Rampant cronyism and corruption

[firefox]

The 14 points of fascism have been put up here time and again. "Rampant cronyism and corruption" is point 13- http://www.secularhumanism.org/index.php?section=library&page=britt_23_2

We saw what happened when Brown was head of FEMA. We just read about the male veterinarian that will lead women's health at FDA. I might mention Karen Tandy of the Radio Shack Tandys being head of the DEA as her name never seems to appear here at DU.

I believe the biggest statement to be made is that American is a fascist country. I take the 14 points as being characteristics since I have not seen a more recognized list. With all that was said about Katrina, I felt that the Brown example should not be left out of the discussion of said fascism and that it is important to link it all to the fascism that now rules us.

3. When historians look back

and write about this period it will be more than apparent that we have slipped into Fascism. While we use the word Democracy to bully Iraq out of it's oil.

4. You do realize that crony capitalism has strong roots in local

government, right?
