Thanks rmnunez. I will consider your points.

Also, it's agreed that the level of Bush in uniform is not representative of typical Fascists states. But it could be that the constant propaganda of discussing the war in Iraq, though no longer Afghanistan, and the constant discussion of Democrats v Republicans, by the media as the focus since 2001, might be a replacement to the traditional view of 'the Leader'.

I am worried, on a very personal level, that my government may allow fascism, and am exploring those possibilities.

Thank you again for your well phrased response. Especially towards states' power... somehow I hadn't thought of them.

And, I believed it once that no threat should ever allow for the reduction in liberty, temporarily or not, and any government that would do so should be overthrown as a coup.
