>>> Our government was duly elected It was. The Democrats AND the Republicans were duly elected. The Republicans have been totally shut out of the process, against the will of the people. I'm not saying the government can't be taken back -- it can and I believe it will. But what we've witnessed to date is a move toward fascism, in the same way FDR's administration moved toward fascism -- and he was shut down, too -- but not before massive damage was done. There are a lot of characteristics of fascism that are shared with the Obama/democrat machine. The concept of a single party state, the attempts to suppress and contain an open society and any opposition, the disavowing of individualism and any economic motivation, etc. These are the foundational principles of fascism. They do have this constitutional thing to overcome, and I think it is too strong for them. But it isn't from a lack of trying. >>> Oh c'mon...this is ridiculous. It isn't ridiculous. You have one guy, who does as he pleases, with abject disregard for the people, in this case, with a congress that is nothing more than a supporting figurehead. We've never seen anything remotely like this in our nation's history, other than the aforementioned FDR actions, which failed.
