True liberals know that the Democratic party, funded by big business and big labor, is their enemy and true conservatives know that the Republican party, funded by the same groups, are their enemy. Think about it.

Case in point: I’m in a book. In fact, I think I’ve been written about a few times in mainstream political books that have been published in the last year. You think that might be pretty cool — that maybe I’m starting this column out on this topic because I’m proud of it….and maybe I would be, but every single one of the books take something I’m very proud of having said completely out of context and use it to promote some sort of outdated, increasingly meaningless political paradigm of “left” and “right”.

Here’s what the idiots John Amato and Dave Neiwert write about me in their new book, Over the Cliff:

Fox News’s role in driving these crowd sizes cannot be understated; without its open promotion of the Tea Parties, it’s unlikely the movement would have attracted more than a quarter of these crowds in a much smaller number of cities. And as you might expect, on the day of the protests, Fox’s coverage was full-throated.

Things started off swimmingly with Fox Business Network anchor Cody Willard reporting from a Tea Party in Boston. He told his interview subjects: “I’m on your side. I’m trying to take down the Fed.” Willard became even more excited a little later, exclaiming: “Guys, when are we going to wake up and start fighting the fascism that seems to be permeating the country? The fascism– the definition of it is big business and government getting in bed together. That is what these people are fighting. We have about 700 people here. They are starting to rally!”

That’s pretty close to what I said…you might think people writing a whole book about a topic like this might have bothered to do a little homework about me instead of just blindly quoting Jon Stewart’s shameful twisting of my same words from that same fateful first new Boston Tea Party:

Cody Willard calling out Jon Stewart

I clearly did not ONLY say Obama’s Democratic Administration and the current Congress are “fascist”; I CLEARLY AND REPEATED CALLED OUT BOTH THE REPUBLICANS AND THE DEMOCRATS IN POWER FOR BEING “FASCIST” IN THE ACTUAL CLIP.

Click here to see the clip and what I actually said. I talked about how The Constitution itself is only 6 pages long and over which every single word was debated and fought contrasted by the 1,071 page stimulus package that no Republican or Democrat lawmaker bothered to read before signing into law. I say “the people out here are upset and angry and are fighting the Republicans and the Democrats.” I call out the “Republican-led $160 billion stimulus package from 2007″ before I call out the “$800 billion Republican/Democrat Fascist Stimulus package”, finishing that sentence by asking the question from the clip that The Daily Show ran and said was me ranting about Obama: “Guys, when are we going to wake up and start fighting the fascism that’s permeating this country?”

If Mussolini himself defined fascism as the marriage of government and business and the Republican/Democrat regime in power has given three times more in outright welfare infusions for the people rich enough but stupid enough to have risked their money on big bank or insurance or car stocks and bonds and hedges than they allocate every single year for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and food stamps in this country, then what do you call what’s happening in the last year?

See, the sham of “left” vs. “right” is over. They’re both so owned by corporate interests, that they’ve literally handed trillions of dollars to shareholders of only the biggest corporations in this country.

And now the government owns these corporations. And that’s, by definition, fascism. And that was done fully and equally by Republicans and Democrats now in power.

There is no longer any concept of “right” and “left” when each party in this country. The Democrats aren’t “left” or they wouldn’t have written a check for trillions of dollars in welfare to bankers on Wall Street. And Republicans aren’t “right” or they wouldn’t have written a check for trillions of dollars of welfare for bankers on Wall Street. If you’re okay with some form of welfare and liberalism then you should be as pissed as I am about the bailouts and all the money they’ve wasted that could have gone towards helping the needy and poor instead. And if you’re okay with self-reliance and constitutional rights then you should also be as pissed as I am about the bailouts being the single largest act of wealth redistribution in the history of this country, nay, planet.

I’m happy to debate the merits of “left” and “right”, but that has nothing to do with the Obama or the Bush administrations, both of which were and are corporatist…which is, yes, indeed, just a nicer word for fascist. I’ve called out idiot “conservatives” at the National Review for supporting the leftist/socialist policies (including the bailouts which are indeed leftist/socialist by definition) of Bush, McCain, Palin et al. And I guess now I’ll call out this idiot “liberal” from CrooksAndLiars, John Amato, and his equally idiotic free lancing “liberal” cohort, Dave Neiwert for regurgitating nonsense and purposefully helping to perpetuate the sham of partisan politics.

Next thing you know, we’ll see “liberals/lefties” coalesce behind tax incentives for solar-related corporations like First Solar and SunTech Power. Go liberals! Wait, isn’t that a conservative stance, to give welfare tax credits to big corporations…left and right is dead in the US today.

I’m going back to my apps now.
