The Republicans show a frightening facility for the techniques of totalitarianism
Edited on Thu Mar-03-11 04:41 PM by JohnWxy
"These conservative mouths tell those who are frustrated and disappointed with their lives that the source of all their woes is Big Government. Conservatives like to preach about he evils of Big Government, but they are very comfortable using government power to go after their political enemies ( Tom Delay used Dept of Homeland Security to hunt down Texas Democrats). Republicans show a frightening facility for the techniques of totalitarianism."

predictably, when they are wrong they are happy to abuse their powers to force the 'miscreants' (heretics) to fall into line. The Corporate Lobbyists make a show of believing in democracy until they obtain power. Then they show their true colors. The Red State Brigade throws off the facade and shows the ease with which they employ the techniques common to all anti-democratic totalitarian regimes - the use of government power to enforce their suzerainty.

those interested in preserving/fighting for democracy in America need to learn to 'fight like an Egyptian'.
