Good point, GUEST. The cornerstone of facism is consolidation of power. Mix in nationalism and superpatriotism and, waalaa, nazis. Lots of folks here are not comfy with these basic concepts because they have been *conditioned* by the facists (those who wish to consolidate power) that comparing whats going on now to Germany in the 30's is somehow anti-American...

Well, I'm sure that Martin Luther King would remind us that knowledge and wisdom, when used to criticize out governemnt is going in the wrong direction it is out responsibility, from out "love of America", to speak up...

And, BTW, in consolidating power, there are always folks that are in the way and need to be either marginalized or removed.
