I totally agree. If a profoundly undemocratic individual or party uses the electoral process to ascend to power, they shouldn't be allowed to. That's how the Nazis got to power in 1929. Palin, McCain and most of the GOP are hostile to the US Constitution which is the foundation of our system of government. McCain's views are clearly fascist, and Palin is so extreme that it's nearly impossible to find an equivalent to her particular brand of extremism unless we go back as far as medieval Europe. A military coup, assisted by millions of civilians should prevent fascism from taking over. Our nation has drifted so far toward militaristic and religious fascism, that a civil war is probably the only thing that can save us from becoming the Fourth Reich.
