May my opinions gather wind under their wings and fly, perchance to soar. |
Back from the abyss 20.januar.2016 All news is global; all news is local; my news is immaterial. So are my opinions. But... I'm going to try to revive this old blog. I've occasionally been sharing my thoughts on facebook and that's tricky at best. People take comments out of context and a real dialog seems elusive. Plus, the political situation is nasty and dangerous. So I'll try to be more blunt here and less blunt there. Fascism scares me. The idea that a society needs to be totally controlled in a hierarchy of rules that bind religion, military and wealth is frightening. My "F" meter goes off at the mention of Cruz and Rubio and Carson fare little better. While some of the Leftists bitch about Hillary or go gaga over Bernie and ignore O'Malley, discount Bush-Christie-Kasich, the real threat is the CRA = Christian Republic of America where minorities are either shamed, blamed or hunted. Trump is his own issue. A Populist supported by Fascists would be its own nightmare. But its Cruz and his ilk I fear most. The rise of the angry neo-fascist is evident in Europe; it's alive and thriving in America as well. 478 |
