Disturbing Reads on American Political Trends

I ran into this article on fascism while zooming through zompist.com, which is normally a site that I visit when I want comedy. It deals with the definition of fascism, and the growing perception that there would appear to at least be a growing fascist minority in the political Right in the USA. Some disturbing things in the article, and a few things that at least put some of my fears on a lower priority level, if not completely to rest.

Once you’re done with the first article, click the link to David Neiwert’s article on proto-fascism in America. Now this is the article that gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies when I look at the current extremist political right and what they stand for. Understand that while my political standpoint is pretty far to the left, I’m not an extremist in the least and don’t believe in outlawing conservative viewpoints–I just have a healthy amount of concern for some of the viewpoints I’m seeing coming from a lot of the neo-conservative policy wonks these days.

Next week, Mindful Rage is sent to the Wolfowitz Memorial Re-Education Camp. Guest stars Merilu Henner and Alf.
