Many have warned of creeping fascism since the establishment of the Bush administration. The fascists are constantly looking for toeholds to sneak over the bulwarks of our democracy. Here's one sneaky move to give the military more power and give the federal government more control over state governments. Fascism is essentially a military dictatorship. It would never happen suddenly here in the US as a coup like it has occurred in less established democracies. Instead, it creeps up on the inattentive masses and establishes new tentacles that reach out and strangle slowly so as not to arouse attention. Please recall that Bush ran on a platform of strengthening states rights but look at his record. Bush and The Fascists are trying an end move masked as a response to regional or national disasters and emergencies using the active military. This would be the first step in phasing out state National Guard units while expanding the role of active military to include civil affairs. Governor Brian Schweitzer of Montana is all over it.
