How fascist is America becoming?

Question

The enabling crowbar was the Military Commissions Act of 2006. It gives the president authority to set up his own system for bringing alien combatants to trial while denying them protection of the Geneva Conventions. “The president and his lawyers now claim the authority to designate any American citizen he chooses as being an ‘enemy combatant,’” Wolf writes of power usurpation that characterized the post-World War One epoch in Europe and Asia.

Thus, Congress has empowered Bush just as Germany’s Reichstag empowered Hitler, Wolf writes, recalling Hitler’s boast, “Democracy will be overthrown with the tools of democracy.” Hitler’s Interior Minister issued Clause 2 that gave police the power to hold people in custody indefinitely and without a court order, powers the U.S. Congress today has conferred upon “The Decider” in the White House. Mussolini’s used the less grandiose “Il Duce” or “The Leader.”

Answer 1

America under its present leaders has already become fascist. Obama voted for the FISA bill after originally opposing it. We can only assume Barry was overcome with the excitement of being the heir to such power. McCain thinks he's going to get a free pass from guilt for supporting it, while conveiently being absent for the vote. There is no hope for America under the two party system.. Vote for the Constitution Party.

Answer 2

Get back to me...I'll have a better idea in December! But I have to say, the possibilities are enormous!!
