I don't buy it. I'm not saying that there are not elements in this
administration that are at least bordering on fascism, and a percentage of
the population that would prefer a tyrant, but this country is remarkably
resilient. I remember the 60/70s, race riots, mass demonstrations,
citizens murdered. We survived that period of time, we will also survive
this period of time.

I'm with that. :-)

May the Bush administration be viewed by history as the period of time when
America tried, and then rejeceted, the arch-conservative philosophy.
