In Florida, we are seeing the fringe elements of the Right coagulate into one Fascist clot. GOP head Jim Greer does not want Florida children "to listen to Obama's socialist ideaologies" and of course, students of history will recall the same type argument being made by Benito Mussolini in Italy in the 30s. http://cbs4.com/local/florida.gop.indoctrinate.2.1165839.html
The Conservatives have disrupted Town hall meetings on healthcare reform, the fear of socialism being their motivation, as though having a public healthcare option that would help those who cannot get coverage from private insurers would lead us to communes and gulags. I cannot coverage from Aetna or Blue Cross to get follow up treatment for the melanoma I had removed two years ago. It's a pre-existing condition, one that Aetna insurance covered during the diagnosis and treatment. Now that I no longer have that job and could not afford Cobra coverage, the Conservatives have a health alternative for me: to die, from a treatable condition, because that way our American way of life will be preserved.
Give me a break, people.
The fearmongers and brown shirts need to understand, this is a matter of life and death for many Americans. And we're not going down without a fight. The Revolution talk of the 60s makes more sense now than before, except we're in power. Watch out for assassins and other patriots, looking to be on talk radio for five minutes. Beware of people who don't want their children to hear what the President of the United States has to say.
