Between Iraq and a hard place

I've blogged before about the fascist administration. But I wanted a way to change the nation's discourse (a girl's gotta dream, don't she?). So, I thought, and I thought and I thought some more. And this is what I came up with. Why do we refer to the robbers and the cheats in the White House and elsewhere as NeoCons or neoconservatives? Those names only rankle the blogoverse. On the other hand, they're badges of courage for the Repugnicans. We do them a service by calling them NeoCons. So, why don't we just call them fascists. Not NeoFascists. Not Hitlerian or Mussoliniesque fascists. Just plain, garden variety fascists, who pump up nationalism with graven images, who have no time for human rights, who demonize liberals and critics alike, who throw obscene amounts of money at the military and use it whenver they get the chance, the sexists, the homophobes, the partners of media, the fearmongers, the insincere (and ungodly) Christians who love power and want all their friends to have money and power galore, with no tolerance of workers, or intellectuals, or the arts, who'd rather see half the country in jail than smoking pot or criticizing them, where croneyism and nepotism flower, and elections are there for the taking. If you don't believe me go read the constantly updated (and by now mountainous) evidence on Oldamericancentury.org.
