"When fascism comes to America, it will carry the flag and the cross" - Sinclair Lewis

NO SHIT SHERLOCK

Fascism is the submergence of individual conscience into absolute obedience to the political government.  It declares the Nation is the holy instrument of Divine Providence, and therefore, to oppose the political authority is to blaspheme Almighty God.  As the Wehrmacht was told as it swore personal loyalty to Hitler in 1934:

                    Adolf Hitler is the State; and the State is God.  Heil Hitler!

That's fascism.  When fascism comes anywhere it's gonna have a flag and a religious icon. 

I'm sick and tired of reading this quote like it was soooo profound.  "Hey, man, did you know those veterans' day parades were the first step towards FASCISM?"   

When communism comes to America, it will have rallies and wear blue jeans.
When Cirque de Soleil comes to America it will have acrobats.
When Batman comes to America he will have a mask and too many gadgets.

Stop it! Stop saying it! It's not even worth ranting at in actual words!  RAWR!!! RAh! RRR!!!
