Time Machine?

Quick what decade are we in? What country is this?
An enemies list is being compiled by the Head Politician of a country
Brownshirts, the Politician's own handpicked thugs, are at rallies intimidating and brutalizing enemies of the regime.
The Head has nationalized several major segments of the economy
His allies want to close down all religious or private schools to keep an educational monopoly and teach only politically correct materials
His secular allies is ready to mount an all out attack on churches and religion
Bonus points if you name the Politician.
Quick. 10 points if you said Nazi Germany. 10 points if you said USA 2009.

It is rather difficult to distinguish between the two isnt it? Sad.
