THE LEFT GOES OFF ITS MEDS

Fascism Anyone?: Fascism’s principles are wafting in the air today, surreptitiously masquerading as something else, challenging everything we stand for. (Laurence W. Britt, Free Inquiry)

Does any of this ring alarm bells? Of course not. After all, this is America, officially a democracy with the rule of law, a constitution, a free press, honest elections, and a well-informed public constantly being put on guard against evils. Historical comparisons like these are just exercises in verbal gymnastics. Maybe, maybe not.

Is anyone counting the number of times they refer to America as trending fascist? Posted by Orrin Judd at July 15, 2003 6:34 PM
