The Bush administration deliberately stoked public fears after 9/11--just as the Nazi's used the Reichstag Fire

Nero burned a building and blamed it on the christians back when the roman empire existed it is amazing how far that tactic goes back in history, but it still works, it drives me mad.

Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

The proof of the pudding is in the EATING (in this case, the watching) (http://www.truemajority.org/oreos/) (clicking on this link will show you the United State's budget)

Theres always Canada.

I heard a radio show where this question was asked of a holocaust survivor, and he said although people should be aware of creeping facism, for the most part Hitler was orders of magnitude more brutal and dictatorial in his methods.

Violating Godwin's Law in the very first post on a thread. It will be an interesting test of the law to see if the thread goes much further.

Yes, I can only hope that the Marine's who claimed to have slaughtered entire villages, I can only hope they were lieing...

Oliver, you love Haliburton? Please explain this!

watched tis really insightful docu. the other night. cant remember at the moment title, but tis guy said that what 'the news/media' tends to do is hide past news....! think about tis causeit is true.
so what he did was find onld news/papers and study tem. round about pre nazism...?
and he discovwred how craftywas the creeping onslaught of nazism. dig. how e media people started to be fearful and become out and out propaganderists for the growing evil!!. it creeps up, and then yer in it up to your follicles before you know it is what he meant

You cannot compare Bush with Hitler. Not because Bush isn't a facist, but Bush is just a puppet whose strings are pulled. Hitler pulled all strings. And had a brain. And charisma. And wrote a book. And probably didn't just read summaries that were shoved in front of his nose. In fact Hitler tried to control all.

Not that Hitler was a nice guy. But neither is Bush.

Yes, I agree with that spurious, people need to know he is a puppet. The Corperations are the puppeteers, and of course the Federal Reserve, the puppet master. With our current fiat money system, we are all strung up in some way...

HERE IS A LIST OF WAR CRIMES COMMITED IN IRAQ BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION AND THE UNITED STATES: http://deoxy.org/wc/warcrim2.htm#charge

Please read this.

Hitler's probably a little worse than Bush, because he had racist intentions.

Musta dropped a shit load on your house. I truly feel sorry for people like you. And not because you cant type a coherent sentence... because 50 years from now G.W. will go down as one of the greatest presidents to ever live , a man who changed the face of the earth. And people like you will be laughed at once again. Just like the freaks from WW2 to now. You're all laughable.

You're all laughable.

Yeah right pal, because you're not displaying any laughable extremism..... http://www.fadzter.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Hey Oliver, I really hope that you are right on your Bush prediction, quite honestly... But I just wish I knew what the Bush Administration is up to, if you say he is going to be seen as really great, how is he going to do this?

You see, we're in Iraq spending soooo much money, its causing America to get deeper in debt, day by day.

Perhaps we are accomplishing peace in Iraq? And yet the bullets still fly.
We see the corperations raking in the $$$, but perhaps this is for the right cause?

After all this, I get reports from Marines saying they went in and took out entire villages, are they taking out villages that are really war loving people or something?? Are the Marines lieing about this? Why would they do that?

Unfortunately he'll probably change the face of the earth for the worse.50 yrs from now people will wonder why he thought it more pressing to go for after Iraq instead of bin Laden and how on earth a simpleton got elected head of the most powerful nation in the world.

right, so you care more about a person's typing, and will have contempt for a person who happens to drop some typos than for a facist who drops tons of depleted uranium on children women and men, and his own soldiers, which poisons the very environemt, and creates cancers, genetic defomations, slow lingering deaths, and whih is active for hundreds and hundreds of years. Basically genocide and ecocide. THAT you defend do you?!!!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you've finally learned English! Who taught you? Or have you finally dicovered Microsoft Word? ;)

Rampant anti-intellectualism, declining quality of education, the rise of religious fundamentalism to the extent that it dictates politics and law-making, political deceit at the highest levels, erosion of civil liberties, warmongering, the re-election of a dictatorial leader with the IQ of a carrot, the loss of economic superiority……

Bush will definitely be remembered by history as a famous US leader – famous for being the leader that ushered in the fall of the USA as the world’s only superpower as a direct result of its own myopic, self-centered and insular foreign policies. China and India are coming…..

Hercules, I highly doubt that Bush is going to bring down the United States, and if he does, it will be because America was weak, morally, economically etc

America is the place where the people can step up and say "no." But all they have done is made Bush's approval rating go down, essentially sayin "I dont like dat Bush charactor, noth'n I can do 'bout noth'n."

The problem with democracy is that you get the kind of government you deserve.

Idiotic comparison. Bush is a neocon, not a nationalist, and he's definitely not a socialist.
