I read the entire article and have zero complaints with its contents.
It could have been written 10 years ago, however, when I was making exactly the same case. With 8 years of Obama Fascism under out belts the points in the article have more substance and evidence to back them up. Yet the underlying issues have not changed over time.
As a side note: In the 1860's when the Civil War officially broke out with the secession of South Carolina things had merely come to a pivotal head. Fighting had been going on long before that official start date, however.
