When Words Lose Meaning.
The hand-painted signs at the entrance to a small liberal-arts college that I drove near read "Bush is a fascist." Doubtless it is replicated many times throughout the country.

Of course, Bush is sometimes compared to Nazis, including the number one Nazi himself.

If we ever had a real fascist in power, we'd have to invent a new word to describe him.

"Justice Louis D. Brandeis'?s metaphor of the states as "laboratories" for policy experiments ... had almost nothing to do with federalism and everything to do with his commitment to scientific socialism. .... To this day, it continues to inhibit a truly experimental, federalist politics." -- Michael S. Greve
