Liberalism is becoming fascism 'cause ...

[muriel_volestrangler]

1. A good working explanation of the reality of conservatism:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.

… As the core proposition of conservatism is indefensible if stated baldly, it has always been surrounded by an elaborate backwash of pseudophilosophy, amounting over time to millions of pages.

That was a comment on another blog, and Fred Clark expands on it in his own blog. But we see that in this case: the religious right want to be able to discriminate, while complaining that laws that protect the people they have designated as the "out-group" are somehow wrong. And the pseudophilosophy in this case is "stopping us discriminating is fascism".
