Reply #63: When have I (me,myself) said, "expect a fascist take-over" or "don't worry, be happy"? [View All]

Not here. Not on this thread.

I've long pointed to the historical fact that Dubya comes from a long-line of near-fascists and real Fifth Columnists and sympathizers for Fascism. But, Dubya and Dick are hardly in a position to impose any agenda on America anymore. Politically, they're the deadest of dead ducks, and the Joint Chiefs and intelligence community heads cleaned house of most of the neocon appointees three or four years ago.

However, I am not saying that we all should stop paying attention and go shopping. Quite the opposite. The Pentagon has a very real psychological warfare program in place designed to pressure Iran and make it believe that the US might attack unless they cave to our pressure. There's also good reason to conclude that we're trying to provoke the Revolutionary Guard into doing something rash. BUT, that's a far different thing from Bush waking up tonight after talking to Jeezbus, grabbing the red phone on the night table, and the bombers then striking Tehran at dawn. That's not going to happen, because the military wouldn't follow such an insane and illegal order. Not again, anyway.

I think you have me mixed up with several separate lines of thinkng by others on this thread.
