You're right in that Bush is not Hitler. However, once power is given to a government it is extremely difficult to take it away. Our founding fathers knew this, and that's why they originally created such a limited federal government and included the right of the people to bear arms. Incidentally, the SS originally did all the things you say our dept of homeland security is in place to do - in fact, that's precisely why it was said to have been created.. All it takes is one "aspiring man" to gain control now, and who knows. Our descent is not nearly as fast as others have been in the past, but it's happening. And, no, it won't be as "evil" or bloody as those in the past. Our descent is of a new breed - one of government supported corporate pseudo-slavery.
Science fiction is just that - fiction - but it tends to always have a basis in truth. We didn't go to the moon by being shot out of a giant gun, but we did go to the moon. Likewise, our "1984" will be and is becoming much less overt and clear, but it's coming no less.
