Civilian Civilities

Generals don't fade away -- they retire. Our left's dirty tongues. Tax accommodated. Plus much more.

Certainly do not disagree with the essence of Mr. Hillyer's piece but I do feel that, as an editor, he could have found the way to boil it all down to, say, three or four paragraphs.

What Quin Hillyer illustrates in his article "A Matter of Course" is the potential birth of 21st century American fascism. The paranoia that is the foundation of today's Democrat/liberal/Copperhead movement is symptomatic of the beginnings of fascism in post-World War I Europe. From history and observing Muslim extremism we find a key ingredient fanatics use to promote their ideology is to demonize those who are different or oppose their agendas. This rabid denunciation of "enemies" justifies whatever "the enlightened" or "chosen" do in the name of their "god" or "philosophy."
