Someone quoted Sinclair Lewis as saying, "Fascism will come to America waving a flag and carrying a cross."

He was wrong. Fascism will come under the guise of someone like Obama and his "yes we can" (what?) supporters. ACORN are the new Brownshirts. Check out Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg.

Said the aforementioned genius: "That anyone is surprised that this happening in America is beyond me."

"This," meaning the advent of fascism, which you infer from Sarah Palin's nomination? That doesn't deserve a response except that you really are loons.

"The Republican Party has been stoking the fires of hatred, fear and division for a generation and have used the fundamentalist fringe of American society just as Hilter and his hencemen stoked - and used - the Brownshirts to kill Communists and Socialists and muzzle all who disagreed with them."

Since the 1960s there have been endlessly unfair, shrill attacks on everything that could possibly get in the way of the Left's agenda. Long deprived of any effective voice by the mainstream media, conservatives have only recently found a voice through talk radio and the Internet. Conservatives are typically polite--you know, chumps. When threatened with leftist criticism in public, they blink helplessly and drop into silence. You know this, which is why your modus operandi plays on it. Meanwhile, the attacks from the Left on anything the slightest bit conservative or pro-liberty have grown only more and more shrill.

The fear, hatred, and division that beleaguers American politics today is mostly created and stoked by the Left, as anyone with half a brain knows very well. To say that it has come from the conservatives is follows the Left playbook to a T: if you are accused of something, or might be accused of something, then accuse the other side of the same thing, only say it louder and more forcefully. That is the tactic behind this stupid Salon.com article: Obama has an important, very revealing political relationship with a terrorist; so accuse the vice-presidential candidate of having a revealing political relationship with a terrorist. Never mind that the relationship was not important, that the person was perfectly harmless and far from being a terrorist, and that the views he expresses are not particularly radical but more traditionalist than anything. (Of course, for a leftist, traditionalism is very dangerous.)

"Let's not forget that their power only grew after the global economic collapse that started in 1929."

Would that be the power behind FDR's packing of the Supreme Court, behind the New Deal and other social programs, and the War on Poverty?

"As German Pastor Martin Niemöller lamented after World War II... Be afraid of these people, America. Very afraid."

No. Be afraid of demagogues in times of financial trouble, like this leftist idiot.

Now that we know Palin abused her power, what is McCain going to do about? Who is Sarah Palin????

If Obama were to be killed now or if GOD forbid he get elected as President it would be bad for his Family and for those who support him but this Nation will go on in better shape if he is not Elected because the TAX PLANS he has for this Nation will do far more harm than anything.Obama's plans will destroy the poor and middle class.He wants to tax every business and they in turn will pass those tax hikes on to us the Consumers.I for one cannot afford to pay more for anything muchless everything.If you think I am wrong ask any business person how they offset cost increases to themselves.Obama also plans to tax the top two methods of electrical generation in this Nation has to the tune of 15 billion a year.I use electricity to heat my home and have a very hard time paying the Bill now without extra taxes being added on to the bill.So Obama dying maybe a bad thing it will not Destroy this Nation as his being elected will.

Its odd that "right wing radicals" are not identified accurately.

They are fascists.

I have previously stated this comment on other boards, but believe that it is still worthy of mention here:

"Why am I left with the impression that the RNC is running a campaign based on the novel and screen play by Jerzy Kosinski, of the movie "Being There"..... "

Today I have come to a conclusion that one of my retirement goals will not be realized..... regardless of the current economic situation.

Someone correct me please, but I believe that I heard that Ms. Sarah won by a majority of 80%, for her current political office.

If that is the case, then I will not continue to plan a retirement celebration cruise to the State of Alaska.... as I really do not hold any desire to sponsor the economic condition of (80%), of a peoples that believe that they have the obligation and duty to secede from the Union.

Also, and to my disillusionment, with the latest correlation of the RNC campaign to the mind set of another tolerant American (ie. Geo. Wallace, et all)...

The RNC has proven once again, their true vision of "family values" that they proclaim to hold so dearly...

I also am lead to believe that the RNC proclamation of "Country First" is directly related to their choice of music as they cruise down the impoverished highways of America.

I my naive view, it is relativly simple to understand why they insist on a "drill baby drill" mindset.... in order to turn # 49 into a modern "Heuy style" Pelican state.

Hey... after all... if that's what they want, and if they can really achieve their heart's desire to splinter off in the way they want to.... then, so what.... and so be it.... let's have a share of their oil and let them live in the pool' they so desperately desire...

But, borrowing some phraseology and applying it to this writing...."this is only my opinion...I could be wrong..."

I was born in Berlin in 1929. I witnessed first-hand the activities of people like those who seek marginalize dissenters and those who question McCain and Palin. Ridiculing my post and calling into question my sanity are hallmarks of their behavior. Make no mistake, Fascism in Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Hungary and elsewhere in the 1920's was an evil borne of the Right. What I witnessed in Germany as a child and what I'm seeing now in America differ only by the strength of the convictions of her people to fight these radicals who would like nothing more than to turn America into a singular vision of their own construction at the exclusion of all who don't conform and obey.

You will never convince me that the Communists, the Socialists, the homosexuals, and the Jews I saw beaten, and ultimately carted off, had anything to do with Liberals. You insult everyone who died and suffered under the apocalypse of the Nazis.
