It looks like George Bush might have studied these ten simple steps for subverting democracy as, to some degree, his administration has been practicing them.

It is obviously an exaggeration to claim that Bush is turning this into a fascist state, but for those of us concerned with the need to limit the power of government to preserve liberty, many of these actions are alarming. It is especially disappointing that most of the extremist neocon conservatives, who claim to distrust the power of government, but time and recent history has proven them to be hypocrites and lars of the first degree, can safely be predicted to respond to this blog with support for Bush’s policies. The fact that approximately thirty percent of the country continues to approve of George Bush, and so many in the extremist neocon conservative media and blogosphere defend him, shows how precarious democracy is to them. What hypocrites! Ughhhhhhhhh!
