Answer 1

There are three great totalitarian threats

#1Corporate Hegemony, frequently called Fascism that is out to drive the American Government into bankruptcy so it will have no power to stop them from looting the world, forcing everyone to act as if this was normal, and keeping everyone in serf like conditions.

They are pouring huge amounts of money into political bribery, and massive propaganda campaign, by their privately held Media, from Fox, GE (NBC), Disney (ABC) Clear Channel, and several smaller companies. They are very close to succeeding.

2. Theocracy. A group of fake Christians, who have perverted the religion and don't believe in it themselves, want to create a Taliban like Government that would use their ideas of Old Testament laws to run everybodies lives.

For everyone they cannot convert they would have various thought crimes, almost all of which would bring the death penalty. the practical result would be mass murder on the scale of Cambodia, but on a nationwide population, certainly hundreds of millions of people.

These folk make up a large part of the religious right, particularly among the leadership. They believe in secrecy an subversion to subvert real Christians.

Rev Moon wild card- The Moonies believe in secrecy and subversion to accomplish their ends also, and are secretly, and sometimes not so secretly subverting the rest of the religious right.

These folks also are at the gate getting at least a part of their agenda passed.

The third threat is bigotry, still more secretive but less a threat than in the South in the past. Still, as Sen. George Allen made clear, is still an active movement.

All three of these groups are in Coalition in the Republican Party the better the Republican party does, the closer they are to victory over freedom and democracy.

Answer 2

bush
a) he has a personal agenda that does not match with those he serves nor does it match with reality. He wants glory and fame, a spot in the history books. he opposes democracy by doing whatever he chooses in disregard to the wants of the american people.

b) he is the greatest threat to face us since WWII, creating enemies and animosity towards our great country. he's already succeeded at this and who knows how much more american blood he will spill.

c)he stole the election in the first place when his brother recounted the votes. not very democratic. he's restricted our liberties and freedoms, shredding the constitution and bill of rights. by... spying, no more need for warants, no more need for trials. you no longer need to prove a person is guilty, you can just accuse and convict anyone of terrorism, i'm sure he would like to go even further if he could get away with it.

Answer 3

I would go with the Bush adminstration, though I don't believe they are doing it intentionally (at least, not all of them). I honestly believe that George Bush and most of his adminstration is trying to protect Americans from what they percieve is the most dangerous threat to America, Islamist radicals.

And I'm not saying Islamist radicals aren't dangerous, they are. But the problem lies with how George Bush is trying to fight them. He is removing freedoms one by one, and he is doing it in the name of freedom. I don't believe he has tapped everyone's phoneline, but he has come up with legislation that allows him to tap anyone's phone line he deems fit. And he has no oversight above him to say he was right or wrong on it when he chooses someone. And he has set it up for every president to do it. Which means sooner or later there will be someone who takes advantage too far, even if it isn't Bush himself (though I believe Bush will take it too far if he hasn't already).

He also is trying to get rid of any chance a person has to defend themselves. Many argue that those on the other side are trying to protect terrorists. They are not. What they are trying to do is to protect those who are accused of terrorism but accused wrongly. Those who were caught because their name was similar to an actual terrorist (which has happened already at least 7 times, and that's just the ones we know about; there may be others who's story hasn't been heard). Or those who went to school with a current terrorist (who wasn't a terrorist at the time) and happened to be good friends with the guy at the time.

Yet Bush has set it up so that any evidence that may exonerate them is placed in a national security file and blocked from view so that no one can redeem themselves. And even if Bush doesn't take advantage of this (though I believe he will), someone eventually will.

Bush is not trying to be totalitarian (or at least I hope he isn't). But it isn't so hard for him to slide into totalitarianism and not even realize he did, because he is so hell-bent on protecting Americans from others that he doesn't realize he is the threat. He will always believe he is doing the right thing, or at least something acceptable if the intention is good. He, or someone like him will eventually plunge America into empire, and we will turn to the ways of Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. And while many see it, they are unwilling to fight it; and not everyone sees it and many still support him even though he is so close now to becoming another Stalin.
