They Are The Fear They Want Us To Feel

Plenty of space in this for discussion.

Teabaggers may say that fascism and socialism and communism are the same thing, but they are not; and tyranny is not only possible without them, it is indeed very possible to wrap it up in a flag and a cross. “The object of torture is torture” very aptly describes President Bush’s cavalier admission to ordering the waterboarding of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Not only was no intelligence gleaned from this act, but the torture was never really about producing intelligence. Rather, it was Orwell’s “boot on a human face” justified by confrontation with Eurasia Eastasia communism socialism China al-Qaeda Saddam Hussein Islam.

Some mighty smart writing here, and from a liberal behind the Confederate Curtain, no less.
