Fascism is a very serious Political Ideal developed to atone for the sins of the wealthy and powerful. Fascism also maintains the wealthy and powerful in their positions.

Too late.

Far left(correction- right), religious fundmental fasicm is alive and florishing here in America. A good subject for debate would be if Bush is involved in it.

George Bush is not far left. He is a conservative based Republican.

I think this particular administration's fascist routes aren't so much in the Christian right as it is in corporatism...more specifically in 'war corporatism'. Mussolini himself described fascism as corporatism.

This describes it well:
