That *is* kind of scary. It should serve as an indication of
how fundamental the crisis of such thinking is, that groups
from the far-right *and* the far-left are willing to work
together with a broad spectrum of groups in between to oppose
this sort of Fascistic thing.
Consider the US Islamic population as our mineshaft canary.
If our government begins to whittle away their civil rights,
we're on the precipice of doom. I'm also concerned that people
think this is a *real* war--11 September's attacks were criminal,
they were murderous and evil, but calling them "war" is a
measure designed to justify an exaggerated military response
both internally and externally.
