Fascism the American Way

By Jason Miller -- World News Trust

Relentless indoctrination by a vast corporate media complex has convinced many that the United States of America is an exceptional nation. Charged with the sacred duty of preserving Pax Americana, the United States is purported to be the embodiment of the ideals of truth, justice and liberty for all.

Before making firm intellectual commitment to such pleasant fictions, consider these questions:

Why is it that virtually every liberal or progressive proposal for socioeconomic or political change in the United States is still-born, or on the rare occasions it survives the birthing process, it is beaten into submission by a domineering patriarch?

And why have virtually all crusaders for progressive causes in the “land of the free” wound up imprisoned (i.e. Eugene Debs), deported (Emma Goldman), or assassinated (MLK)?

For a nation that Thomas Paine, the intellectual catalyst of the American Revolution, envisioned as “an asylum for mankind,” the United States has not been very hospitable to dissent or dissidents. How can this be?
