The New Enemy?....Fascists?
In a clear act of desperation, President Bush, Republicans, and Conservatives have found a new Boogy man. Fascists. Hmmm...not communist, not liberals...but fascists. Apparently they feel that by using this term they can once again scare Americans in to voting for their party and their agenda. Wow. Big surprize there. Now America is in a stuggle against radical "Islamic Fascists." Consider the following article from the Associated press:
WASHINGTON (Aug. 30) - President Bush in recent days has recast the global war on terror into a "war against Islamic fascism." Fascism, in fact, seems to be the new buzz word for Republicans in an election season dominated by an unpopular war in Iraq. Bush used the term earlier this month in talking about the arrest of suspected terrorists in Britain, and spoke of "Islamic fascists" in a later speech in Green Bay, Wis. Spokesman Tony Snow has used variations on the phrase at White House press briefings. Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., in a tough re-election fight, drew parallels on Monday between World War II and the current war against "Islamic fascism," saying they both require fighting a common foe in multiple countries. It's a phrase Santorum has been using for months. And Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Tuesday took it a step further in a speech to an American Legion convention in Salt Lake City, accusing critics of the administration's Iraq and anti-terrorism policies of trying to appease "a new type of fascism."
Boy these guys never give up. Hey Democrats...we need to address this concern of fascism head on:
1) Point out that this administration continues to support Kuwait and Saudi Arabian...both controlled by dictators who continue to violate basic human rights of their own people, including conducting public beheadings and execution of woman who are charged with adultery.
2) Point out that under the Bush administration we have continued to strip away basic civil rights in the name of national security including allowing un-warrented wire tappings, detaining individuals without charging them with crimes, ect..
Dont let these clowns get away with this again. The enemy are not fascists. They are religious zealots. And we have our own problem with religious zealots in this country.
Anyway...thats my take. Hope you all have a nice day.

I couldn't agree more! The administration spends almost 100% of their time trying to distract the American public from all the damage that is being done across the board. In an interview that took place in New Orleans the president actually said that "he didn't want to insult anyone, but..." he really doesn't listen to the american public nor cares what we think. Unbelievable! As a member of the military your words are very important for people to hear. Thanks for everything friend.

"And Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Tuesday took it a step further in a speech to an American Legion convention in Salt Lake City, accusing critics of the administration's Iraq and anti-terrorism policies of trying to appease 'a new type of fascism'"
