Anyone not see how the George W. Bush administration meets fascism's
definitions when using Dr. Lawrence Britt's 14 characteristics of Fascism?

"Fascism Anyone? : The 14 characteristics of Fascism"
by Dr. Lawrence Britt 2003

It isn't totalitarian, but getting very near imo. It meets all these points.

What do you think?

a salient characteristic I've heard numerous times includes the intertwining of business, government, and religion. More particularly, big business really running the government, and doing so under religious auspices.
