Why should there be any doubt that the U.S. is now run by....
...a fascist demagogue George W. Bush with like minded fascistic puppet masters at all levels of the administration and congress in both national parties? This is a movement which has been going on for over 75 years. They plotted and nearly succeeded in the overthrow of FDR as the legitimate choice for president by the american people in 1936. This was the fascist political group, the American Liberty League. But FDR made it known in his state of the union address of 1936 that he would mobilize against all who threatened America's liberties and in fact did which is to this day all off-spring individuals and organizations and wanna-bees condemn FDR, liberals and the democratic party. Here is part of what FDR covered in the 1936 State of the Union address. Read the entire text and I think you will agree that most if not all of what FDR said could apply to our present situation in America.

President Roosevelt
1936 State of the Union Address
(3,832 words, 6 pages)

... Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives:

We are about to enter upon another year of the responsibility which the electorate of the United States has placed in our hands. Having come so far, it is fitting that we should pause to survey the ground which we have covered and the path which lies ahead.
<snip>
They steal the livery of great national constitutional ideals to serve discredited special interests. As guardians and trustees for great groups of individual stockholders they wrongfully seek to carry the property and the interests entrusted to them into the arena of partisan politics. They seek-this minority in business and industry--to control and often do control and use for their own purposes legitimate and highly honored business associations; they engage in vast propaganda to spread fear and discord among the people--they would "gang up" against the people's liberties.

The principle that they would instill into government if they succeed in seizing power is well shown by the principles which many of them have instilled into their own affairs: autocracy toward labor, toward stockholders, toward consumers, toward public sentiment. Autocrats in smaller things, they seek autocracy in bigger things. "By their fruits ye shall know them."

1. I am always suspicious of all these corporations who now use "Liberty" as
part of their name. Liberty Broadcasting, for ex.

4. Excuse??? Apparently you don't watch CSPAN and CSPAN II,.........
....very much, because the Democratic Senator and Democratic House Members verbally lay out the neocons on a fairly regular basis. If you get Comcast cable then it's on channels 22 and 25, try it, you might get a very pleasant surprise.
