I'm not arguing that, nor am I arguing the fact that the Bush family has definite fascist tendencies to their ideology. I just hesitate to use the word "Nazi" to describe them, since they don't really embrace Hitler's National Socialist idoelogy.

The main difference between America and Nazi Germany is that our government has realized the importance of creating the illusion of freedom. People really believe the government is in their hands, that they can make a difference. When something goes wrong, the government can blame the people for voting the wrong politicians into power. And the people will buy it, rally around some other politician, and the cycle continues. People start thinking there's no need to change the system, only the people running it. It's not the Bushes and Hitlers of the world that are screwing things up. It's the system which put these monsters into power.
