I'm not sure if it is the president or if he is just
the front man for an oligarchy of power (how is that
for a buzz word).   I read a 14 point analysis of the
characteristics of fascism.  13 of them seemed to
apply to the current administration.  I'm not
intending this as an insult, it seemed to me the match
was so accurate that if I were a supporter of the
administration I would be thinking that maybe fascism
was not such a bad thing.  I just think it shows us
what is currently happening.
