Greatest threat?

Poll question: Greatest threat?

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

1. What we call "terrorism" in this country (i.e. the fictional entity of "Al Qaeda")

is itself a creation of the fascists.

3. +1

4. This LBN thread got me thinking.

2. Guns up!

5. The greatest threat is always whatever the Republicans...

deny or ignore or makes them very indignant. Fascism, hands down.

6. Fascism is the greatest threat these days. To listen to the Repugs

you would think that they espouse what they accuse the Dems of wanting.

Definition of fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

Now they will say they are opposed to centralized autocratic government---but look at their deeds.
They claim Obama is trying to be a dictator---really?
They are against economic and social regimentation---that depends on how you look at it. Think privatization and corporatism.
And do we have to even discuss suppression of opposition?
