http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x9410816What do you think? How close to Fascism is America?
 I am just throwing this article out for thought and discussion. I believe we are certainly facing a strong fascist element that has loads of power, but I think we can still avoid the full blown level. I just don't know how close and fear we are closer than we want to believe. However, I am putting this out for discussion and not trying to sound the doom and gloom alarm. I am trying to say it is a serious issue. Here are excerpts and the link of the article:

Fascist America: Is This Election the Next Turn?
It's not fascism yet; but if the Tea Party manages to get its hands on the levers of power, it will be.
October 22, 2010 In August 2009, I wrote a piece titled Fascist America: Are We There Yet? that sparked much discussion on both the left and right ends of the blogosphere. In it, I argued that -- according to the best scholarship on how fascist regimes emerge -- America was on a path that was running much too close to the fail-safe point beyond which no previous democracy has ever been able to turn back from a full-on fascist state. I also noted that the then-emerging Tea Party had a lot of proto-fascist hallmarks, and that it had the potential to become a clear and present danger to the future of our democracy if it ever got enough traction to start winning elections in a big way.

On the first anniversary of that article, Jonah Goldberg -- the right's revisionist-in-chief on the subject of fascism -- actually used an entire National Review column to taunt me about what he characterized as a failure of prediction. Where's that fascist state you promised? he hooted.

21. Yup. The 2000 coup really cemented it in. And that disastrous Supreme Court
 decision making money equal to free speech finished us off.

They tend to ignore the fact that Lord Zero has continued and expanded many of the policies they didn't like under President Bush. Yet it's always the right that they are worried about.

Fascism has been rampant in the USA during the last two years.  This election is about STOPPING fascism.

Still trying to twist my brain around the fact that people for a smaller government and more personal liberty is the party of fascism.  Maybe a few hits of the Maui Wowie will get me straight on this.

Our understanding of fascism is a tyrannical regime like that of Mussolini-era Italy. Their definition of it is "anything I don't like."

These people have a profound misunderstanding of what ANYTHING is!

Not a single one of them have an original thought in their empty head, they just spout what they were indoctrinated or what they hear on the alphabet lamestream media outlets.

WOW! Feed off the military industrial complex? Seize Iraqi oil? If we seized their oil, why are we still paying for it at the pumps and why do gas prices keep going up?! :hyper: :mental:
Don't forget DUmmies, WE were the ones attacked. They flew planes into our buildings and killed Americans. :bird: :censored:

Dude, forget it.  I've had I don't know how many German beers this evning and I still can't get my head that far up my rectum.  Then again, I was surrounded by some astoundingly beautiful women, so why would I be considering DUmmie philosophy.

Mostly, Bitburger.  I was over here training for the Air Force, one of the airmen was turning forty and they invited us out.
