Fascism

Well…..I saw my very first election sign today. In Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho. It said Bush/Cheney 04. It was in front of some kind of medical company. It is not hard to understand why a medical company would promote Bush/Cheney. Indeed, it is not hard to understand why any large corporation would support Bush/Cheney. What is hard to understand is why anyone else would support them. And who does? The absolutely whacko religious right. There is no doubt that the corporations will provide the Bush campaign with as much money as they want. After all, they are profiting by the billions of dollars. The question is, will the religious right provide them enough votes? Certainly Bush is trying by asking directly for their help, providing them with money, and deliberately violating the constitutional guarantee of not mixing religion with politics. But since when has the Bush/Cheney hollow head gang of thieves paid any attention to the Constitution of the United States?

Fascism, as Mussolini made clear, consists of a marriage between corporations and government. Is that not exactly what we have going on in the United States today? Is it not the case that the Republicans demand absolute obedience to their program if you want to even attend their events? Is it not the case that to even ask a question of Bush you must previously have promised your support? Is it not the case that people have had their tickets torn up if they had the audacity to wear a support Kerry pin? Is it not the case that Bush only answers questions offered by previously screened individuals? Is it not absolutely pathetic to hear a Bush supporter say, “This is the first time I ever felt God was in the White House?” What kind of absolute nonsense is going on? Whatever is going on it is not America as I know it. Absolutely not. It is an transparently naked attempt to convert our marvelous country into a fascist state. A state ruled by gigantic corporations that control the government and reduce its citizens into what is not much better than a condition of slavery.

Unfortunately it is true, this is the single most important election that will occur in your lifetime. You must have to decide, right now, if you want to live in a democracy or a fascist state controlled by Bush/Cheney and the huge international corporations. John Kerry is not a perfect candidate. But he is our only hope for the moment. There is no way the country can survive four more year of Bush, unless you want to give away your birthright, abandon the constitution, and give up your civil rights, to say nothing of your previous middle class comfort. Bush/Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Ashcroft, Rice, Perle, and the rest of the neocons are evil people, people who want to control the world, imperialists, warmongers, murderers, torturers, who will stop at nothing to have their way. They must be stopped NOW!
