Democrats and other leftists have always legislated against the will of the people. And they have depended on lies and misdirection to get away with it, trying to persuade people they aren't doing what they're doing. Or that conservatives would somehow be worse. Everything from "If you like your health plan you can keep your health plan" to "Our plan will lower the costs of <whatever>" to "Well, Republicans do it too, trust us!"
One of the latter has popped up again, as it does every few years. A nationally known college-test-prep manual has announced that Fascists are "right-wing", despite their signature tendencies to use big government to take over and run things (a wholly leftist characteristic).
And in the same breath equated conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas with the Ku Klux Klan. Never mind that Thomas himself is black, and has opposed the Klan with every fiber of his being since birth, as they have opposed him. Nor the fact that the Klan was founded by Democrats, staffed and supported by them for a century or more, and remains majority-Democrat to this day.
Normal people with a sensible grasp on reality know the facts, of course, and regard such silly lies with the contempt they deserve, if they pay any attention to them at all. But these latest fibs appear in journals aimed at young people - high school students in fact. Another signature trait of the Left, is to inculcate young people who haven't yet learned the facts, with lies such as these to generate a loyal (if misguided) voter base.
Well, they're at it again.
And so the battle of truth vs. lies goes on. As long as the leftists keep telling lies, conservatives have to remain at war with them, whether they like it or not.
The good news is, liberals have to lie, and risk getting caught and exposed, to promote their unwanted agenda.
While all conservatives have to do, is tel the truth about what conservatives want... and point out the truth about what the liberals are doing.
While enduring complaints that it's disgraceful how acrimonious politics has become, and how we should all get along instead.

Barron's AP Test Prep Guide: Clarence Thomas Is A Fascist In League With KKK
Posted Monday, March 9th 2015 @ 9am by Eric Owens
The latest version of a top-selling study guide for the Advanced Placement European History exam explains the French Revolution with a chart which identifies Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as a fascist and pairs him with the Ku Klux Klan.
“Barron’s AP European History” (7th edition) makes the claim, intended for consumption by American high school students, on page 168. The chart attempts to compare modern American political affiliations with the various factions involved in the French Revolution.
The chart moves politically from left to right.
The far right of the chart is labeled “fascist.” The authors demonstrate modern-day “fascists” by pairing “Clarence Thomas and the KKK” in the same box.
Barron’s typifies the far right during the French Revolution with “wealthy people who fled France.”
The far left of the same chart is labeled “Communist.” For the French Revolution, “poor city dwellers” represent the far left. For today’s politics, the authors choose “anarchists.”
The chart as a whole is convoluted yet crudely, embarrassingly simplified.
The definitions the authors use for the middle parts of their political spectrum (“leftist,” “liberal,” “moderate,” “conservative” and “right wing”) are dubious.
For example, they describe “conservative” as “those against change/most Republicans.” They describe “liberal” as “those in favor or gradual change…most Democrats.”
