Glenn Reynolds yesterday linked to a left-wing blog because of the author’s displeasure with Harold Ford Jr. (I didn't read the post; I assume he didn't like him because he's black). From a scan of the posts at the blog, it's just the average postings of a BDS sufferer, but a quote at the top of the blog caught my eye:

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." - Sinclair Lewis

I don't know who Sinclair Lewis is, but I was thinking that maybe I could write something really quotable about fascism coming to America and then other blogs would feature what I say. So, I decided to come up with a super-quotable quote about fascism. I figured I'd either have to spend a long time thinking about the nature of fascism or just start writing whatever comes to mind.

I, of course, chose the latter:

If you have your own ideas for quotable quotes about fascism coming to America, put them in the comments.
