Fascism, anyone?

[Bluehammer]

There was recently an edition on National Public Radio (http://www.npr.org/templates/s tory/story.php?storyId=4519090) concerning the use of electronic bracelets used in the monitoring of "illegal immigrants", although many of these monitors are being used on people with no criminal records whatsoever. Wearers of these "anklets" are not permitted to leave their domains after 6PM, and can only do so after 6AM. The Department of Homeland Security states that if the anklets are successful, there is a possibility that they will extend use of these devices to all non-citizens.

The government has now taken to providing free funding to the media, issuing highly pro-government images, such as cheering Iraqis waving American flags, immigrants being treated in humane manners, and other assorted BS.
If anyone has read this article in The Boston Globe, I believe, it is explained more thoroughly there.

Wall Street Journalist Paul Craig Roberts writes:
"In the ranks of the new conservatives, however, I see and experience much hate. It comes to me in violently worded, ignorant and irrational emails from self-professed conservatives who literally worship George Bush," he wrote. "Even Christians have fallen into idolatry. There appears to be a large number of Americans who are prepared to kill anyone for George Bush … Like Brownshirts, the new conservatives take personally any criticism of their leader and his policies. To be a critic is to be an enemy."

To keep in mind:

fas·cism or Fas·cism: any movement, tendency, or ideology that favors dictatorial government, centralized control of private enterprise (i.e. the media), repression of all opposition, and extreme nationalism (Patriot Act).

1. Seen this

It'll be used for non-citizens and then citizens once it works fine. Except party members of course.

I don't why but this entire political climate feels familiar on a personal level....
