Ok, start off with Fascism. It is a mistake to say Bush this and Bush that. The American government has been becoming more fascistic every year for at least that last 24 years. Though it seems to have come to a peak in the last 4.
The basics of Fascism:
1. People are stupid, stupid sheep, with few exceptions
2. It is those people's privilage and duty to rule the others.
3. Everything is done, not for individuals, but the glory of the group(generally the nation-state)
4. Nazi
And from these come the main methods of control,
*Use Heroes and Villains. EG Axis of Evil
*Find a scapegoat to get the people riled up, EG Afganistan and especially Iraq.
And I would go on, but I really have to go, so I will have to come back later ^ ^;;
