Reply #9: Let's call "total control" by its better known name TOTALITARIANISM

[HereSince1628]

This is what we are up against. It is the same one-party control that existed in all those terrible enemies we despised, cursed and openly fought during the cold-war and WWII. .

Totalitarianism can occur on the right or the left. It's tyranny disguised as Republic.

We needn't call Bush a Nazi or a Fascist. He is a REPUBLICAN, it's enough to name him what he claims he is. The Unitary Executive, leader of a party captured by a renegade totalitarian movement that has openly sought to achieve total control of all the institutions of US government and to maintain that control for posterity. Only briefly have they had a semblance of total control of the offices, lobbying money, and media, and they have already thoroughly corrupted themselves and our Constitutional government.

The awful lesson of the past 4 centuries is that totalitarianism being total control, is not easy to overcome. It is a common pitfall of nations casting off the tyranny of monarchy. Our nation avoided this pitfall that was suffered by so many democratic movements through the notion of a balance of power, and guaranteed freedoms that insure opposition has a voice and minorities can seek justice.

Cheney has destroyed these things, and his rubber-stamping party members are establishing their capitalist dictatorship of the robber barons. We are in the pit of totalitarianism, and we must reject digging deeper and deeper until we cannot escape.

We MUST restore what the Founders intended as an heirloom to be protected, improved, and passed to the future. We must do it. NOW.
