David Niewert is a blogger with mainstream media credentials, who has written two books on violent right-wing political movements. His blog, “Orcinus“, has a brilliant multi-part essay on “The Rise of Pseudo-Fascism” – the continuing slide of American conservatism toward fascism. It’s required reading – even after a Kerry victory. Certainly, one only needs review [...]

And before anyone brings it up, yes, there is a world of difference between 1)Pointing out the steps the Pentagon has taken to revive the draft board system and pointing out that the stop-loss orders and independent analysis point towards a severe manpower shortage in the Armed [...]
