I'm a huge Progressive Radio fan- Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartman, Mike Malloy, Randi Rhodes, Rachael Maddow, Sam Seder, The Young Turks even Ed Schultz. I'm a former Submarine Sonar Technician, Progressive, Democratic, Patriotic, Pro-Choice, Anti-Bush, Pro-Constitution, Anti-Fundamentalist, Pro-Family, Amateur Sculptor and artist, Secular-Progressive, Defender of Freedom, All-around decent guy.

I know it looks bad and there is reason to fear, but think about it this way, the U.S is a large and unwieldy country, it would be practically impossible for the fascists to completely thwart the will of the people. They may try to shut us down, that's a definite possibility, but there are plenty of patriots like you and me who aren't afraid. I've lived a great life and if I had to forfeit it to help win back the rule of law and the protections of the Constitution, I'd gladly do it. It may never come down to that and this all may fritter out and be dealt with by the courts. One way or another this crisis too shall pass. The Constitution is a living, breathing document with self correcting mechanisms. Maybe this is a phase that we as Americans had to go through to know that fascism can happen anywhere and that we are not immune. Freedom will prevail, it may take a second revolution to make that happen, but this democracy will not go quietly into that good night. Not without a fight........
