How is Today's America like Nazi Germany?

Here's a quick, to-the-point set of leads for you, if you have any doubts as to the seriousness of today's problem:

"

• lack of real political opposition (weak Weimar government--weak Democratic Party)
• consolidation of massive amounts of power without a clear mandate from the people (1932 election - 2000 election)
• usurpation of leftist terminology to further a RW agenda (national socialism - compassionate conservatism)
• the use of propaganda (Goebbels - Rove, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, FoxNews, CNN)
• hatred of the French
• an appeasing British Prime Minister (Chamberlain - Blair)
• contempt for the international community (Hitler ignores the Treaty of Versailles - Bush ignores the ABM treaty and U.N. treaties on global warming, the international criminal court, landmines, chemical and biological weapons)
• hatred directed at leftists and other groups in opposition to the government (communists - war protesters)
• hatred directed at minority groups (Jews - Arabs)
• weapons of mass destruction cited as a reason to invade other countries (Hitler claims that Poland could use poison gas against Germany - Bush claims Saddam Hussein could use poison gas against the U.S.)
• a terrorist attack on the country as the final catalyst for fascism (Reichstag fire - 9/11 attacks)
• the merging of big business with government (Krupps - Halliburton)
• extreme nationalism (Nazi flags everywhere - American flags everywhere)
• a culture that emphasizes the physical over the intellectual (Aryan *supermen* - American redneckism)
• leader worship (Hitler as Der Fuhrer - Bush as God's child)
• the creation of an internal security department (Gestapo - Department of Homeland Security)
• massive build-up of military and police forces (paramilitary SS dressed in black - paramilitary cops dressed in black)
• the use *lightning* warfare (blitzkrieg - shock and awe)
• easy military victories setting the stage for other conquests (Sudentenland - Poland and France, Iraq - Syria and Iran)
• eventual disastrous conflict with the Russians (WWII - Armageddon?)
