But, old Benito decided to bend the country's knee to Hitler and it temporarily went out of favor in Democratic circles. I say temporarily because I see similarities espoused by much of the left in this country and the tendency of Dem politicians to at least appear to be on the bleeding edge of those desires, although I suspect rational heads and the constitutional limitations on government we enjoy will eventually prevail before it becomes a governing ideology.
I'm not so comfortable on the social side of things, the left dominates popular culture through entertainment and other media, and it shows.
