# Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

# Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

# Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

# Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

# Rampant Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

# Controlled Mass Media
Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

# Obsession with National Security
Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

# Religion and Government are Intertwined
Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

# Corporate Power is Protected
The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

# Labor Power is Suppressed
Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed .

# Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

# Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

# Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

# Fraudulent Elections
Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

THERE IS NOT ONE OF THESE THAT DOES NOT REPRESENT OUR CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.....IMPEACH OR CONTINUE TO WATCH "FASCIST CREEP" TAKE OVER OUR COUNTRY.

I've read most of the comments and agree with just about everything said. The thought that I would like to add is that they've betrayed a nation and have created a LESS perfect union, negating many of the positive steps taken by previous administrations--all in the name of ideology and greed.

Al Ainsworth, Portland, Oregon

Sorry I haven't got enough time in the day to list all the reasons these pigs should be hanging from a gallows. So I'll just say - ALL of the above!

The most pressing reason for impeachment is in need to investigate the crimes of the Bush administration. Bush and Cheney have taken every possible step to avoid exposure of the sins of their administration.

We need complete information regarding the damage that this administration has done to our democracy, and our institutions of government.

Without complete information, it will be impossible for any future administration, Democratic or Republican, to rebuild a credible and functioning government.

Without complete information, it will be impossible to take all possible steps to prevent future administrations, Democratic and Republican, from similar abuses of power.

Without impeachment, there will be no investigation.

Impeach them now.

1. Failure to uphold his oath of office to defend and protect The Constitution.

2. Violation of The RICO Laws. Bush, Cheney, Gonzales and others conspired to politicize the DOJ for personal gain and profit.

3. Knowingly lying to Congress, The UN, and The American People about Iraq.

4. Illegal Wiretaps

5. Bypassing the Constitution by Illegaly challenging and changing laws through the use of signing statements.

6. Criminal Neglect before and after Katrina, resulting in death.

7. Authorizing Torture

8. Numerous violations of the Hatch Act by this administration.

9. Suspension of Habeus Corpus and the holding of political prisoners.

10. Authorizing the Kidnapping of foreign nationals in other countries.

1. Conspiracy to Subvert the U.S. Constitution [cases 1-1,000.................]

2. Conspiracy to Defraud the Electorate [Caging, EVM-Rigging, DOJ Politicization, Back-room
Supreme Court Interference, Campaign Slander]

3. Conspiracy to Commit Domestic Terrorism [911, Anthrax]

4. Conspiracy to Commit Mass Murder [911, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran]

5. Theft of the US Treasury and the American Consumer [Deceptive Public Reporting and
Public-Policy Misrepresentations and Inordinate Taxing Policy Benefiting major
Donors to Bush/Cheney/RNC campaigns]

6. Conspiracy to Collude with the PRESS and Elite Public Media Entities to Deceive
the Public [Too much to list]

7. Perjury [top 10 Public Lies from the Oval Office: "Islamic Terrorists Struck US",
"No Child", "Clear Skies", "Healthy Forests", "Free Market", "Democracy",
"They Hate us for our Freedoms", "Saddam has WMD's", "We will Rebuild New Orleans"
and, "Mission Accomplished"]

8. Collusion with US/International Corporations to Fix Market Prices [Oil, Gas and
Electric Rates, Pharmaceutical Industry, EPA, USDA, FDA, DOA, INS, Tax Policy]

9. Obstruction of Justice [Withholding Evidence, Destroying Evidence, Stonewalling
Investigations, Mis-Leading Investigators, Politicization of DOJ, Refusals to
Comply with Congressional Oversight]

10. Treason [The highest Criminal Abuses of the High Office of President/Vice
President in US History, resulting in upwards of 1,000,000 deaths to innocent
People, International War-Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity, Environmental, Health,
Wage, Immigration, Infrastructural Criminal Neglect, Incessant Official Lies,
Subversion of CIA, FBI, NSA, DOD, FAA, NIST, NASA, Conflict of Interest, and
Conspiracy to Destroy American Assets and Freedoms]

The source of this rumor, which has been going on since 1989, is the Washington Times Newspaper, a mouthpiece for the Rev. Sun Myung Moon. According to Wikipedia, it has been shown by a grand jury to be a hoax.

It seems to me there would be no reason to perpetuate this hoax except for ignorance, or somebody making money (as someone writing a book about it, etc.)

I almost fell for it myself after reading it in the list of ten reasons Marty Weiss sent, but when I asked a knowledgeable friend, he said to question anything written in the Washigton Times; so I did further research.

A portion of the Wikipedia article follows.

