Bush IS a Fascist! Even the REPUBLICANS agree
>>Had the word "fascism" been used in the same sentence with the word "American" by the likes of Michael Moore, Alec Baldwin, or Gore Vidal, it would not surprise anyone. But no less a conservative Republican icon than Paul Craig Roberts, a former Reagan aide, apostle for supply-side economics, and Wall Street Journal editor, noted what he called the "brownshirting" of America in a recent issue of The American Conservative. And, in that same magazine's latest issue, Scott McConnell's piece, "Hunger for Dictatorship," discusses in some detail what he sees as the possibility of incipient fascism in America. <<

The meme is spreading beyond our ranks...

And the spreading is GOOD!

1. This is good
too bad the people that need to read don't read.All the mansions I built media extravaganzas for have less books than t.v.s in them
American media's profits are based on a population that buys an eternal adolescence,not a wise " be here now " but a no history no past present of dumbed down beliefs.

3. Fascism is Corporatism
Yeah, the Silverspoon Sociopath is not a conservative. He is a Fascist in the Mussolini fashion.

"These new conservatives would have us trade in our democracy for a corporatocracy, a form of feudal government most recently reinvented by Benito Mussolini when he recommended a "merger of business and state interests" as a way of creating a government that would be invincibly strong. Mussolini called it fascism." Thom Hartmann

2. Get Ready
Because with rigged elections and corporate / de-facto state propaganda media. I sadly predict civil unrest in the not too distant future..

We just haven't reached critical mass yet. Still too many oblivious people worried about the 'super-bowl' and what's happening on 'friends'..

4. Um, Friends ended last year...
Better not be so oblivious yourself if you want a lot of people on our side. I watched the Super Bowl myself. Even politicos need a little entertainment...

5. My 11yo daughter asked where will be hide
when the French revolution starts? She said they were discussing in social studies how history repeats itself and she said according to her teacher that we're on the brink of the next "French revolution" when you look at all that's happening in our government. She asked me who I would think would be the equivalent to Robspierre in our gov't. I told her I think we've bypassed the french rev period and have gone directly into WWII Germany.
