When combined with strong nationalism it's also called Fascism. Now, I'm not naive enough to call this administration fascist because that wouldn't really accomplish anything. The thing I object to is the way that our country is moving because any step toward fascism is the wrong direction for our country.

The fear of another so-called "terrorist attack" has more power now than in previous manipulitive tactics, such as "The War On Drugs, Crime, Etc." These political tactics are often used against a so-called democratic society. Until the fascade of a "free democracy" is lifted, our nation will always be at risk for extortion.
