No, No, No. Fascism is Authoritarian. Extreme capitalism is libertarian. WE believe in pure free market economy. This is the opposite of communism. In fascist and communist governments the government controls everything. In a libertarian one it controls nothing.
The founding fathers of the United States hoped to create a brief but neccessary list of powers that the Federal government could have. They did not strive to create a list of the things that the federal government couldnt do, but things that it could do. So even if the Patriot Act wasnt specifically in violation of the bill of rights, it would still be an absurb violation of the intentions of the founding fathers. A majority of the things that our government does today are unconstintutional abuses of the "elastic" and "Neccessary and Proper" clauses of the constitution. If the constituion does not specifically grant the government a power, and it is not reasonably believable that their actions are neccessary to support a power that they are granted, then their actions are inconstitutional. Public Education, etc...
