The End of America

Best-selling author Naomi Wolf (The Beauty Myth) makes a chilling case that American democracy is under threat
In a stunning indictment of sweeping policy changes during the Bush years, best-selling author Naomi Wolf (The Beauty Myth) makes a chilling case that American democracy is under threat. Investigating parallels between our current situation and the rise of dictators and fascism in once-free societies, Wolf uncovers a number of deeply unsettling similarities-from the use of paramilitary groups and secret prisons to the targeted suspension of the rule of law. With this galvanizing call to arms based on her recent book, she urges regular citizens to take back our legacy of freedom and justice.

While she makes lots of good insightful points, Bush is gone but it is the entrenched interests that created the possibility of Bush/Cheney: right wing media, think tanks, and spokepeople are still strong and have lots of support even on this site.

The greatest fear a nation has is economic collapse and the rise of a leader who is either incompetent or evil. Bush was incompetent, Obama is not, but the forces against him lost power, and they want it back at any cost.

The Philosophic Roots of Modern Ideology Liberalism, Communism, Fascism



Limbaugh spells it out perfectly. Rush, Newspeak and Fascism: An exegesis

Fourteen points of fascism and the last administration. White Papers



"The Corporation is established to develop the wealth, political power and welfare of the Italian people. Corporatism means a disciplined, and therefore a controlled, economy, since there can be no discipline which is not controlled. Corporatism overcomes Socialism as well as it does Liberalism: it creates a new synthesis." Mussolini

Less than zero proof ever existed or will ever exist to give twoofers anything to even provide them an air of legitimacy. My eyes are wide open.

How can you open your eyes with your head stuffed up your own ass? That's a neat trick, but then with a name like "candyCORN" you probably are a little loose down there

And now you'd have us believe that somehow all of the recent information about Bin Laden being killed by US Navy SEALS is false. I should take your word over that of my President.
Uh...no.

You assume that when people post informative links, that it is of their making, when in fact they are just passing along info they might find useful to most reasonable people..you aren't included in that reference. Oh and you're soooo right, we should always believe the president cause he never ever lies, in fact no one who ever held that office has ever lied...right?
Never mind that they have made a laughing stock of themselves and stupid fucks like you, by having to change the story upteen times and used fake photos that only an idiot wouldn't see was faked!
Reasonable people have every reason and every fucking right to question a farce like the FAKE OBL death, and to question known proven lying treasonous fucks that occupy the leadership positions in our government, you pathetic troll.
Now run along, nobody believes what you have to say Candyhotroll, you and your sources are proven to be full of shit and have been caught lying too many times to count.

what else do you expect from a paid lying zionest shill?

He loves to show off what an idiot he is to the world and it doesnt bother him at all is whats amazing.Despite the many people that have come on here who have called him out proving what an idiot he is,it all goes through one ear and out the other to the biggest dumbfuck troll to ever grace a message board.

The party goverment does not work ! All they do is fight over their own party's views and how much bonus money they will get to put in their own pockets and what they can do for the rich, and how they can help the people overseas !!!!!!! The hell with the American, born and raised here !!!!! We have childern living right here on the street ! What about the small family farmer(who was the backbone of the United States), many lose there farm everyday here and the american goverment turn thier heads and look away ! That makes the unemployment rate go up and takes money out of the U.S. . Does the goverment really think spending millions of dollars to fight a war on drugs is working???? From what i've seen it's not ! It's just causing a bigger problem, it's caused hard drug users and filled our jails so full we cann't put real criminals behind bars now. With what the goverment spends on the drug war they could greatly cut the det the U.S. is in !!!! The United States has fallen behind in medicine,technogy,education, and other things that we were the leaders in. It's really sad you have to leave the country to get a medical treatment from a 3rd world country, and when you come back home you know more the the american doctors do!(I just did that with a adult stem cell treatment in Costa Rica,and now my heart doctor here in the United States doesn't know how to treat me anymore!) Our 4 farthers are turning over in the graves in shame,because of what the American goverment has become!!!!!! Because the goverment they set up was for the AMERICAN PEOPLE !!!!!!!! It's time the goverment gets back to what it was set up to be !!!!! Governor Jessy was right in what he said and did ! And Obama is an two face stupid idot, and needs to learn how to keep his word and how to stand behind only one view!!!! He needs to solve our problems and help us before he can help and solve the problems of the world, if he wants to have a chance to succeed in it !!!!!!!!!

well said,dont expect Obama to do any of those things you mentioned though.We have a corrupt two party system of reprocrats and demopublicans,every president that gets into office is always worse than the previous one and until the american people got off their asses and take their country back and get a third party president in office who is for the people,things will never change and we will continue to have this corrupt two party system of republicrats and demopublicans running the country.

you so much hit the nail on the head that are forefathers would be rolling in their graves right now if they were alive today and saw how the american people have let the elite take over our country like they have and made it a government for the corporations instead of a government for the people the way it is SUPPOSE to be.

The greatest fear a nation has is economic collapse and the rise of a leader who is either incompetent or evil. Bush was incompetent, Obama is not, but the forces against him lost power, and they want it back at any cost.

I will agree that Bush was not competent in keeping the interest of the country secure in economic and security terms. This by his own pre-election rhetoric which promised a humble presidency with plenty of bi-partisan cooperation.

As a reality check, though, the Big 0 is the worst President I've ever seen in those categories which he, too, alluded to often. Even the most ardent lover of the Big 0 has to be impressed with the way he has gotten every thing he has asked for to accomplish his plan and has failed to produce economic growth and national security.

He is selectively enforcing the laws he likes and ignoring the ones he does not and is actively working to advance his party over any national goal while undermining our national respect abroad.

He obviously does not understand how to make the economy start to improve and has accepted that the 10% unemployment is the new normal and the duty of the 90% who work is to support the 10% who don't.

That is one possibility.

Another possibility is that he does understand how the economy works, is actively blocking progress to create and maintain a permanent needy class and is brilliantly and diabolically shaping a future of wealth redistribution as a standard method of life.

Judging only by the results, he's either an incompetent boob or a brilliant swindler.

Which one do you judge him to be?

obama understands !
