With all due respect, the article is twaddle, and long winded twaddle at that. It's a rehash of the same kind of thing the left said about the right and if you re-word it to read liberals instead of fascists, and change the freedom bit to values, you will have a standing rant of Limbaugh. And I don't respect a cut and paste job of that length when the originating person should express it first in his or her own words and perhaps come to the same conclusion and save us a spot of bother.
