Poll question: With the approval of Alberto R. Gonzales are we now fascist?
Militarism and fascism are what my USMC dad fought against in WWII.
But it seems as though the RW fruitcakes and traitors to our US Constitution and their partisans are running amok furthering the PNAC agenda.

There was voter fraud again last November. Are we into fascism with this "shadow government"?

1. We are not fascist, but the regime in power in this country is!
The question is, will the world see the difference?

3. I know exactly what to think
The vote to confirm Gonzales was a vote for fascism. But the project is not complete. Senate Republicans have demonstrated that they will rubberstamp fascism, however, many among them appear not to understand the true consequences and implications of their deeds. Fascism will not become an explicit agenda (under any label) until the consolidation of power by the RNC reaches the point where it becomes undeniably advantageous. We have not yet reached that point.

7. "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer, ein Volk"
One People, one Empire, one Leader, one People




One Hope, One people, One country, One leader.
One Hope, One people, One country, One destiny.

Stand up be brave my people we're here to stay, for a thousand years.
An oath you've spoken, can never be broken, you'll pay, in blood and tears
Never tire, never doubt, never falter, never slacken, Just believe in me.
Stand up, shout loud, stand proud, in what we will we will achieve.

One Hope, One people, One country, One leader will set you free
One Hope, One people, One country, One destiny for a thousand years

Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher, Ein Volk,
Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher, Ein Volk,
Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher, Ein Volk,
Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher, Ein Volk.

It's not enough just to say you love your country, its not enough.
It's not enough to get down on your knees and pray, it's just not enough.

The price is high, the price you have to pay is your freedom, surrender yourselves.
Mothers send me your blue-eyed blonde-haired boys and let me see them, blue-eyed blonde-haired boys.

One Hope, One people, One country, One leader will set you free.
One Hope, One people, One country, One destiny for a thousand years.

Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher, Ein Volk,
Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher, Ein Volk,
Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher, Ein Volk,
Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher, Ein Volk,
Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher, Ein Volk,
Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher, Ein Volk,
Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher, Ein Volk,
Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher, Ein Volk.

One Hope, One people, One country, One leader will set you free
One Hope, One people, One country, One destiny for a thousand years.

14. The shadow government is out of the shadows.
To me, that's the message of the past 4+ years.

15. Not fascist, but imperialist
The distinction is subtle (and I'm not sure if it'll hold up).

But I don't see the Repukes making a big fetish out of trumped-up national unity and gathering together the Volk, the way the Nazis and the Italian fascists did. Rather, I think they're simply consolidating power, more like Augustus Caesar. You can disagree and not be jailed or murdered, but you'll definitely get marginalized.
