American Fascism

Is American democracy on the decline and are we turning toward fascism?

You can make up your own mind. ANYONE with the slightest knowledge of history know there are certain aspects of the fascist state.

Here is a list of the characteristics of fascism.

BE AWARE: 14 DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS OF FASCISM ARE:

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
4. Supremacy of the Military
5. Rampant Sexism
6. Controlled Mass Media
7. Obsession with National Security
8. Corporate Power is Protected
9. Labor Power is Suppressed
10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment
12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
13. Religion and Government are Intertwined
14. Fraudulent Elections

Do any of these things seem familiar to anyone?

America under the bush administration has developed these characteristics and are moving away from the democracy that we, AS AMERICAN'S, have ONCE held so dear.

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judicial, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, may justly pronounced the very definition of tyranny”

- JAMES MADISON

“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is FASCISM: ownership of the government by an individual, by a group or any controlling private power.”

- FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT

“FASCISM should rightly be called CORPORATISM, AS IT IS A MERGER OF
STATE AND CORPORATE POWER"

- BENITO MUSSOLINI
