#62: Jack, even if Bush was the malicious liar that you assume him to be, that doesn’t make him a fascist.
I think the only point of debate is the phone tapping that you mention (insofar as suggesting Bush has fascist policies). I’m not personally a big fan of this policy. I’d rather suffer the cost of freedom and keep the government out of our private life. However, you have to admit that you might consider the government to be negligent if certain Americans were communicating with known terrorists and the government knowingly ignored those calls because they want to protect their right to a private conversation.
