No worries... Most people fail to define Fascism properly. Maybe because it's such a "nasty" sounding word to the Marxists and Socialists that everything that isn't part of their ideology must be labeled as "fascism".. Thats also why the american extreme left always uses the term to describe bush because in wartime the president claims additional power. Yes.. it certainly shuffles the balance between order (security) and freedom to the order side of the equation. But Bush, or any other president always must face the people at election time. And that's where the real power must remain, so that the government is always accountable to the people. Btw, if people re-elect such a president, then it can legitimately be claimed that they also are willing to temporarily surrender their previous freedoms for a temporary period until such time that they choose to claim them back. It just takes an active and informed electorate to ensure that freedoms surrendered are eventually reclaimed. Hawk
