In reference to the recent Huckabee ad with an apparent cross in the background, the illustrious Ron Paul is reminded of Sinclair Lewis saying fascism will come "wrapped in a flag, carrying a cross".  While Rupaul confesses he hadn't thought about it completely (surprise, surprise), it's most curious that this is the first thing that jumps into his scattered mind.

He then tried to backpedal saying that huckabee's trying to use it to show that he's the only christian, and that he would never use the cross in that fashion.  Bad recovery, maybe you should have THOUGHT before being reminded of Sinclair Lewis.  Huckabee is a christian and he's not afraid to show the cross in his add.  I'm not certain why this scares Rupaul so much, but to instantly have fascism come to mind?  I wonder if George Washington would agree with Rupaul's assessment.

Has political correctness so permeated everything that the symbol of the Cross of Christ is a political obscenity?  That a United States presidential candidate instantly thinks of fascism in relation to the cross being shown in a campaign ad?  I'm appalled that it's come to this.  I expect this from the liberals and democrats, but not this so-called 'constitutionalist', of all people, he should be praising Huckabee for his use of the first amendment and not being ashamed to run as he is.  Nope; fascism.

Disgraceful and enlightening at the same time.
