Donald Trump’s Supreme Court Justice nominee Neil Gorsuch founded and was the president of a club called ‘Fascism Forever’ during high school according to The Daily Mail.
The club, set up against the “increasingly left-wing tendencies of faculty” at Georgetown Preparatory near Washington D.C., was started by Gorsuch when he was a freshman.
He continued running the club until he graduated in 1985.
Below is a page from Gorsuch’s senior yearbook:
Along with the Fascism Forever Club, the yearbook lists some of his other activities and memberships, including President of the Yard, “Lousy Spanish Student”, and President of Committee to reform The Beast:
The fascist club wasn’t the only window into Gorsuch’s far-right conservative past. According to the Daily Mail:
One yearbook photo showed the high school senior kicking back in a chair in a button-down shirt and tie while reading William F. Buckley’s 1959 book ‘Up from Liberalism’, a key text of the conservative movement.
After high school, Neil Gorsuch attended Columbia University and chose the following 1967 Henry Kissinger quote to accompany his yearbook photo: “The illegal we do immediately, the unconstitutional takes a little longer”.
Today, Gorsuch has the praise of pretty much every right-wing group including the Heritage Foundation, the Faith and Freedom Coalition, and the NRA.
What do you make of his past? Does this make Gorsuch an unacceptable choice for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court? Let us know on Facebook and in the comments below.

He must get "paid" to repost articles to sites and doesn't even read them.
He is like the left preying on simple minds hoping to feast on their naivete.

I post stuff like this because it's amusing watching the Trump worshipers' idiotic comments.

Ha! Gorsuch obviously has a cheeky sense of humor. Reminds of the GOP back in Reagan's days. The Democrats started hosting a nationwide meeting for liberals they called the "Renaissance Weekend".
The Republicans replied by having their own weekend retreats they entitled "The Dark Ages Weekend".
The Right got the satire. The Leftists just got the vapors.

FAKE HEADLINE
Anyone with a three figure IQ should be able to see that this cameo, probably written by a leftward yearbook contributor, was inserted as a jibe roasting Gorsuch's constitutionalist politics.
THEY COULDN'T FIND A PUBIC HAIR, BUT THEY'LL NAIL TOGETHER WHATEVER THEY CAN FIND AND LEAD WITH IT.

Trump’s Supreme Court Pick Founded the ‘Fascism Forever Club’...
"The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer"
Great pick Trump!(
Great fuckup, Deckard.
No, Neil Gorsuch did not start a ‘Fascism Forever’ club at his Jesuit high schoolMichael O'Loughlin
America; The Jesuit Review
February 02, 2017[excerpt]
When it came time to write his senior biography for the yearbook, he would make light of the divide between his conservative political beliefs and those of the more liberal faculty and students.
He wrote that he founded and led the “Fascism Forever Club,” though those with knowledge of the school back in the 1980s say there was no such club. The mention of it in the yearbook was a tongue-in-cheek attempt to poke fun at liberal peers who teased him about his fierce conservatism.
It was “a total joke,” said Steve Ochs, a history teacher at Georgetown Prep who was the student government advisor during Mr. Gorsuch’s junior and senior years at the Bethesda, Md., school.
“There was no club at a Jesuit school about young fascists,” he told America. “The students would create fictitious clubs; they would have fictitious activities. They were all inside jokes on their senior pages.”
(The yearbook’s mention of the club is not the only item on Mr. Gorsuch’s profile that is raising eyebrows in some circles: A sarcastic quote from Henry Kissinger about how to get away with unconstitutional activities appears in both his prep school yearbook as well as his Columbia University yearbook.)

Claim: Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch founded a 'Fascism Forever' club at Georgetown Prep and made white separatist/anti-Semitic statements.FALSE
[...]
The Daily Mail cited an online archive of yearbooks as their source for the report.
However, we contacted Georgetown Preparatory School to verify whether a "Fascism Forever" club operated in or around that school in 1985, and director of communications Patrick Coyle told us that “no such club ever existed" there.

Oh my goodness. “Fascism Forever”? This is big news! Quick, everybody tweet it out as quickly as possible. Warp speed, Mr. Sulu!
Just one problem. It’s not true.

You make a great point. The ONLY difference besides LP or LF and FR is that FR set rules and ENFORCE THEM.... thus you got banned. Normal discussion is held there, because discussion is POLICED on a privately owned site.... here it's full of conspiracy kooks, pothead and agenda drug addict lovers... and the normal posters are left with the only discussion the "anything goes anarchist" understand... LIBTARD. Yes, of course, a libtard hates being called a libtard.
Let me ask you something, libtard. Do you tolerate terms like:
Bootlicker
Brownshirt
Fascist
Government lover
and Nazi?.... cause I noticed you didn't mention any of them.
Seems to me, like the rioting shitbag mob that's been acting like Decktard since the inauguration, you only TOLERATE opinions you agree with.
You fucking libtard.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight !!!

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."Theodore Roosevelt-1907.
I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur

Neil Gorsuch, reading infamous pot smoking hippy "conservative" William F. Buckley, who inspired Timothy Leary and a whole generation to tune in, turn on, and drop out.
