Re: Last I checked, this wasn't Nazi Germany, The parallels are there for anyone to see who cares to look. Here's a few characteristics: 1) A right wing political party comes to power under dubious circumstances. 2) A major conflagration is responsible for the consolidation of power, terrorization of the country's population, enactment of anti-democratic legislation and national bellicosity. 3) Xenophobia is used as a rallying device by the leadership. 4) Official secrecy and governmental opacity dramatically increase. 5) "Superman" myths, racial superiority and denigration of undermenschen rise dramatically among the populace. 6) Deceit is practiced in the form of propaganda. 7) Torture becomes acceptable policy 8) Latent nationalistic imperial ambitions are glorified. There's plenty more parallels. You only have to open your eyes and read beyond the statist propaganda provided by the corporate media. Here's a very good primer on fascism, and why it looks like the U.S. is on the slippery slope to ugly dictatorship and the end of the American Dream: oldamericancentury.org

OK, Raymond. Let's take off our tin hats. Last I checked, this wasn't Nazi Germany, although you'd think so from all the ravings of the lunatic left. At what point does it become Nazi Germany......when its too late to do anything? I mean what conditions allow you to come to such a conclusion? I am surprised at your reaction. The article does not make radical leftie comments suggesting a rightie conspiracy.........the article simply states the facts. A senor WH official leaked private info to the press about an FBI agent. And the WH refuses to report the guilty party. Its part of a trend.....increasing loyalty to Bush and party that conflicts or takes away from one's loyalty to this country. Its happened repeatedly over the past 5 years. Something to think about......... ted
