Would that the masses identifying with one side or the other of these lathering polemics could stop and notice that NEITHER side is interested in America... in the America set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This might as well be frank fascism. It seems that that's really what people prefer, that we're really just fighting over whether our fascism will kick poor and different people to death openly or just diplomatically allow them to die off in the great blind spot of no media coverage. Should this empire use might-makes-right to wipe out the excess baggage? Or should it just sort of let that baggage get lost?

Should we just shoot obviously unarmed and obviously not threatening people from our helicopter gun ships? Or let them carry on struggling out of sight? Should we just kill the women who will have to go back to wearing burqas? Or is it enough to kill their husbands now and let them die optionless beggars behind our backs? Do we want slaves to have the option of abortion? Or is it murder to deprive the state of its cannon fodder? Will homosexual activities stop being so exciting if we let them be okay? Or is it better to make sure the poor can vote for their preferred mode of abjection to plutocrats? Which kind of Constitutional terrorism should be squished by the iron fist of the State first? Code Pink or Tea Partiers?

I am seriously bummed Maddow has done this... but... maybe it will teach us what we need to learn.

Incidentally, it's now apparent to me that the door open to moving the tea parties in the right direction has closed, and we have the brilliant work of Democratic-Fascist Party shills to thank for this. Nice work, Groupthink.

Now you can concentrate on cheering Rachel to new heights—or depths—strengthening the gleaming PATRIOT Act.
