What do you think are the signs of creeping fascism? How about secret prisons? ( Guantanamo) Torture? (Abu Ghraib, waterboarding) Surveillance? (Just look around) Private military forces? (Blackwater) Suppression of dissent and labeling critics as unpatriotic? (all the time) Restriction of civil liberties? (Patriot Act etc.) Election fraud and disparities? (Ohio, Florida...hanging chads) Need for war? (Well, duh!) Enemies within and without? (Terrorists, sleeper cells, terrorists!)
