Read Them And Weep...
A big hat tip to Left of Center for this trip on the information highway...
14 Points of Fascism...
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
4. Supremacy of the Military
5. Rampant Sexism
6. Controlled Mass Media
7. Obsession with National Security
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined
9. Corporate Power is Protected
10. Labor Power is Suppressed
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
14. Fraudulent Elections
Click on the link for a really eye-popping read on all these points. While we're all fairly well aquainted with these topics...there is always something new to learn. The lesson here is that America is being played for a bunch of chumps...and come November you just might be able to turn the tables a tad for Democracy and Lady Liberty in the form of a little voting insurgency...if you know what I mean!

The cartoon says it all. America's headed down a sl;ippery slope which will eventually lead to our utter destruction. New Orleans was just the start.

Hi from Beijing. Yep this is the dirty little secret that no one want to mention except for a few brave bloggers. Students of history have seen this before...maybe in a slightly different form but the same none the less. This is all the more reason to take the next two elections as possibly determining the fate of the nation.

People in this country just don't get it so it doesn't matter.
