House Resolution 1955 must have been numbered to reflect the rebirth of the House Un-American Activities Committee, that was flailing in its McCarthyite abuse of US citizens that year after McCarthy's vicious anticommunist burlesque a year after Joseph Nye Welch rebuked McCarthy publicly during one of his Congressional show trials.

The revival of these witch hunts is not being headed up by Republicans, but by Democrat Representative Jane Harmon of California's 36th District. So much for the mythical Republican threat. As always, when it goes to shit, Democratic operatives will blame the neo-cons, or whomever, and self-absolve. Those bad, bad authoritarian Republicans!

Let me remind readers that no President in the last seven decades has had a more devastating effect on the African American community -- the greatest captive demographic of this lesser-evil scam -- than Bill Clinton, whose "crime bill" facilitated the incarceration of hundreds of thousands of Black, non-violent offenders who were already facing the perils of ubiquitous prosecutorial misconduct, bigoted judges and juries, and vast sentencing disparities.

1. They better quit attacking Hugo Chavez! He's the most popular man on the planet!

They think he's an easy target! That is a big mistake. Can u say BACKLASH!

For that matter, what are Democrats saying about the government of Venezuela? ... now the most advanced experiment in this hemisphere in popular democracy. Have any of the front-runners for the Oval Office decried the US-supported coup attempt against that democratically elected government? No, Nancy Pelosi called President Chavez "an everyday thug." Her support for that statement? There is none.

4. I Expect That the World In General Will Be Satisfied With NeoCon Blood Alone

Even the Muslims. And as bin Ladin is one of the neocons, he will keep a very low profile, if he isn't already 6 feet under.

But I suspect we as a nation will have to take positive steps to deal with our home-grown fascists, first. As a show of good faith and good citizenship.
