You should study fascism more closely, looking more at Mussolini less at Hitler.
Any libertarian instinct Bush may have had has been thoroughly corrupted by his Neo-Conservative associates. The Homeland Security nonsense shows faith in the State not faith in the individual, a good indicator of fascistic not libertarian thinking. He is apparently bi-polar, thinking the state bureaucrats can do everything to keep us safe from enemies real and imagined and thinking state bureaucrats can't do anything at all in other areas.
The appalling nationalism Bush came into power wrapped in and has exploited to fight his war is a good indicator of a fascistic heart not a libertarian one.
The combination of state and business disguised as privatization but actually state supported monopoly shows a mind sickened by State power not one enlivened by a dedication to a free market.
A true fascist, maybe not. A true libertarian, absolutely not.
