Will Grigg's Liberty Minute

August 17, 2007

The Council for Security Policy is a Washington think-tank intimately connected with the Bush administration. Its current and former members include Vice President Dick Cheney. The organization has several front groups, including one called Family Security Matters, or FSM.

On August 3, the FSM website published an essay by contributing editor Philip Atkinson calling for George W. Bush to proclaim himself president-for-life, and to use the US military to de-populate Iraq and re-populate it with Americans.

In fact, according to Atkinson, at the onset of the war Bush should have ?use[d] his nuclear weapons to slaughter Iraqis until they complied with his demands, or until they were all dead.? But he can redeem that mistake by ?becoming the first permanent president of America.? Otherwise, he would ?fail in his duty to himself, his country, and his God....?

This is the voice of an authentic strain of contemporary fascism, coming from a supposedly conservative group closely tied to the White House.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
