guest: fascism is something that political scientists disagree on very the most usual definition of fascism talk about this as involving the heavy use of the state for its authoritarian purposes. typically, with the economy remaining relatively free. on the one hand you see some of authoritarian power where they round up people in the middle of the night and on the other hand you also see big business and enterprises doing reasonably well and frequently having supported fascist regimes like in italy and in germany during the 1930's. host: during the gathering of the tea parties and what not, it was not uncommon for critics of the president to call him a socialist and a fascist. is that possible to be both? guest: i don't think so. they have similarities where you see the state playing an important role in ideology. they are pretty incompatible. if you look at the classic vegetarian into the 1930's, among the first people they rounded up for the socialists, the communists and the social democrats. if you read adolph hitler's book, mein kampf, he ranted about the jews but he also rented about

we have to remember that italian fascism was not the same as german nazism which was a spinoff of fascismmany things that were practiced by the nazis were not practiced by the fascists. the ideas were also very different for the fascist did not have a "mein kampf." you also have to look at the united states. we do in practice our democratic principle perfectly, either. our foreign-policy -- we will use you and regulations against iraq for them by letting things and we will not use that against the right wing of the israeli nation when they colonize against the international requirements for them to stay out of the west bank. it is very hypocritical on how we practice our own politics. we have to look at the way certain things were written like communism and how it was supposed to benefit people and we have to look at how it was mis-practiced in places like russia. people get confused in this country as far as the terms. guest: there is something to that. the communists and socialists believed genuinely that they were going to usher in a new utopian freedom. they also used an extremely bru

between democracy and fascism. am here to tell you as a devotional muslim, that while my family escaped much of this conflict in the 1960's and left the fascism of the syrian government, it was clear on 9/11 that they followed us to united states. we have dedicated our lives to fighting this conflict. our leaders in washington need to stop being ideas. these are not a run-of-the-mill criminals. -- are leaders need to stop being naiive. these are enemy combatants. our enemies are k.s.m, hamas, hezbollah, the taliban, the bureaucrats in iran, some of those leaders in saudi arabia and others. i had the honor of serving in the u.s. navy 11 years after a military scholarship. the whole time i never once felt hyphenated or labeled. i served proudly as an american. let us not to give this platform to al qaeda and mohammad. let us not give that to them. we formed the american islamic form for democracy to build a future of our faith that is not in conflict with liberty, or democracy. this is a clear and present danger to m

the climate-gate scandal indicates this was going on, and i call at scientific fascism.we should not be making any decisions that will cause the american ratepayer billions or trillions of dollars of higher electric and natural gas bills based upon scientific fascism. the u.n. should throw the red flag. and should call a timeout. if it takes a year or two to get to the bottom of the scandal, so be it. they relied on the scientists, justifiably in my opinion. it is now time for us to get real scientific information, scientific information that has been thoroughly and vigorously peer reviewed rather than having the united nations and its scientific agency be part of a propaganda organ for a preconceived notion. thank you. >> i am the warm and fuzzy technical version of jim sensenbrenner. [laughter] yesterday, i bought a new car. or, a new used car. if the climate change bill had passed and it was the law and it was the year 2015, i would've gone out and bought a new bicycle. then i went and hopped on a plane to fly to washington, d.c., last night. if we fast forward to 201

it has pawned terms such as ial ialamo-fascism. created enormous hatred and division.he hatreds will beginç to diminish and supporters of al qaeda realize this not leading them anywhere and not helping their people and that the islamic faith will go through its own reformation and come out the other side as something that is more humane and doesn't encourage this kind of behavior. this has been a decade characterized byç war, hatred, division and economic dislocation and we are not out of it yet. host: alfred next from algiers, louisiana, good morning. caller: good morning. nice to here these two people dance around andç just spew thr propaganda.ç one -- host: why do you call it propaganda, caller? caller: because they don't report for us. they don't report about the people. they report for the system. theyçç report for the militar industrial complex. they don't getç to the root causes. they danced around 9/11. the -- let's look at the cause of 9/11. no one touches that taboo subject. for instance, i'm just a citizen journalist. i sit here and do my reading and

attacking the scientists who have worked decades on this problem so far as to accuse them of scientific fascism. this is an insult to america's best and brightest scientists. the science that we are relying upon is the science of nasa, the science of noaa, the national academy of sciences and our united states military. that is the evidence that we are relying upon. men and women who had nothing to do with the emails and whose work has shown climate change is real and a danger to public health. the science activities have -- scientists have used a rigorous approach to come to consensus that evidence of global warming is unequivocal. the emails were transparent and debated in open literature at that time. additionally, the american association of advancement for science has re-afffirmed its statement that global climate change caused by human activities is now under way and is a growing threat to society. on december 4, just a couple of days ago, more than 25 leading u.s. scientists sent an open letter. here's what they said. the said the content of the stolen emails has no impact what soever on
