Yes, you are absoultely right. Congress passes the laws and the president signs them into law on advice of many parties. However, no matter how smart some slashdotters THINK they are, apparently they must've been re-running their favorite Star Trek moments from memory. Stick to coding and gaming, the adults will do the rest...
Comme toujours quelques choses ne changent jamais!
MS is making a big mistake with SAaS offerings. I buy it, I own it (in an everyman's fantasy). They talked me into having my own servers to run a business and now I'm gonna want to use theirs! Get real Microsoft.
Where does this 'theocracy' idea you claim come from? I don't recall that bit of legislation being passed or even suggested. As for my 'tactic' it must've worked because now I can make even a supposedly 'centrist' froth at the mouth with a simple reply.
Thanks, I'll tell all the folks at synagogue this week that we'll have to be immigrating to Israel because you decreed the christians want their country back. Then I'll tell my friend Hafeez that he's won the war on America by default...
Seriously though, leftism ALWAYS tries to deem their opposition as insane, when in fact we neocons consider them to be a thinking people regardless of the dangerous ideas they espouse.
Apparently not big enough at the time for a previous administration to do anything except have feel-good diplomatic talks. My memory serves that it wasn't until after they blew up those precious antiquities that there was any impetus to do anything but warn of 'harsh repercussions". (whatever that means?)
Bullies only know force when it potentially affects their very lives. Tripping through the '90's with UN resolutions and no teeth can't make the world a better place for anyone (unless of course you have a limo in New York with diplomatic plates)!
Since I am a NEO Con, I wasn't around when Mohammad governed, but if the taliban are regarded as islamo-fascists then you have your definition. I always found it obscene that all the NPR leftist-types went wild over the taliban blowing up those 'graven' images on the mountainside (arts, antiquities and all). Yet they didn't see a great deal of harm to the women who were treated worse then the livestock. They never even said 'BOO' over the stoning of homosexuals and adulterers
So yes, you are correct that fascists are (present-tense) totalitarian in nature, They truly devalue humanity in every way possible. They control the economy not by the means of production, but through over-regulation. (Democrats, hear me now.) America the nanny-state is quickly turning pseudo-fascist only via regulation, and/or social pressure groups.
International wiretapping is no big deal, after all our allies do a great job monitoring our external & internal stuff for us since WW2. We do the same for them. If you want privacy use encryption -or- a courier!

It's hard not to be evil when you have shareholders (and a private party plane)

No...We stole it right from under your nose(s).
We gave up the silly notion of only taking arms and kidneys after we realized we already have your ass!
