POPSThe definition of fascio It cannot be stated too many times that Mussolini himself recognized the ideas and writings of Woodrow Wilson in support of his ideology. Everyone should read Wilson's writings and speeches about why he is a Progressive. It is startling. We have seen under GW Bush and now at hyper-speed under Obama the rise of Wilsonian Progressivism, which is fascism. People often make the mistake of assuming the hate of Hitler and the brutality of Mussolini and other fascists is the definitive nature of Fascism. They are not. As highlighted in this clip, fascism has a specific meaning. This is where we are today. America was fascist-light under Woodrow Wilson. We are heading that way again. More power to the Fed, General Electric, liberty being evaporated by government/corporate paradigms such as energy, general electric, healthcare, auto industry, the integration of compulsory service and more to come.

POPSReinventing Reagan? All the 2008 Republican presidential candidates (except perhaps Ron Paul) tried to claim a Reagan legacy. John McCain said Reagan was one of his heroes. This is hardly surprising, since Reagan was unquestionably a great vote getter; he won two elections for governor of California and two for president, and not one of them was close. California's governor Reagan stood mainly for "tear gas and police." Anyone else remember this? According to his former chief of staff, many presidential activities were strongly affected by the advice of his wife's astrologer. A president should be judged not by his personal life or his "passionate convictions," but by what his administration actually does. His legacy includes: big tax cuts for the rich and record budget deficits, he tripled the national debt, distorted the Russian threat, and pushed for a “winnable” nuclear war that would “only” cost a few million US lives.

POPS@davewiner on new vs. old baseball stadiums I love this line: "whether the Catholic Church would tear down the Vatican just to get some skyboxes." I'm a life long Yankees fan, but for some reason, i just don't much interest in the new stadium. Perhaps it's because the Steinbrenner sons often make me embarrassed to be a yankee fan, so some little part of me doesn't like supporting them. There really is nothing like tradition and nostalgia in sports - by moving to a new stadium, the feeling of being part of the past that you get when you're at Fenway is gone for now from Yankee stadium.

POPSAmerica's favorite bogeyman We all need a good enemy. As U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates once shrewdly pointed out, the talk of a new Cold War fills him “with nostalgia for a less complex time.” Indeed, the world made a glib sort of sense back then — communism vs. capitalism, good vs. evil empire.

POPSBYE BYE BUSH more about Family of Secrets: "Russ Baker has the three most important attributes of any great investigative reporter: He is skeptical, he is fearless, and he is indefatigable. Whenever he examines anything-including the most allegedly well covered topics-he breaks important new ground." -David Margolick, author and contributing editor, Vanity Fair. "
