Subject: RE: BS: blood & soil Nazification of America
Whst would make me laugh, if it wasn't so bloody unfunny, is the idea that these fascist thugs should be protected by some ancient, wooden constitution (put together by racist pro-slave guys, lest we forget) that gives them "the inalienable right to free speech." Joe sez that we on this side of the ocean don't get it. Oh yes we do, only too well. Let me tell you summat, Joe. If any of these thugs, heaven forfend, were to gain power, the very first thing they would do is to ban free speech. General Pinochet didn't allow free speech. General Franco didn't allow free speech. General Batista didn't allow free speech. Fascists' worst enemy is free speech. People who demur in fascist regimes in order to exercise their free speech "disappear" or end up in mass graves or at the bottom of the sea. You are shrugging your shoulders saying that nowt can be done because these people, who would prevent your free speech in a heartbeat, must have their freedom of speech protected. You really couldn't make this up, could you?
