Is the Bush administration acting more like fascist than their party members would like?

Question

mr-methane,,,,the republican party is finished in 2008,and even now it is burning all its bridges of hope.if Bush is not careful ,the ones you hate may throw you in the mash.the libs seem to be the majority these days.just from a open minded view.

Answer 1

I wish they would be even more facist like and round up little liberal morons like you and throw them in internment camps like FDR did during WWII to the Japaneese until the war was over.

Answer 2

In terms of their tendency to secrecy and "covert" unilateral action, many in the Republican party find the Bush administration's practices troubling. I'd say most Republicans demand transparency in government; the Bush administration hasn't given us that. It is more "totalitarian" (I do not use that term liberally, I use it literally) than we'd like it to be. It wouldn't be the first executive to hide important details from the other branches of government, but it might be the most secretive in my lifetime. A good example is, Bush signing an Executive Order shortly after he first took office which classifies all the files of the previous two administrations forever on the basis of "national security". It effectively keeps the public from knowing what went on during the Bush 41 and Clinton years. We can only write our country's history accurately if armed with the knowledge of what actually happened; the Executive Order basically erases 12 years (20, if you include the Bush 43 years) - as if they didn't even happen.

Answer 3

The term "fascism" has become hopelessly vague in the years following World War II, and that today it is little more than a pejorative epithet used by supporters of various political views to attempt to discredit their opponents...

Answer 4

I think so. We must rememebr that the REpublican party was not always the evil gang of turd-herders they are now.
Abe Lincoln was a Republican, and he stated (rather ahead of his time and very appropraite for today), "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves"
And furthermore Teddy Roosevelt stated:, "The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life."

How clever these great men were, yes?

Answer 5

IDIOT.
