[extropy-chat] so is America fascist yet?

[Samantha Atkins]

Agreed.  The evils we face in our government are not limited to 
Republicans or even to the Bush administration, evil as it is.   911 
and the way it was handled should be more than proof enough of a level 
of rotten evil for most people.    But the Clinton administration set 
up many of the power grabs and conditions that the Bush administration 
has built from.   I published this admittedly in your face although 
simplistic little piece to point out the dangerous trends rather than 
to cast simple partisan aspersions.   I am surprised that some think my 
doing so is a clear statement of where I stand politically.  I know 
people all over the political spectrum who are as deeply concerned as 
I.  So I hardly see what my personal political position has to do with 
it.
