specifically a made-up term "Islamo-fascist".
his made me reacquaint myself with the term. Wikopedia gives this explanation of fascism. It sounds a bit familiar to me:
Fascism is a radical totalitarian political philosophy that combines elements of corporatism, authoritarianism, extreme nationalism, militarism, anti-anarchism, anti-communism and anti-liberalism.
I wonder if "W" would recognize himself in this.
Totalitarian- silence all oposition
Corporatism - Oil guys are happy and well connected
authoritarianism - because daddy says so- now shut up
nationalism- throw in the flag and support our troops
militarism- duh
the anti-s they all fit too.
Perhaps we can chip away at the armor after November. If we take away one of the branches of our government we might actually have a chance of saving some of our remaining principles.
