America and Iraq: Two Democracies, Two Insurgencies

Is that parallel overblown? Well, maybe a little - Demofascists haven't taken to executing dozens of Republicans at once (yet...) - but the difference is only one of degree, and that difference is narrowing.

Just look at the headlines on my "Outside the Beltway" links page:

Early vote sites besieged by chaos
Dems Register al-Qaeda Terrorists in Ohio Vote Drive
Voter Intimidation in Florida
Campaign Violence in Oregon
Voter Intimidation in Colorado
Democrats Suppress The Vote in Florida
Campaign Violence in Arizona
Riots To Occur In Copley Square November 2nd
Ohio Dems registering terrorists
Democrat Insurgents Attack Cincinnati

That page used to have hardly any activity on it, aside from the periodic mention of Arnold Schwartzeneggar's latest gubernatorial exploits. Now it's becoming almost a domestic version of "World War IV".

It's a sobering irony, really: the world's oldest democracy and the world's youngest democracy, beset by the same fundamental problems, passing each other going in opposite directions.

If the Demofascist insurgency is successful, who, I wonder, will come to liberate us?
