Tiny Facist Bubbles In My Sink
.......I agree with Frenchie's comment that fascism hasn't developed fully here in the states, however, I think the seeds have been sown, and some have already sprouted much to the delight of the Neo-con Garden Club.
.......The corporate elite and the Bush Administration are one entity in America and that is cause for concern. These words from the father of "Fascismo" describe the foundation upon which fascist structure is based; "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini
.......Now, I will address some of Doc Strangelove's points. Many actions of the Bush Administration ARE consistant with fascism. Putting "the emphasis on self-reliance" to sell the privatization of Social Security is a manipulation straight out of Propaganda 101. Like the carrot that is dangled before the mule, it is being used to divert attention from the Wall Street firms who will REALLY be in charge of our money.
The "individual desires placed over community needs", are the desires of the corporate elite not of the American middle class and working poor.
Finally, fascism does not deny God. Fascist leaders tie themselves to the most common religion and proclaim themselves to be defenders of the faith. "Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religions are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions." (L. W. Britt) The religion chosen by the fascist leadership is used to shield the leaders from attack - an attack on "our leader" is seen as an attack on "the people of faith" or on their God. The religious population is soon manipulated to support the fascist regime which in hand gives the regime moral standing.
I have never, in my 55 years, seen such abuse of power, lying, manipulation, and greed companioned with total disregard not only for the people of this country, but for people all over the world. George W. Bush is the WORST president in the history of the United States and that is why we need to continue to fight for democracy right here at home!

Bake me a cake!
Morris
Ask Morris
Anyone who would try to argue that George W. Bush has ever been a "great" anything is too far removed from reality to try to connect to, even with the wonderful means of communication we have in this day and age.
As for the other ROFL-that Clinton was "worst"-I'll bet you the newly-minted millions of impovershed Americans would disagree.
Morris.....On the rare occaison I bake, but only as a treat for my family. Next week a pineapple upside down cake from scratch.
Abraham.....I agree politicians are the misfits of society.
Right On!....How come I get the feeling that you drive a Big Ass, American, gas guzzling truck or Humvee?
Archangel...You're rude! There was no reason to be mean about Morris.
- Bush doesn't stand: he is propped up by the military. His legacy will be one of poverty, lies, and death.
-And - You haven't cornered the market on hard work. We all work hard. The difference is many of us care about one another enough to share and you don't!
-"Community needs" was quoted from a comment to another post.
-I did not advocate socialism, I defined fascism.
-As for "group think" your entire argument illustrates it perfectly!
-Henry Ford supported the Nazi movement and Hitler with money, car parts, and trucks for the German forces who occupied France.
-China is an up and comming country and they own the majority of the debt run up under the Bush administration ....if they call in that debt you can kiss your risks,
efforts, and rewards good-bye!
Okdemocrat.....You covered all of the rest of the angel-con's "group think" points and beautifully!
Jolly Roger....I argue that G.W. Bush is a "great" failure...or even a "colossal" failure. War is a failure of foreign policy.
Off to sleep I go....KWW
And I concede the kitchen window lady's point.
I must think more before I post...
