In writing Liberal Fascism, Goldberg has provided his ideological thinking buddies with something truly invaluable: a de facto day off. Instead of having to come up with their own columns on why it's hateful to hate people who hate other people who hate John McCain, or the gay agenda ("pick up milk and eggs, take the shitzu to the groom, obtain basic right of contract, express unwarranted degree of sympathy for troubled female pop star"), or something about George Soros having the bad manners not to have died in the Holocaust, our gentle Republic's movement conservative pundits all get to do a pre-fabricated column on Liberal Fascism, each making the following points:

1. That H.G. Wells once said something about how we need "liberal fascism," and we should ignore the fact that he used the qualifier "liberal" and thus didn't consider fascism to be inherently liberal in and of itself and instead just move on to the subject of the Nazis

2. That the Nazis were really big on health, unlike today's conservatives, who presumably spend their days drinking gasoline and cutting off their fingers

3. That the Nazis were similarly big on regulating the health of others, unlike today's conservatives, all of whom presumably want to decriminalize marijuana yesterday

4. Look at me, I'm a conservative columnist, yippity skippity

... which is to say that all of these columns are pretty much interchangeable. Except for this one by Thomas Sowell, in which he makes point #1:

Famed British novelist and prominent Fabian socialist H.G. Wells called for "Liberal Fascism," saying "the world is sick of parliamentary politics."

As mentioned above, point #1 is ubiquitous among the various pro-Liberal Fascism columns of the past week. What sets this particular incarnation apart, though, is its author, who himself was quite "sick of parliamentary politics" not too long ago, when he wrote the following:

When I see the worsening degeneracy in our politicians, our media, our educators, and our intelligentsia, I can't help wondering if the day may yet come when the only thing that can save this country is a military coup.

As you may have noticed, that column appeared in National Review - your official source for keen insight into how liberals are akin to fascists, and, incidentally, the only mainstream political opinion outlet of which I am aware that has printed material in favor of a military takeover of the United States of America.
