When the socialist label just won't do...reach for the fascist one !
Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.

is it really a reach?
fascism - a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
obviously the dictator part doesn't match and we could go on and on about racism, but the rest seems to fit rather nicely with the obama administration.

"Having complete power?" "Forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism?" "Regimenting all industry?" "Emphasizing an aggressive nationalism?"
What in the smurf are you talking about?

"Aggressive nationalism?
"Regimenting" commerce?
"forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism"?
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me.

If it really is fascism, what are you planning on doing about it ? Post angrily on the interwebs ?

I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

Just to let you know, I notified the FBI about all y'all. By tomorrow MiniThink will be just me and Nox.
That is until the CIA slips a little something into my tea.

Brigid O'Shaughnessy: I haven't lived a good life. I've been bad, worse than you could know.
Sam Spade: You know, that's good, because if you actually were as innocent as you pretend to be, we'd never get anywhere.
