You are misguided in your assumption. Fascism is more closely akin to socialsim as it relies on a large government bureacracy and limiting peoples choices. It would actually be closer to the new democrat philosophy. Open borders, myriad entitlement/welfare programs and punishing those who are successful via higher taxation are ways of controlling the populus. Currently the 15% who represent the highest paid in the U.S. foot nearly 75% of the tax burden. Recent proposals from both the senate and house of representatives are aimed at increasing the taxable income of the middle class as well. It is a platform that seems common among the left-wing extremists who now dictate to liberal/democrat congressmen/women. Please take the time to do some research in the future.

For the same reason that the Democrats want it. Because they are horrible, or at least, most of them. Because it, like communism, puts them in complete control with no obligation to protect the individual or the rights of the individual, and it affords no check to their authority or limit to their greed.
"In order to understand the alternatives that political systems might find it fatal for us to consider, I propose using a vertically-described system, with "up" and "down" designations in place of the horizontal model. At the upper end would be found complete individual liberty, while at the lowest end would reside systems of total statism. The arrangement might look something like this:"
* Anarchism
* Libertarianism (classical "liberalism")
* Conservatism
* Modern liberalism
* Welfare-statism
* Limited state-socialism
* Feudalism
* Expansive state-socialism
* Fascism/communism

Actually, you know nothing about global history or geo politics. A fascist state, run benignly, is a great form of government. Study Spanish history when Francisco Franco took over and how he fixed the huge mess that you communists had made there over the course of his 46 year reign. Study pre world war 2 Germany, Italy, and Japan and you will see that their facist states overcame the global depression more quickly than communist Russia or socialists like Franklin Roosevelt and Neville Chamberlain (only rampant militarism doomed the Axis powers).
Your nonsense about Republicans wanting facism is nonsense that is unworthy of response.

What is your definition of fascism. Most young people only regurgitate it because some other equally uninformed liberal lemming said it. I had a liberal relative tell me people should not be allowed to support a ban of Dixie Chicks music based solely on their opposition to their political rhetoric. That is the true definition of fascism honey.

You might actually learn things if you don't ask loaded questions. Presuming that the other political party is fascist will shut down discussion and you will only get answers from people who already agree with everything you think.

Ultimate power and control for them.
They are not interested in true democracy.
They are not altruistic or humanitarian.
The sad thing is the American people cant see it.
They are being manipulated to support this system by the media.

That is an incorrect assertion. It's like me asking why Democrats want to make America a socialist state. I know you are probably just making a point, but the premise is faulty and unfair.

You must be screwed up. The Democrats are the ones that are Fascists. Don't you pay attention? You must be a Liberal, or a smart alec child. You need to read your history on politics. Might do you some good.
