Ahh yes, another Bush is Hitler article by a left wing tenured intellectual... Notice how all the fault of this totalitarianism is from conservatives and big business - are we all to belive the democrats are so powerless after having run the country for a decade and had a very poular president, or that they dont partake in "big" money excess or are influenced by lobbyists? Note another point he makes, the idea that the democratic party has shifted to the right, just smacks as another lament from a whiney extreme left wing liberal still stuck in the 1960s KGB corrupted mindset.
