28. "unitary executive" is a fascist fantasy -- we need to call it what it is!
Edited on Wed Jan-25-06 02:52 PM by pat_k
You are absolutely right on Roe being the least of our worries!! (excerpt beloe)

But a Filibuster WILL make an enormous difference. It is the difference between our "leaders" being complicit with the fascist or not. Standing up and fighting the good fights attracts support and breeds hope in the citizenry. Hope breed action. A virtuous cycle that will ultimately defeat them.

From http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=2388509&mesg_id=2389007

. . . far more is at stake than Roe.

Alito's answer to Biden is incredible.

Every time we (or members of the Senate) fail to utterly and completely reject the irrational notion of a Stalinist "unitary executive" in the United States of America, we legitimize yet another of their fascist fantasies.

I have been a broken record on this in other posts, but as Howard Dean points out, even basic truths require repetition if they are to be internalized by the public.

We do not argue "intelligent design" -- we reject it as Science.

Just as "intelligent design" has no NO PLACE in our Science Classes; their fascist fantasies (like a Stalinist "unitary executive" in our constitutional democracy) have NO PLACE in rational discourse.

We must expose their lunacy by honestly describing what they are talking about (i.e., Ever-Expanding, Un-American, Un-Constitutional, Dictatorial Powers the Bush Syndicate claims allows them to commit any crime with impunity -- torturing, spying, and terrorizing the American people with the most colossal bomb threat in history: Mushroom Clouds over our cities in 45 minutes – just to name a few.)
