Supply side? The stuff W's dad called Voodoo Economics?

And don't doubt anything I know, kiddiepool. I chose the word speciffically. fascism being a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control. Oliver North, an unlected member of the Reagan administration, concieved and executed an illegal foreign policy. Regan called the man (and this was after he'd been exposed) a national hero. The rights of the citizens to make law through their duly elected representatives were countermanded by a small power elite who believed they had the right to ignore popular will in order to ensure security. Reagan approved. I think calling that mildly facistic is kind.

But then Reagan never could accept that he traded arms for hostages even though he supplied Iran with arms in return for which they freed the hostages. Not realizing that calling a man who highjacked a countries foreign policy a 'national hero' is bad... well, a fella like that could lay a wreath in a cemetary full of SS officers.
