what's scary

is that extremists on both sides sound just as scary.

I happen to believe in a fascist threat to our country and, with all politically tinged essays, there's always some truth in the words no matter what the eventual conclusion if the writer wants to be at all effective.

I also believe there's a communist threat to our country, a racist threat, a NASCAR threat, and above all of them a reality show threat.

The trick is to acknowledge the possibility of swings to either end of the political spectrum while ensuring you don't become a threat yourself by overreacting to it.

You've shown yourself to be just that by denouncing one of the most caring and intelligent people on our board because she made "the mistake" of rating what you had to say and your method of presenting it objectively. By lashing out as you do, you are actually removing credibility from whatever truth it is you are exposing.

If our country eventually moves to become a fascist state, it'll be bozos like you that the authoritarians use as evidence that we must be controlled and herded up. Sheesh, I'd rather have a beer with Techie than you.
