In my opinion, fascism is not a word which can be applied to the current Govenment, nor the electorate of the USA. In fact, it seems wholly inaccurate. Fascism def: "A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism."
Whereas you might be able to apply a certain amount of the above criterion (in a watered down version) to the US, it seems inappropriate to do so. Considering the precedents regarding fascism (e.g. Benito Mussolini & Adolf Hitler), I find it disrespectful to all the people who suffered through WW2 to apply the same label to Bush. Bush does not exemplify fascist ideals (he might display views which you do not agree with, however they are nothing compared to WW2).
In general, I do not agree with Mr Bush's views regarding the economy of his country (in macro-economical terms, his policies are severely flawed). In addition, I find his foreign policy to be fatally simplified and utterly dangerous.
When Bush recently visited the U.K., I went out in London and spoke to several protesters. I asked them why they were opposed to his visit. The majority of answers I received were frankly shocking. They ranged from :"...it's the war 'innit..." to "...it's the oil man...". Whilst there may be certain discrepancies regarding Haliburton and their involvement re Cheney, this cannot masquerade as a credible reason to oppose the war. I have found that the majority of people who oppose Bush, have no idea of what is actually going on. They are simply hopping on the bandwagon. The majority of these people have no knowledge of policies or processess extending beyond what they have seen on the television.
I do actively oppose the majority of Bush's policies. However, I almost find the ignorance of the 'hippy brigade' more frightening than the US foreign policy.

Hey, don't hold all republicans to my low standards. Remember, one of us happens to be the recently re-elected President of the United States. Not bad for a group of people you feel are "livin under a rock". LOL

Don't you love Democracy! YeeHaa!!!!Quote:Anyway at least now we know he will never get re-elected again!
You're right on that count. As long as the Constitution continues to be honored, elections will go forward in another 4 years and the US will have another great debate about how to move forward. For now, Bush carried the day. Conservative values and ideas garnered the vote. Slim ... very slim majority. Welcome to American Democracy (or as you've put it - fascism).
I'll most likely crawl under the rock I've been hiding under, but I want you (and every one else) to know that, despite our clear disagreements, I appreciate you having contributed your thoughts to the debate (and your news clippings too). This kind of open debate is extremely healthy for the democratic process in our republic. I'm glad I've had the opportunity to take part in it this time around.
Thanks - Patrick

Patrick excuse me but i've been a liittle busy elsewhere..Its a mobilephone forum you see....So i had other important work to take care of....Anyway your making it sound like this discussion is over...No No No!...Not by a long shot pal!
Remember our hero Joshua Kinberg?He was the guy who had the
SMS-enabled chalk-printing bike that got him arrested for printing protest messages during the RNC. Well, if you were curious as to his whereabouts, he’s officially now out on ACD (”Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal”), which means his case will be dropped if he’s not arrested within the next 6 months. But the real bonus is that unlike a lot of Critical Mass people we’ve heard about, he’s actually going to get his Parsons-thesis project bike back.

If you feel George W. Bush should be impeached, paint a sign that says "Impeach." and post it in a public place. Details at:
