FOCUS: Writer remembers article describing fascist Spain

By Ashley Herndon |  In this election cycle before any of us endorse theocratic proto-fascism as a “good” alternative to our democratic republic, understand a miserably failed movement .

“Spain’s Francisco Franco called himself Caudillo, meaning ‘strongman,’ and once in power, quickly began stripping away social freedoms. Up to the early 1930s, Spain (having overcome some historical terrors,) was among Europe’s most progressive countries.”

U.S. Supreme Court

FOCUS: Considering the Supreme Court and its recent decisions

By Ashley Herndon  |  Our Supreme Court SMOTE us with various verdicts this summer.  With each, another nail hit the coffin of our democracy.  The attack was led and controlled by the ultraconservative theocratic religious right.  If you do not feel helpless in halting this fast-moving train wreck, then “you just might be one.”

ANOTHER VIEW: January 6 was similar to Germany’s Kristallnacht 

By Ashley Herndon |  Posit One:  Authoritarians are like cancers. No matter what we do, both are always with us. We have yet to defeat either, only treat them. They are both killers and maimers. Both have a ‘recognizable indicator’ phase.

ANOTHER VIEW: The question becomes: Are we today the enemies of justice?

By Ashley Herndon  |  Some of us may have heard the rumor that our state, country and many parts of the world are getting more unjust, not less.  Ouch.  At the same time, some claim we are the most civilized humans in history.  Tell that to the Ukrainians and others under fire in Africa, the Middle East and some places close to home.
