"While far from a dictatorship, the United States has employed a number of paranoid tactics that delegitimize its democracy (http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/paranoia-has-undermined-united-states-claim-to-liberal-democracy-a-932326.html). And the motivation for doing so is — fear. That seems to be a long way from 'So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself: nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. And I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.' Where is the U.S. heading?"
Not a Dictatorship, but certainly a Facist Police State. The author didnt seem to understand the difference on that one because we are getting farther and farther from Freedom and the very principles of a Republic.
