The Identifying Characteristics Of Fascism
(Dr. Lawrence Britt, Free Inquiry Magazine, Spring 2003)
[Click on the above link to see explanations of the following characteristics:

The 14 Characteristics of Fascism are:
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
4. Supremacy of the Military
5. Rampant Sexism (Arnold Schwarzenegger comes to mind here.)
6. Controlled Mass Media
7. Obsession with National Security
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined.
9. Corporate Power is Protected
10. Labor Power is Suppressed
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
14. Fraudulent Elections

It seems to me that the good old USofA fits all 14.
