When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.

Sinclair Lewis said, “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.”

When I look at what is happening to people who exercise their constitutional rights at the party conventions, frankly it scares me.  Free Speech zones?  I thought AMERICA is a Free Speech zone.  What has happened to us?  We have been led by our government to believe that it grants us these rights and can therefor revoke them?  The Consitution expressly forbids the government from doing exactly that, why aren’t we standing up to these people?  By George Bush’s and this governments standards every one of our founding fathers would be a “terrorist” today and as such they would be jailed, with none of the rights gauranteed them by the very Constitution they framed.

How have we let this happen?

” Naturally the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are  being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
~ Hermann Goering

If that doesn’t send a chill up your spine….oh wait…This is America we haven’t got a spine anymore.
