Slow March Toward Fascism/Theocracy?

Just read a very interesting article by Bill Berkowitz at Working For Change that discusses the parallels between the slow rise of Nazism in Germany in the early 20th century and compares it to the slow rise of Theocracy we're seeing in the United States today.

It's definitely a good read, and will provoke many thoughts about how this current administration is behaving as it puts into place anti-democratic policies such as the PATRIOT Act, the removal of citizen review of environmental issues, and the move toward government endorsement of Christianity as a state religion.

Compare this with the 14 Points of Fascism that I called attention to back in January, and it gets pretty darned scary. When will America wake up and see what's happening?
