It can happen here

Doug Thompson at Capitol Hill Blue:

I fear, sadly, the United States of America moves closer and closer each day to a dictatorship, ruled by a megalomaniacal despot determined to destroy the Constitution, our basic freedoms and the checks and balances that have kept our government under control for more than two centuries.

he first rule in establishing a dictatorship is "control the flow of information." George W. Bush is close to doing that with the most secretive administration in American history. Now he and his right-wing co-conspirators have unleashed an all-out assault on freedom of the press - the last step on taking control of information and the media.

We must all do everything we can to take back our country from those who would destroy it for personal gain.
