No, the father is George Herbert Walker Bush. The son is George Walker Bush. Close, but no cigar.

You're only a junior if the name is exactly the same.

Really? We start out discussing fascism, and end up debating whether W is a junior? No wonder our country is in such a mess.

The discussion just highlights how mushy the thinking on the left is when they think that calling Bush 43 a junior is an insult.

Yes, it is unusual for an American to have more than three names but not a crime. It could be a family thing or a way to keep peace in a family when the child is born. If you want to discuss names, how many Americans change their names. William Jefferson Blythe>>>Clinton, Marshall Bruce Mathers>>>Eminem, Chiam Witz>>>Gene Simmons, Barry Sotero>>>Barack Hussein Obama Jr.

Fascism is a fascinating thing (note, I didn't say good thing). It is dynamic and a problem solver. One problem is what do you do when the crisis is past, the problems solved, and the day has been saved? It takes a rare man (or woman) to step down from power. To quote King George III (George William Frederick) when he was told that George Washington was leaving his military post to avoid clashes with the Congress, "If he does that, then he is the greatest man in the world." George Washingtons don't come along very often.

In reality, there are only two types of governments that count. Those that can line you against the wall and shoot you, and those that can't.

In the 20th century, Countrys with the term 'socialist', 'communist', 'facist' 'islamic' and 'peoples' in the name will stand you against the wall if you disagree with their policies.

In the 21st Century, it's looking like the USA will be added to that list.
