Sarah Palin on the possibility of joining a new political party:
“I love the name of that party — the ‘Freedom Party,’” Palin said.
So did Jake Featherston, which is why he used it as the name of his fascist party:
The Freedom Party was founded in Richmond, Virginia in 1917, immediately after the Great War by a man named Anthony Dresser. Its rather vague ideology, which was made Party policy after Jake Featherston took control, encompassed extreme Confederate nationalism and white supremacy, and hatred for blacks, socialists, the United States, and the Southern aristocracy that dominated the political and military establishments.
Of course, that was in Harry Turtledove's alternate history. I'm sure Palin/Mark Levin's Freedom Party will be very different. Right?
