I remember a huge battle by the Right against one particular female justice on the California state supreme court. The complaint was that she was "soft on crime"...back then these three words could make or break a politician...like "soft on communism" could earlier and "soft on terror" would today.

They finally managed to defeat her at the polls...her record on crime was as good as anyone elses but it turned out the real issue was she was pro-EPA and against unrestricted logging and other restraints on business. The money-people know they can't get their way through honesty...they know they run on a platform which says, "Let me pollute your rivers so I can get rich"...so they talk about "soft on crime", of Jesus and family values and other things to get us looking the other way...and when they get into office, of the coat tails of Jesus, they go to work on what they really took office to do....get more power into the hands of fewer people....they, like so many have done, use democracy and the ballot to essentially destroy democracy.

It seems 9/11 did the same thing...the Patriot Act was every Fascists Christmas wish list...they'd tried to get parts of it passed before but were never able to...after 9/11 WE were ready for it, we were ready to destroy our own liberties, such is the power of Fascism. And we're ready to do it some more.

It's funny...more people die in a year from car accidents than die from terrorists...yet we have no fear of driving or our cars...we are far more likely to step out of our front doors and into a car accident than we are a terrorists plot....but we go right on driving, and taking our families on long drives...we don't cower behind the door and refuse to get near a car...but we're ready to dismantle our house because we fear terrorists....which is THEIR victory, not ours.
