This video is for all those who imagine that there is some sort of magic that renders the United States immune to the tyranny that has plagued every other major empire in history.

Great post, and Yes, it's happening here as all of us know. Thanks!

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken

The irony is that the phrase "it can't happen here" (often used with much sarcasm) is a leftist phrase meant to remind Americans that fascism could happen here, and that populists like Huey Long and Father Coughlin were fine examples. Henry Ford was included. So was Joe McCarthy, although his identification of communist sympathizers was usually dead on. He was associated with fascism because he was so doggone anti-communist, and because he had few scruples in fighting it. Considering communism as a positive ideology in its pure, Engles-Marxist-Hegelian sense became a victimless "thought crime" to the left. So in the 1950s, it was happening here especially since so many identified as communist sympathizers were Jewish. The left still maintains that the Rosenbergs were unjustly accused and were persecuted for being Jewish.

To get an idea who or what might be gripping one's country, just look for what is forbidden to criticize.

A further irony is that the intelligence state built up to combat communist infiltration is now used to protect the power of a federal government gone well beyond its constitutional limits.

The pro-liberty camp should be very careful how it throws these terms around lest they find themselves painted into a corner. The sarcastic notion of "it can't happen here" could be applied to anti-Zionists as well as anti-communists. The other problem with using these hot propagandist terms is that they can help perpetuate the very conditions the liberty movement should be resisting.

A controlled opposition might prefer to use double-edged propaganda terms for this very reason.

The constitution doesn't matter one jot if white folk have forgotten who they are.

"From the corruption of women comes confusion of race;
from confusion of race comes loss of memory;
from the loss of memory comes all evil." -- Bhagavad Gita

First they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Blacks, and I did not speak out because I was not a Black. Then they came for the Latinos, and I did not speak out because I was not a Latino. Then they came to my door and told me taxes were down, the streets were secure and ninety percent of conflict in society was over.
