Fascism On The Rise
The boys on the right would be proud of this Republic and the direction we are headed. Free speech seems to be as endangered today as it was in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. Cops tasering a kid in Florida because he went on too long in questioning John Kerry, tear gassing anti-war demonstrators in DC, Invading 3rd world countries to force "democracy" on them at gunpoint and then we deny civil liberties at home? Nice example for the rest of the world. I have always feared the rise of the police state after discovering George Orwell in high school, and now seeing the actions of my government and its agents I fear it even more. I mean c'mon the Patriot Act? Renaming 9-11 "Patriots Day." Our civil liberties are in danger from the right and the left in this country. Hillary Clinton kicks the code pink anti-war group out of her speeches, W does not allow protestors within earshot of his appearances. Things are getting bad, and we have to speak out. If we don't, we'll wake up one morning and realize our birthright given to us by the Founders is gone. powerful forces in this country would very much like to limit your right to speak freely, assemble, and bear arms. We must be vigilent.Labels: fascism, War on the 1st amendment

I'm with ya all the way.
If we speak out, there is a possibility we might get the old taser shot six or seven times.
What a country we live in this day and time.
Good post. I have to think one reason the Dems aren't out to impeach Bush and set things right could be that they have their eyes on all that unilateral executive power Bush/Cheney have built up. Unless that crap is rolled back, it could be scary regardless of which party gets the White House in 2008. If either party tries to exercise power the way Bush and Cheney have after 1/09, I think we will be well on the way to "America, RIP" with something wicked this way coming.
