US Attorney General and torture aficionado Alberto Gonzales laid out the blueprint for this nation’s rapid descent into fascism during a speech today to a right-wing organization called the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh. (Pittsburgh? The World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh? Wow. Who knew?) In making his case for the only thing left that can protect us from the global Islamic Jihad about to engulf us (which is the PNAC-sponsored, Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld New World Order) Al more or less ended any future legal references in this country to the Constitution generally, and the Bill of Rights specifically.

Regurgitating yet again the images of 9/11, he explained the reality that your neighborhood mosque was more than likely a dungeon of bearded terrorists clicking on their mouse-pads, filtering coded information transmitted from dank caves in Afghanistan, and generally just getting ready to kill you and as many other non-Muslims as possible before lunch – after which would come the really, really big action against our fragile homeland; possibly something on the order of the massive plot uncovered in London last weekend. (Planes blown out of the sky! Thousands dead! Burning bodies plunging into the North Atlantic! Cries of “Allahu Akbar” echoing into the fire lit night! Oh, my!) Frightening images. Scary stuff. Nightmare material. And it’s gonna happen here. Oh, yes. It is.

Unless . . . Well, Al has a plan.http://www.usdoj.gov/)( Included in Al’s plan is the, uh, realization that even your neighbor may be a terrorist. In fact, probably is one, unless he goes to church every Sunday and votes Republican. And, even then, there’s no way to know for sure. Just because the guy next door wears a suit to work, and is a member of the Lions Club, and drives a sensible American-built car, and has a quiet wife and mannerly kids, none of that is any guarantee he’s not a crazed Muslim who burns goat sacrifices at night in his basement and dreams of the 70 virgins he will enjoy in Paradise – as soon, of course, as he blows up the Sears Tower in Chicago or the next meeting of the local Middle School’s PTA. But all this can be avoided. We must be diligent in keeping watch on our neighbors. We must report . . . things.

We must make sure we allow our protectors the right to torture the pagan sonsabitches when they are rounded up in Afghan poppy fields or sweeps through London suburbs or mass arrests in Dearborn, Michigan malls. We must forget the silliness of a government of checks and balances (How quaint! How 20th Century!) And we must submit to the will of the Bush Crime Family. Then, and only then, will we as a nation find the peace promised in God’s real word, the Holy Bible. Dominus Vobiscum. My head hurts . . .
