Who Are the American Fascists?

Chris Hedges, reporter, 2002 Pulitzer Prize

Pulitzer
Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges explores the rise of the
Christian right in America, drawing parallels with the rise of fascism
in Europe prior to the Second World War. How does the vision of the
United States as a Christian nation relate to our Bill of Rights? Why
does Hedges identify the increasing political power of Christian
fundamentalism as a war against America?

In the Interest of Full Disclosure

Following the oligarchic doctrine of "full disclosure", the following is the editorial decision on necessary disclosure concerning the authors/editors of this blog:

IT'S NONE OF YOUR F-ING BUSINESS!

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. "
[Extracted from The Constitution of the United States of America (May 2006), The Constitution of the United States of America.]

My advance appologies

If any of the information, such as names and dates regarding my own testimonials, are incorrect I apologize in advance and would be happy to make the corrective edits at your emailed request. Unless you tell me, I'll never know. I tell it as I remember it.

I also post articles of interest with or without my own commentary. Frankly, some of the stories just leave me speechless. They usually reinforce the theme of what I am trying to relay, however. I try my best to give credit to the original authors. If I have posted your work here and you object to my sharing it, simply notify me by email and I will accommodate you by removing your work or any reasonable concession that you may require.

And furthermore, about my general tenor, don't worry. One day, you will be just as screwed over and just as angry as I am. I suppose it will take that to wake the automatons up from their indoctrinated sleep.
