deferred the credit earlier in the session, and Rep. Jon Bel Edwards (D-LA) called it an "embarrassment" meant to avoid a veto from the governor.
Lawmakers moved on to other tax bills awaiting final approval in the last hour-and-a-half of the session, which must end by 6 p.m. The state is facing a $1.6 billion budget shortfall which threatens steep cuts to health care and higher education.

The calendar says it is fall and today the sun is brilliant but there is definitely a change coming - it is no longer the soft warm breezes of summer but the brisk winds of the northeast that are threatening to call an end (hopefully temporarily) to summer's warm days. The cooler evenings are bringing changes to my garden as well. The hydrangeas bright blues are now subdued greens and lavenders and many leaves are dressing themselves in golds and reds.
My last arrangement had a few hydrangea blossoms and as they dry so wonderfully on their own - I saved them to use again - adding some of my favorite roses from the yard. They are a soft delicate white with very tender pink undertones. I love how the delicateness of each flower compliments the other.
Some may call this recycling but I am choosing to call it re-using.:)

Gastroenteritis, commonly called the tummy flu is basically inflammation of the stomach and/or intestines. It's a disease most commonly caused by viruses but can also be caused by some bacteria and rarely by parasites, antibiotics, and other medications.
Common viruses that cause gastroenteritis are
- Rotavirus
Most common bacteria that cause this disease are
- Coli
- Staphyloccocus
- Salmonella
- Bacillus
- Enteroccoci
Regardless of the cause the symptoms are the same
- Diarrhea (Loose watery stools)
- Vomiting
- Abdominal cramps.
Other associated symptoms can be
- Fever
- Body aches
The most serious consequence of gastroenteritis is dehydration caused by large amount of fluid loss in diarrhea and vomiting. This can be a particularly dangerous and even fatal in young children. In fact gastroenteritis is one of the leading causes of death among children under 5 years of age in developing countries. The most common reason is severe dehydration and failure of timely re-hydration therapy.
Watch out for signs of dehydration which include
- Extreme thirst
- Loss of skin turgor
- Dry mouth, lips and eyes
- Lethargy
- Dizziness
- Decreased urine
Treatment of gastroenteritis is aimed at prevention of dehydration. As mentioned above the most common cause is viral infection so antibiotics will not work in such cases. Plenty of oral fluid in take is at the heart of therapy. Oral re-hydration solutions (ORS) which are available over the counter must be consumed to replace electrolytes and minerals. Fruit juices and sports drinks are also helpful. Viral infections mostly resolve on their own within 3-5 days. If however the illness lasts longer and is associated with high grade fever, blood in stools, or severe dehydration then immediate medical attention must be sought. Bacterial or parasitic infections may require antibiotic therapy. Severe dehydration may require admission and intravenous fluid replacement.
Gastroenteritis can be prevented by taking following measures
- Hand washing with soap before eating food and after using toilet
- Avoid eating stale or reheated food
- Avoid eating undercooked food
- Washing fruits and vegetables before eating
For young children Rotavirus vaccine is available which gives immunity against the virus and is one of the most important tools in prevention of Rotavirus infection.
Seek immediate medical treatment if:
- Symptoms last more than 2 days
- Your are unable to keep fluids down
- You see blood or mucous in your stool
- You vomit red or black material
- You have a ever of 101°F (38.3°C) or greater
- You have localized or persistent abdominal pain
At Life Savers Emergency Room, we are fully equipped to diagnose and treat intestinal infections with our on site pharmacy, laboratory and X-ray department. We have radiology services on call 24/7 as well as surgical specialists on call for your care.*
