Primary Election 2012: Conservative Fears Of Permanent Welfare State May Create Wild Ride

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- At this weekend's South Carolina GOP convention, Republican lawmakers warned that a second term for President Obama would kill America's independent spirit and guarantee a permanent big government welfare state. If voters agree, look out. The Republican primary may turn out to be a wild ride, and a surprise candidate could emerge late in the game.

Sen. Jim DeMint, the Palmetto State's conservative firebrand, has said for months said the upcoming presidential election "is our last chance to get it right." "2012 is when we have to lay it all on the line," DeMint told a few thousand delegates. "We have to go to the mat."

"There's no question that we are moving, step by step, closer to socialism. So that puts democracy at risk to some extent," Rep. Tim Scott, a Republican who represents South Carolina's 1st district, said in an interview. "How much, how soon, I'm not sure. But if you're financially bankrupt, I think everything's at risk."

Rick Santorum, a possible candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, even raised the specter of Benito Mussolini's Fascist Italy in a speech here Friday night while explaining why his grandfather emigrated to the U.S. His uncle, he said, "used to get up in a brown shirt and march and be told how to be a good little fascist."

"I don't know, maybe they called it early pre-K or something like that, that the government sponsored to get your children in there so they can indoctrinate them," Santorum said.

It's unclear how deeply grassroots conservatives have internalized and processed these dire warnings from party leaders. Interviews with several delegates at the South Carolina GOP's annual convention this weekend revealed basic agreement with the rhetoric of Republican leaders. But many of them also had a hard time expressing the specific ways in which they see the growth of government and of the federal debt impacting their every day lives.

4. Laugh at your own risk.

We didn't think there was any way the "populace" would believe the cries of socialism, Marxism, communism, "this president is the biggest socialist in the history of the republic", and all of the other BS the r's were spouting before the 2010 election and yet they won the house. These people are very good at manipulating public perception.

5. We are moving closer to socialism?

Really?

I don't see it. Just more proof these loons have no fucking clue what socialism is.

[Aerows]

8. They don't

I asked one just the other day to name a socialist country.

Reply? *crickets* *crickets*

[Jackpine Radical]

9. But they DO have more than a fucking clue about how to manipulate the masses.

And "socialism" (which is kinda indistinguishable from fascism, communism & probably antidisestablishmentarianism in the little pea brains of their followers) is one of their favorite bogeyman words. The fact that the Illiterati have no idea what it means is a benefit. All they know is that it has something to do with taking stuff from honest working people & giving it to the freeloaders. Which means, of course, that they have socialism confused with capitalism.

17. Santorium...YOU LIE

We wore black shirts...oops did I say that out loud?

The Blackshirts (Italian: camicie nere, CCNN, or squadristi) were Fascist paramilitary groups in Italy during the period immediately following World War I and until the end of World War II. Blackshirts were officially known as the Voluntary Militia for National Security (Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale, or MVSN).

The term was later applied to a similar group serving the British Union of Fascists before World War II, to the SS in Nazi Germany, and to members of a quasi-political organization in India.

Inspired by the military prowess and black uniforms of the Arditi, Italy's elite storm troops of World War I, the Fascist Blackshirts were organized by Benito Mussolini as the military tool of his political movement.<1> The founders of the paramilitary groups were nationalist intellectuals, former army officers and young landowners opposing peasants' and country labourers' unions. Their methods became harsher as Mussolini's power grew, and they used violence and intimidation against Mussolini's opponents.

In 1943 They morphed into the Republican national Guard

The Italian Republican National Guard (Guardia Nazionale Repubblicana, or GNR) was a paramilitary force of the Italian Social Republic created by decree on December 8, 1943, replacing the Carabinieri and the National Security Volunteer Militia (MVSN). General Renato Ricci appointed as its commandant. Major General Italian Romegiall was appointed vice commandant and Major General Nicolò Nicchiarelli became the chief of general staff.

The GNR included former MVSN militiamen, police officers, and members of the Italian Africa Police (the PAIRS). On August 15, 1944, the Republican National Guard became a part of the army of the Italian Social Republic. It continued carrying out security tasks behind the lines and provided aid to German forces. On August 21, 1944 Benito Mussolini assumed direct command. On August 23, 1944 a separate division, GNR Etna, was formed in Brescia under the command of General Violente, to perform anti-paratrooper and anti-aircraft duties. Another division, GNR Vesuvio, was later formed.
