I find the term quite scary & frightening, but when you think about it the US used many Nazi scientists after the war that should have been tried & convicted as war criminals.

Yes it is alot like nazi germany From cops kicking in nonviolent citizens doors taking what ever they want of there personal items .They look more like military than police is just like the gustapo .Then the courts allow cops to lie with imunity for doing so and they take the peoples property and money .Passing unconstitutional; laws to victimize our poorer citizens who are already struggling to get by .Industrializing imprisoning the people for government slave labor .Out sourceing our job market to other countries .While over taxing us to the point if you figure up the tax on wages property every thing you by or do in our lives the govt. probably gets over half our wages .Robbing social security funds from our elderly .Politicians catering to corperate interest .Allowing petroleum companies to rob us for fuel .When they made 92 billion in profits in 1 month .Pharmecutical companies who govt. gives research grants inflates medicine prices for our citizens .The justice system is so corrupt that 200 people we were going to execute on death row DNA proved were innocent .Yes I can see the similarities

The thing Americans should worry about the most is if the National ID Act is implemented by Congress and signed by Bush. That's the closest thing to receiving microchips which would document our every movement in the US. Homeland Security, via the Patriot Act, wants to know what kind of books we checkout at the library & what we google on the internet. I don't like the term "Nazi", but if we start to lose certain freedoms of movement and expression, we may be closer to Big Brother then we all think.

I am afraid that the Nazi's belief were not so much evoluted and that is why they were destroyed. I meen that they were honest they said from the beginning what they were and the rest of the world knew what they had to fight at. Now everything is hidden and every opposite opinion is fought perfectly from this new capitalistic system that has nothing to do with democracy even they want to show that they believe in democracy.

It's good to be concerned because government needs to be watched very closely. By definition, it wants to govern which is the antithesis of freedom.
The US's Homeland Security is more like Soviet communist oppression.
Political correctness as practiced on our college campuses is more like Nazism.
All sorts of criminals are given immunity from prosecution in return for their cooperation with government. That should be illegal.

I do not think that that is a valid comparison. Legislation in Nazi Germany was for the protection, security and advancement of all the German people.
US Homeland Security is primarily concerned with creating insecurity and fear among the population of the US so that the current administration can pursue illegal wars primarily for the profit of the President's cronies. Doubtless the Patriot Act has been used on occasions for Political and Commercial purposes.

Yes the US has much like the Soviet Union (which no longer exists) has various CIA & other departments to monitor people within their population that could be deemed a threat to the status quo - it is exactly what Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin & many others did.
In my view, they should be made to keep and publish ALL documents within 2 years of their written on dates, so we'd all know what they have been up to, and so our legislature could give them better instructions on which people are harmless & which are threats & they should accept that eventual changes to the voting system & to corporate structures (to make them more inclusive, pluralistic & democratic) are not the end of the world.

No,don't be silly.Homeland security would be the Gestapo.But you are right.He is the forth Reich Nazi.That is how it is here in the States.They are just as zealous.But the difference is,the people didn't go for it.They voted out the Republicans.But in the press they are still strong.President Clinton couldn't even eat at McDonald's without the press going crazy.It was 24...7hours of anti-Clinton coverage.But with Heir Bush anything he does is ignored,or made OK by The press.They are that afraid.

Don't know much about it myself since I live in Scotland, but from what others have said here, the US Homeland Security situation certainly does sound frightening. I reckon you've made a good point.

Rich A... I didn't realize the US was under the same threat of compulsory ID cards as we are here in the UK. I fully agree with you.
Most people in the UK are fully supporting of ID cards and can't wait for them. Usual crap... "why not support them unless you've got something to hide". However they don't realize how much of a powerful profiling tool these IDs will be... tracking you constantly and storing information about your habits in a big database. The Goverment of today is not to be fully trusted... but with the power of ID cards at their disposal... we could all be subversives to the Government of tomorrow.
