As Always, The Real Fascists In America Are Found On The Left

The words "fascism" and "fascist" are thrown around a lot these days. Most frequently we see these epithets in the blogs and tweets of so-called "progressives" (until recently called liberals, until they rebranded themselves, after realizing the word liberal had become associated with losers). We see these expletives all too frequently in the mainstream media, which is thoroughly left-wing now.
And at whom is this invective aimed? Almost invariably, this abusive term is directed at conservatives — politicians, government officials, public policy players, and intellectuals.
