Neo-fascism is on the rise in the US and in countries closely associated by other (governmental and corporate, maybe even religios) ties, and autistics are one of its targets. Thank you for opening my eyes to how real this has become.

Hey, just popping by to see if you were OK, as you haven’t posted anything in a couple of weeks…

Hope you haven’t stopped blogging (although i see you have posted comments on a couple of other blogs i read) – unless you have decided November is National Not Blog Posting Month for you ;)

Anyway, hope you’re OK however long you’ve taken a break for…

Big White Hat?

meaning what? insane? if so, there are many more much worse, in all the wrong places, if you know what I mean……….or did you just type that for the purpose of rhyming?

I hope for the latter……..

Ha, of course. Just because all the parallels she describes exist, because people are being put on the watch and no-fly lists for arbitrary reasons, are blocked from leaving the country. Because there is a secret prison where they torture prisoners with no due process, because constitutional protections have been whittled away during Bush’s presidency, she’s a “tin hat wearing moonbat.”

Because everything she’s said is happening is true, she’s a moonbat.

I’m sorry. I have to say it.

That woman is a tin hat wearing moonbat.

More on “differently-abled. Not only are the people who meet him intreiged, they see him as a person first. They become instantly aware of his strengths and talents – what’s right, not so much what’s wrong. As a culture of autism and a greater culture of differently abled persons, regardless of label, HOW do we change people’s minds about the notion that different is not inherently bad, but just different? I don’t want the culture of autism disabled or devalued, either. My son has taught us, everyone who knows him, works with, plays with, lives with him, the most important things in life. It’s his gift to us. Is it possible that the whole of humanity needs to learn this lesson? answr: now more than ever….

Hit send too soon:

Andrea,

Also, to answer your question (even as late as I am), the video’s topic is the End of America, or the Rise of Fascism in America. Naomi Wolf describes the ten steps that lead to a society closing down and becoming a fascist society.

The reason I posted a link to her blog rather than to specific entries was that all but one of the entries deals with this. Unfortunately, I didn’t consider that I should have been specific, something I try to do no matter where I post.

Further, I didn’t read the new posts carefully enough when I came back to post about the possibility of Blackwater getting sent to San Diego, because I was in a hurry and focused on discussion elsewhere, thus missing your question when I posted previously.

Riel^Amorpha,

I tend to avoid the Huffington Post because they’ve jumped on the autism-mercury hysteria, endorsed by the founder.

I had no idea. I apologize for linking there.

Andrea,

I’m sorry I missed your post earlier. Thankfully, andreashettle and Makoto have both posted good text links.

Also, I apologize for posting such vague statements and a not specific link in the first place. I should have paid more attention to what I was posting.
