How to recognize a Despot (no, not a new Michael Moore movie!)
Mr. Moore's recent movie has recieved a lot of press about how it seems to paint "Bush43" as a despot. Well, a movie made half a century ago can teach you how to spot despotism in action...and after seeing things like how the Supreme Court decided the election, and Bush's regime floating the idea of finding a way to delay the election, the movie's message seems very relevent today. In fact, I would recommend it to people as much as I recommend they go and see Fahrenheit 9/11, no matter what your political pursuasion is.
BTW, this movie is in the public domain, and I expect that someone will soon re-image the movie with clips from today....also notable is the US Pledge of Allegiance without the reference to God...
