It's close because.. It's more laws to enforce, further pressing the 'fear the gubment' button. More law = moar gubment, moar gubment = police state. Yes, it's broad, but it's generally true, too. Not that I'd expect you to believe nor understand it.

Communism
Socialism
Capitalism
Conservatism
Extreme Conservatism - Tea baggers
Fascism - Nazi Germany

Learn it, know it, live it.

But they're not fascist, they're somehow considered patriotic - but only in the mind of a retard.

In any case, what did that have to do with you suggesting that Joe Tea Party or active representatives would completely gut all social programs, deport every immigrant (see: everyone), let people starve to death in the street, gut research for cancer?

Yes I believe that, because their goal is to not pay any taxes, and without revenue, all programs are gutted. And their rationale is that the country didn't need taxes before the two World Wars so why do we need them now?
