Can I call it "Fascism" yet?
In the past I have been ripped a new asshole for saying that the current government are fascists. What do you critics think now?

2. I don't see why we have to wait for them to overthrow any more countries,
take away any more of our civil or constitutional rights, or consolidate any more central power before we label them.

3. No asshole ripping here
If the bush administration does not reflect a fascist world view I don't know what does. Another indication is their supporters. Who is bush's base? Nazi's, klansmen, religiously insane supporters of the destruction of the constitution to be replaced by a theocracy, red state flag waving rednecks who have no concept of patriotism. Lets make it a catch-22 for you benburch; this veteran will rip you a new asshole if you don't call them fascists.

6. I left the country in 2000 because Bu*h was an unelected fascist dictator.
I called it fascism then, and I continue to call it fascism now.

7. Or get ripped for suggesting
that the only way out is revolution. It's easy to understand why fascism rippens so easily in America. Becomming a member of a cult prepares Americans for the willing takeover of their bodies.

10. I have been sprinkling "fascism" into my conversations.
Edited on Tue Aug-02-05 10:35 AM by IMModerate
It gets some of my friends upset. I reel off the reasons why it's fascism. The Bolton thing just got added to the list.

Don't wait until it becomes illegal to use the word fascism.
