You may recall [http://thepete.com/conservative-tells-the-truth/|my post from August 1, 2006] featuring a clip of Watergate figure John Dean on the Daily Show. He was on to talk about his new book
Conservatives Without a Conscience. In his book he delves into the idea that fascism could happen in the United States. Now, back on August 15, 2006, Dean was on Democracy Now also, to plug his new book, but he was able to go into a bit more detail with DN! host Amy Goodman. Check out the clip:
One thing that Dean said in this interview puzzled me. He said "Are we on the road to fascism? No. The problem is, we are very close to that." I'm not sure I see the difference. Am I just losing my mind or are more and more conservatives saying things like "The sky isn't blue, it's a color somewhere in between green and indigo." Of course, the real thing to be concerned with here is how Dean has uncovered scientific evidence that we have fascists running things in the United States Government. In the clip above he explains that with the Bush Administration we have "an imperial presidency on steroids." He goes on to explain how the White House is unchecked by Congress. Huh...
neat.
