Horse, none of those three questions can directly measure an individual's degree of adherence to any form of fascism. The ADL might think so, but they have ulterior motivations. Some comments in order:
An issue much more broad than one's political faction of choice.
There are any number of reasons to want to stay out of war.
Another broad question with a variety of answers and motivations.
The founding fathers would have been accused of being fascists today, and in almost every history class, are treated like NAZIs. Yet they were in favor of limiting authority. The Marxists among us do not want government power to be limited.
More than ever we need an authority-limiting sort of patriot who is willing to unhand the implements of empire from those who have seized it illegitimately. But should this succeed, preferably via constitutional means, the constitution itself will need to be scrapped and reconstructed along the lines of the Swiss confederacy. Any Swiss canton may leave the confederacy at any time it wishes, for example.
I have no problem with a touch of fascism directed at appropriate targets. I'm sure the Confederates would be fascistic to the Union, as Hitler would be to the Bolsheviks. No biggie. I like political diversity.

I always ask left wing loons for one single example of Hitler calling for less government, that usually ends any discussion.
