Part of being a paleoconservative is facing down hostile remarks and insults by the usual suspects of the Left and the neocon Right. Aside from the ubiquitous "racist" (defined by VDARE's Peter Brimelow as "someone who's winning an argument with a liberal"), used in response to the most inoffensive, barely un-PC remark, there is also the more emotionally-laden "Nazi" or "fascist", the latter used by the more intellectually inclined. Being a political science major (also known as: the no-gainful-employment-prospects/stepping-stone-to-law-school major) in a large CUNY school, I quickly learned what it's like to face a crowd of screaming, screeching, hysteric liberals. In 2006, one of my professors, a vaguely libertarian young man from Grenada, whose professional dream was to write a history of the Armenian genocide (go figure!), announced at the start of class that Pinochet passed away the previous day. An especially annoying girl, born and raised in Sweden to Chilean parents started hooting and clapping. In response, I got up from my seat and said that Pinochet was a great man who saved Chile from communism and I have the deepest respect for him, adding that there are worse things a leader could do than off 3,000 or so commies. "You're a Nazi, you're a Nazi!!!", yelled the girl, dissolving into hysterics. I calmly rejoined that at least a dozen of my relatives died fighting the Nazis on the Eastern Front and asked how many of her ancestors fought against Hitler. The poor, flabbergasted professor abruptly switched to another topic.
