Does anyone remember the secular humanist Lawrence Britt?? He closely studied the fascist regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Suharto, Franco and Pinochet and during the Bush administration he created a list he called the 14 Signs of Fascism highlighting similar, troubling elements found in current era politics . In light of what the republican legislators did in Wisconsin yesterday by shattering and pissing on union rights, it's especially dead-on.

Where THE HELL do we go from here?? Idaho? New Jersey? Michigan? Ohio? Indiana? Pick a state...any state. What's next on the menu for these power-crazed, corporate-loving bunch of plutocrats?? I mean, oligarchs....er, I mean kleptocrats...no, I mean theocrats....Aw, fuck it -- you know what I'm trying to say. And you know what I've been wishing, over all of these long days and nights that people have been raising their voices and demonstrating for their rights?? Wouldn't it have been so effin' awesome if president Obama snuck in a visit to Madison to the activists in the capitol building -- like all the times he and other presidents have suddenly appeared in "surprise" visits to Iraq and Afghanistan festooned with giant plastic turkeys and american flags waving from every possible orifice?? Didn't have to bring in coffee and donuts....or even movies to project against a large sheet on the wall (that would've been super rad though, huh?). Just showing up and being there with the people he promised to represent and fight for would have been priceless. Please, Mr. President. We need you. Do something. SAY something. Please keep your promises.
