Fascism in 10 easy steps. Just not in America.

From our friends at bluecrabboulevard comes this entry:

"Fascist America in 10 easy steps . That is the title of a breathless story (or fairy tale) in the Guardian written by Naomi Wolf. Oh, do take the time to read it, what follows will make much more sense if you wade about in the fever swamp for a moment. But Naomi did present a little blueprint that fits something else that is going on in the world. Therefore, we here in the Crabitat have decided to reinterpret the list Ms. Wolf so graciously projected: "
They use her list to show the "enviromentalist agenda" brilliantly. Go see it.

Here's mine. Does this enemy sound familiar? I wonder why so few others see it.

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
Any "dissident" coreligionist, or "non-believer"
Isreal, America, Western Civilization
2. Create a gulag
Persecution of any different religion
3. Develop a thug caste
The religious police
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
Adherance to a philosophy that dictates that OTHERS must follow MY belief.
5. Harass citizens' groups
See #3.
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
Any of their law enforcement. Imprisonment of any "dissident"
7. Target key individuals
Any moderate or writer/blogger/academic......
8. Control the press
Our press willing goes along with their faux news and photos
9. Dissent equals treason
See 4.
10. Suspend the rule of law
Rule by fatwa/imam

Simple. I'm(update- no longer) planning a longer entry later that fisks her entire arguement. It would just take way to much space.
