I'm even confused by my original posth ere. Sorry for being carried away with and mesmerized by the sounds of my own verbosity.
I guess I'm still upset with the way Bill Clinton was treated during his 8 years. Since Republicans took/won the election, are their doings "politically correct" and open to derision according to the definitions of that phrase they came up with themselves to play down Democratic leanings and programs?

My feelings about the GOP being something akin to the new fascists are fueled by what they are tearing down here---and by looking to history. Leftists were pretty smashed and neutralized in the USA. The sad list of descriptive terms I used (goons, robber barons, gun thugs etc.) were historical terms used in popular speech as well as the literature and media of those times. 'Twas an effort to enlighten------also to point out people using ham-fisted tactics and worse to get their way. What were the robber barons of old---as well as the leaders of Arthur Andersen, Enron and Worldcom----if not "plain old suit-and-tie thieves?"

It does seem that if history repeats like folks say it does, it always costs twice as much each time around!!
