We need to start redefining conservatism. |

I like to think of it as a complete lack of empathy. Dont believe me? Ask Bill O'Reilly about the Japan earthquake and which way the tides go. Or ask any number of Fux News viewers about what they think of teacher salaries. Or Rush Limbaugh what he thinks of people suffering from Parkinsons. And so on.

Fascists believe that a nation is an organic community that requires strong leadership, singular collective identity, and the will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong.<15> They claim that culture is created by the collective national society and its state, that cultural ideas are what give individuals identity, and thus they reject individualism.<15> Viewing the nation as an integrated collective community, they see pluralism as a dysfunctional aspect of society, and justify a totalitarian state as a means to represent the nation in its entirety.<16><17> Fascists advocate the creation of a single-party state.<18> Fascist governments forbid and suppress opposition to the fascist state and the fascist movement.<19>

3. Certainly, lack of empathy is a prerequisite. |

That's what happens when you emulate sociopaths like Ayn Rand.
