I'm tired of the candidate diaries.
"Waah! That's a hitpiece!"
"Waah! You're a sexist Pig!
"Waah! You're playing the race card!"
"Your Preacher's a bad American!"
"Your Preacher's a Mafia Don!"
If we're going to talk about politics and religion, we might as well speak clearly and with power.
While we're poking each other with sticks and whining about it, the Republicans have been preparing their 2008 Party Platform, and it doesn't look good for America.
Read on...
14 Points of Fascism 2008 Republican Party Platform
- Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism
- Disdain for the importance of human rights
- Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause
- The supremacy of the military/avid militarism
- Rampant sexism
- A controlled mass media
- Obsession with national security
- Religion and ruling elite tied together
- Power of corporations protected
- Power of labor suppressed or eliminated
- Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts
- Obsession with crime and punishment
- Rampant cronyism and corruption
- Fraudulent elections
Those are the widely distrubuted 14 points of Fascism, but it sure does look like the Republican Party Platform, doesn't it?
Hell, that was clearly on display in that first Republican Debate.
They don't even need any explanation. I don't need to write a damn thing to prove my thesis.
They stand, solidly on their own merits: This is the Republican Party Platform. This is the future they promise America.
Every Damn one of them is in place. Every stinkin' one!
And we're crying about pantsuit jokes.
Where is our Martin Luther?
Who is going to going to tattoo these disgusting principles to the Republican Party and destroy them in the general election?
Who is going to take these 14 thesis to the people? 14 are not as hard to carry as 95. 14 are not so hard to nail to the door. 14 can probably be done on TV, they're even soundbytes.
Dammit! It's so damn naked!
It's not even up for debate anymore. It's staring us right in the face, and we're crying about pant suits and calling straight talk about voting demographics racism.
Oh, how I'd love to hear Republicans denying that they're fascists. Wouldn't you?
"I think it's OUTRAGEOUS that they're saying we're fascists."
"Can you seriously say that torture as a national policy is respecting Human Rights?"
"You know, we fought and defeated fascism 50 years ago, and I think it's outrageous that we're being called fascists!"
"Yup, Saddam Hussein was as dangerous as Hitler, and now we've spent more time bogged down in a defeated, then Liberated, now occupied country that has spiraled into civil war than we did in WWII. You guys are disgraceful!"
Those elephants can't be chased out of the room, and would be very hard for them to avoid conjuring up.
Look at them again and tell me that's not the
2008 Republican Party Platform:
- Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism
- Disdain for the importance of human rights
- Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause
- The supremacy of the military/avid militarism
- Rampant sexism
- A controlled mass media
- Obsession with national security
- Religion and ruling elite tied together
- Power of corporations protected
- Power of labor suppressed or eliminated
- Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts
- Obsession with crime and punishment

Spread it around. It'll stick.