Marian

From Wikipedia, "Franklin coverup":

The Franklin Coverup Hoax began on June 29, 1989, when the front page of the Washington Times bore the headline Homosexual Prostitution Inquiry ensnares VIPs with Reagan, Bush, and officially ended when a grand jury concluded that the charges were a "carefully crafted hoax", although the story still feeds conspiracy theories to the present day. The article, by Washington Times journalists Paul M. Rodriguez and George Archibald, alleged that key officials of the Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush administrations were connected to an elaborate Washington, D.C male prostitution ring, and reported that two of these prostitutes even entered the White House late at night. The allegations included, among other things, "abduction and use of minors for sexual perversion."

-more-

1. Direct violation of the oath of office...
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Take your pick of amendments that this administration has violated - this is a list of each amendment that this admin. has outright trampled: # 1 - anyone that speaks up against the white house is considered to be an enemy. #s 5 - 8 directly relate to the treatment of the prisoners at Gitmo and anywhere else that the media won't tell us about. #10 would be the one that covers the attack via election rhetoric attempting to ban gay marriages nationwide and not allowing states to decide the issue individually. # 15 is the one that was violated in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004. In both election cycles, if the African-Americans were not impeded or prevented from voting or subject to standing line for 6 - 11 hours, do you really believe that our 6 year nightmare would be taking place?

2. Though our media doesn't seem to agree, it is my belief that the outing of a covert C.I.A. agent's identity and exposing the remaining agents, in that operation, to grave danger in the U.S. and abroad, should reach the level of not only impeachment, but also warrant lengthy jail time.

3. Falsification of intelligence to go to war. It should enrage every American that the administration went so far as to lie to Congress, the United Nations, every American and the World, in order to attack a nation that DID NOT PLAN OR PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENTS THAT OCCURRED ON 9/11/01! Though Saddam Hussein deserved his eventual punishment, Osama Bin Laden was as much or more of an ememy to him as George Bush!

4. Collusion! Why do you think Dick Cheney doesn't want anyone to know who attended his energy meeting in 2001? The intended result of that meeting is what we as regular (non-billionaire) Americans are enduring. The oil companies control the supply even more than before, and now we are and will be paying severe consequences until another administration corrects that the problem.

5. War profiteering. This country has gone from a time during WW II where a president did everything possible to prevent the types of things that our current president is doing. If nothing else I want Bush and Cheney to be brought to justice for profitting off of the deaths, mutilation, and overall suffering that are a direct result of the OCCUPATION in Iraq.

6. Deriliction of the duty of office. The current administration has intentionally turned our government into a dysfuntional entity. When you appoint or nominate people like Michael Brown, Donald Rumsfeld, John Bolton, Samuel Alito, John Roberts, Alberto Gonzales, Harriet Meirs, and the list goes on... Though the president likes to play Gomer Pyle on television, you don't reach the level of incompetence that they have achieved on accident. How do you destroy the government you don't want? (the type government that yields surpluses after years of extreme deficits. the type of economy that is good for ALL Americans on ALL Levels. The kind of gov't that Bill Clinton promoted.) The only way to destroy that type of thriving democracy is to do it from the inside, like giving cancer to someone who was the picture of perfect health.

7. September 11, 2001. How convenient was it that President Bush happened to be on the longest vacation that any American President had ever taken before or since? What a coincidence it was that George Bush happened to be in the state where his brother is Govenor, on the day that America has the most catastrophic event occur. Gee, even though the NSA and other intelligence agencies were warning the president of a possible plot to do exactly what occurred, the administration had the audacity to send Condi "liar" Rice before Congress to deny any knowledge of possible attacks. Wasn't it convenient that George Bush allowed all of Osama Bin Laden's relatives to leave the U.S. before speaking to the F.B.I. or C.I.A. By the way, they left AFTER all other civilian and commercial air traffic had been grounded. Why is Osama Bin Laden still alive? Why was the debris (CRITICAL EVIDENCE) from the World Trade Center sent immediately out of the country?

Richard Nixon resigned because he knew that he would have been impeached and eventually convicted.

George Bush and Richard Cheney should be impeached, convicted, and imprisoned. Even if they are not removed from office within the next 18 months, I believe that they should still eventually be brought to justice. I really don't think they should be allowed to walk away from everything that they have done as BILLIONAIRES!!!!

George Bush has run this country in a similar fashion as one of his good buddies from Texas... I know you remember a fella by the name of Ken Lay, the man behind Enron....

There's so many reasons to impeach that it's hard to come up with a top ten.

So, instead, I tried thinking of a reason any reason that we should allow them to stay in office.

I can think of none.

We need to get our politician to follow the law that governs the government.....some follow up reading:

"We Must Return to Our Constitution" - click here

1. Liars
2. Hypocrites
