One of many questions from the interview:
JS: What do you think is the biggest misconception about the Tea Parties?
NW: The Tea Party is not monolithic. There is a battle between people who care about liberty and the Constitution and the Republican Establishment who is trying to take ownership of it and redirect it for its own purposes.
[Editor’s note: Yes Naomi Wolf is on the left of American politics and is NOT a Republican, but sometimes we can learn something from someone who sees things from a different perspective than we do. More than that, we must protect the rights of all, especially the weakest among us if we are to retain freedom! She seems to get that better than some of my fellow Republicans sad to say but worth noting here. I will be interested in your thoughts and comments on this article!/sc]
I have but 1 small problem with Naomi Wolf’s list – it was incomplete. She forgot the 11th mark or sign of FASCISM:
11. The complete and total surrender of a free people via the abolishment of fire-arm ownership and use within a nation.
That is very important because that 11th mark GUARANTEES the LAST (mortal) BASTION OF HOPE to REVERSE ALL OF THE OTHERS!!
