You are so absolutely correct. I've also been studying fascism and as the political scientist Philips Shively calls it. It is a concept of showmanship. It is more on show than substance on any day. Fascism by your description is a the kind of government system that is very pretentious. Bush might be a little more pretentious than any other president in the US but so is the rest of the human race. anyway Bush has his strong points even in this war. War is showmanship and results from your descriptions. Nice point

I agree (and I've thought so for quite awhile now) except the sexism. But then again, I think we're on the verge of democratic destruction (esp with this Adm), global warfare (nuclear holocost?) and economic collapse too. Am I being paranoid? I think we're in BIG trouble. Obviously, I'm not the only one.

"Sounds more like this country than Islam!"
Great. Glad you feel that way.
Convert to Islam and move to Pakistan then. You will be much happier there... after all... according to even your own ideals... Islam is more free and tolerant than the United States.
Back up your rhetoric... and leave this country so you may experience freedom from fascism. If not then STFU.
