It was not time yet.
No food could be found
For this little girl,
One among many
Little boys and girls
With nothing between

Except the hunger
And bombs all around.

How it is pronounced,
Yet none are to blame
For this stiffened child
Who dreamt of heroes

Being American
Today we seldom hear the expression, "He's 100-percent American," or, "She's a red-blooded American." As victors and vanquished consort and foes become friends, and as our nation of immigrants grows in numbers and complexity, being American, being a citizen, being a patriot, has come to mean less and less, for being American depends for its definition on David Arthur Waltershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05704967788002487089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817570.post-1065032389894023942003-10-01T11:19:00.000-07:002003-10-27T08:00:34.580-08:00
Contemporary Fascism
"Facism, which did not fear to call itself reactionary when many liberals of today were prone before the triumphant beast (Democracy), has not today any impediment against declaring itself illiberal and anti-liberal...

Familiar Fascism
Members of the so-called "superior northern European culture that makes America great" are on familiar ground when reconsidering the roots of fascism.

What's Wrong With Democracy?
Perhaps the following section of the suppressed Army Orientation Fact Sheet #64 offended certain congressmen the most because its description of fascist traits reminded them of themselves:

The New Religion
"Christianity was now obviously dead.... A 'new faith' had been fought for and won, that lacked any continuity with Judiac-Oriental Christianity. It was the 'simple and plain' faith in Germany....

The practice of openly calling political and economic corporate leaders fascists has waned since the organized terrorist attack on the prime symbols of the Western military-industrial complex.

Peter Drucker's discussion of the collapse of democracy and the rise of fascism in Italy and Germany antecendent to the outbreak of the Second World War is illuminating.

Fascists In Our Midst
Fascism is hard to define. to make matters worse, fascists have gone underground: they deny that they are fascists. But of one thing we can be certain: despite their public praise of 'liberty' and 'democracy' and their identification with the economic interests of the masses, fascists are profoundly anti-democratic: they prefer that power be held in a few qualified handsDavid Arthur Waltershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05704967788002487089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817570.post-1064019406456059762003-09-19T17:56:00.000-07:002003-10-05T10:39:41.160-07:00
