[Peace-discuss] fascism -- palingenesis

[Jenifer Cartwright]

So noted, Bill, clever! So Palin waits for the draft that may never come... And meanwhile, have all y'all noticed that "liberty" (meaning libertarian-ism, of course), has all but replaced "freedom" and "democracy" in all those right-wing speeches?? Be afraid, be very afraid...

Some definitions of fascism include "palingenesis."
Check Wikipedia for more about palingenesis; but I think that a lot of right-wing drivel qualifies, when they say things like,"restore our democracy to what the Founders intended" and when they express a desire to repeal some Amendments to the Constitution.

Plus I think the word itself (palin-genesis) is droll.
