Tornado Alley (PROG)

habu -- "People need to stand up . . . to keep the freedoms that that flag represents."

Precisely. Damn straight. Well said. Hence my sig below.

Beyond that, however . . .

As for your (highly) partisan (and patronizing) preachings this evening -- just which world do you live in again!? We're the ones who have gone to 'the fringe'!? And this even as you, as repubs often (if not typically) do these days, display the very attributes and attitudes you are in the process of projecting onto us (or me)!? Wow, cool . . .

The rest of your commentary this evening contains flat misstatements of reality and emphases of irrelevancies, an amazing ability to read the minds of those (evidently very simple-minded) (. . .) ones who might disagree with you or feel some need or other to speak out in protest, and more than one colossal non sequitur/use of utter illogic.

The reality, the truth, is that of all the nations and forces on this earth, only we have the power and ability to strip away/allow to be taken away our freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution, and that in particular right now (indeed, in particular for some years now) we are (and have been) headed in just that direction.

And how is this happening? Just as Sinclair Lewis, the better part of a century ago, said it would:

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."
