British fascism, Italian democracy

How times change, 70 years ago most people would have associated suppression of speech with totalitarian states like Italy, Germany and the Soviet Union.

However, Italy showed how far it's come in defending democracy this week when it allowed entry to controversial Dutch MP Geert Wilders.

Earlier Mr Wilders was barred from entering the UK by Home Secretary, and leading liberal fascist, Jacqui Smith.

And that is exactly what it is, Fascism. Britian is lost - and we in the U.S. Have just entered the the calm before the storm. Quietly people are preparing - Barry's rule may resemble Lincoln's more than he thinks.
