I have been saying this for some time.

Mercifully, I only followed the Wellstone Parteitag by FR thread. I do not think I could watch history repeat itself like this. The author gets a tad dramatic and is unduly pessimistic: Conservatives are not stupid enough to hand over their firearms. But still, the Wellstone Hitlerjugend affair opened up the eyes.

Remember 1984 by George Orwell? Remember the Minute of Hate? That's what that was. All dressed up in a whole arena singing Love Train and wild adulation for the Hillbilly Fuhrer and his consiglieres and capos regimes.

What you saw there was an undercurrent of hate. They couldn't even be decent to Trent Lott, whose record of ineffectuality should have made him a hero to the assembled Party Faithful. They booed him. He had come to pay his respects to a fellow Senator and they booed him.

This is the Party that Clinton built. Once, in the eighties, they were the party of Tip O'Neill, Jim Wright, and ineffectual if corrupt liberalism. Then they made a pact with the Devil, and Bill Clinton won two elections for them. He taught them to lie, he taught them to steal, he taught them to cheat, and he showed them that they could beat the rap.

Dishonesty pays. The Democrats learned well. They tossed aside common decency in favor of the Fuhrerprinzip, and this is what we are faced with.

However, I do not fear them. We have our firearms and do not intend to give them up. Also, they do not own half the population. They do own the allegiance of about a fourth of the population with the other fourth belonging to us. It's that other fifty percent that's up for grabs.

However, there is a tide in human affairs. People like the Clintons and the McAuliffes ALWAYS overreach. They cannot do otherwise. Bush understands this, which is why the populace as a whole admires the man and has chosen to stick with him. He doesn't overreach, and has chosen to deal with Democrats who are willing to deal with him, such as Breaux and Zell Miller.

But do not forget this incident, no matter what the outcome of the election. Fascism is on the march, and we'd best be alert about it.

Be Seeing You,

I fear a Kristallnacht by these people. I fear them using an idea akin to the Lebensraum principle.

Conservativefrei?

I was extremely pleased that Jesse Ventura came out and spoke his mind. He acknowledged Trent Lott's mistreatment. He talked of his wife's tears. He spoke for regular, decent people who know that there is such a thing as decency.

I feel sorry for the Wellstone boys. Whatever their political persuasion, they will come to realize that they besmirched their father's reputation as a decent man. To use the violent death of a man and his family to revel like pigs in self-gratification and self-promotion, to sell grief like a commodity--the Democratic party is Bill Clinton--a totally self-absorbed entity that is truly grotesque to behold.

Too bad that decent Democrats like Lieberman or Breaux have not come out to denounce this travesty. They remind me of the Saudis--making their own deals with the Devil in the hopes that the alligator will eat them last.

Chris, I have heard audio clips of this little horror until I'm sick of hearing them... and they have the "Look & Smell" of the clintons- and perhaps Hollyweird- all over them.

I'm reminded of a bad re-write of Evita! with, perhaps, an element of Nuremberg tossed in to add a little flavor.

I completely agree with your idea that Fascism is on the march again...
...and Americans with a lick of sense should be very afraid- we beat this nasty weed into the ground with WWII; we don't need to see it blossom again in America-
