If you can't keep your Fascists straight, stay out of the conversation.

The very same radicals gave Lincoln fits during the war and came pretty close to impeaching Johnson.

What I find history cool is that back in those days the southern Democrats were referred to as Conservatives and the southern Republicans as Radicals.

A new York politician was called fascist because he was Italian American.
