Our Leader.
"'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'" -1984, George Orwell
"Fascism should more properly be called Corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." -Benito Mussolini, father of Fascism
Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini (Predappio near Forlì, July 29, 1883 – Giulino di Mezzegra near Como, April 28, 1945) led Italy from 1922 to 1943. He created a fascist state through the use of state terror and propaganda. Using his charisma, total control of the media and intimidation of political rivals, he disassembled the existing democratic government system. -Wikipedia
Fascism- A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism. American Heritage Dictionary, 1983 Edition
My eyes are red and burning from reading about totalitarian governemnts and fascism. I found some Bill O'Reilly quotes amongst all the fracas. Bill thinks everything liberal is fascist. I don't think Bill knows what the word actually means.

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." -Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride
There's something that's happening in our country that disturbs me. Our country is changing into a large, hideous beast: brutish and thoughtless, fearful and violent. We want our safety and our SUV's, and we're willing to kill suspicious-looking people and relinquish our civil liberties to accomplish these goals and continue our consumptive patterns. We are starved for direction and leadership and follow anyone flashed in front of us by a dominant network. We are a fascist state now, asleep at the wheel, and we don't know any better, are unaware, and don't care.

Great, now I sound like Tyler Durden from Fight Club. I think Chuck Palahniuk gets fascism. Bill, not so much.
I called FOX News Network fascists yesterday and got called on it. In a way, they're not: they're more of a propaganda machine for a totalitarian regime. Okay, I'm kidding, they are fascists. I found a link that leads to other fun links regarding my theory that FOX is a bunch of fascist bastards. It seems that I wasn't the first one to imagine this as a feasible theory.
