"This is the path that America is on with Palin and McCain. The election of 2008 is a choice between the United States Constitution and Lipstick Fascism."

Elect, Helped Found The Religious Right, And Lived To Take All (Or Almost All) Of It Back.
We have seen the next Mussolini and she's wearing a skirt. Sarah Palin is the face of a post-democracy America, post-constitutional and post-freedom America. She is the home town "little Austrian" vice presidential candidate to a cancer-riddled old man who, chances are high, won't see the end of his first term in office if he becomes president due to illness and old age. The woman who said that we don't need to read people their rights may well be the next president. mock and belittle your opponents, nibble at the edges of the rule of law, promote violence, grasp at a weird religion of "destiny" (their version of American exceptionalism) with an "us" against "them" mentality, blame others, intellectual classes and the media, pit the working people against the perceived elite (Jews in Europe and today's university-educated Democratic Party leaders in America), take power based on grievance and fear and then set aside the constitution altogether based on claimed threats by outsiders. |
