I hope so. :)
You may have missed the earlier very imaginative speculation by some on the list that Obama's rhetoric and resulting "ecstacy" among Democrats are a foretaste of what a homegrown American fascism would look like. Ironically, at one time that was the charge some US leftists levelled at Huey Long, Huckabee's alleged forerunner. I don't think Huckabee is a throwback to Long, except superficially, but that's another matter.
