The thing is, although some Americans claim that the current Republican candidates are on the fringe and don't represent America...Santorum could win. Romney could win. Bush won. Twice.
And everyone was saying he was an idiot, and wondering what the Republicans were thinking putting him up for office. Anyways, from history the analysis of the leadup to fascist regimes seems to be: Powerful and continuing nationalism Disdain for human rights Identification of enemies/scapegoats Supremacy of the military Controlled mass media Obsession with national security Religion and government are intertwined Corporate power is protected Labor power is suppressed Didsdain for intellectuals and the arts Obsession with crime and punishment Rampant cronyism and corruption Fraudulent elections Rampant sexism This sounds like the GOP/Republican party. Regardless of what this party used to be, it's core is now Rush Limbaugh, Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney, Geraldo, Fox News and their supporters etc. That's the party. And that's who could be in charge of the most powerful country in the World, which sets the rules and laws for the rest of the world (and refuse at your own risk). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:349338 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
