it’s been over seventy years
since sinclair lewis prophetically
declared that when fascism
comes to america it will
come wrapped in a flag
and carrying a cross
i fear it is now come
i fear a time is at hand
when so-called traditional
values are forging false
consciousness through
a unifying divisiveness
of righteousness and fear
through the impious and
appalling dissemination
of supremacist discourses

a time is soon at hand
when there will be no one
left to speak for those of us
not white enough man
enough conservative christian
american enough and especially
those simply thoughtful enough
to know the difference between
our national history and our
national myth and to ardently
resist the subtle and seductive call
of these new values
the traditional fundamental
sacred christianamerican
values of the new nationalism
