My, my, how you love to throw around terms whose meaning you barely comprehend.

Main Entry: fas·cism
Pronunciation: 'fa-"shi-z&m also 'fa-"si-
Function: noun
Etymology: Italian fascismo, from fascio bundle, fasces, group, from Latin fascis bundle & fasces fasces
1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2 : a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control <early instances of army fascism and brutality -- J. W. Aldridge>

You wouldn't care to cite any instances where the President has actually DONE any of the above would you, dolt?

Let's see. Mussolini was the original fascist. He was a dictator.

Franco was a fascist. He was a dictator.

Hitler has commonly been called a fascist. He was a dictator.

George Bush is President of the United States. He is not a dictator. All you leftwing radiclibs are publicly lusting for his blood right now and not one of you has gone to jail for it. No editors, writers, or publishers are in jail for criticizing him. There is no severe economic and social regimentation. If there is, what of your antiwar demonstrations? How did they happen? People went to jail? Some, yeah. They broke other laws that were in place before they were born and are meant to protect other, noninvolved people and their property. There has been no forcible suppression of opposition. I defy you to cite a single instance.

Some dictator.

Not that truth ever matters to the likes of you.

I dislike the Patriot Act, but you simply prove yourself a fool. Switch sides. You'll do more to get it repealed if you support it.
