Well, rbj, it isn’t fascism, no matter what Jonah Goldberg says…

Amen! The problem is that we have only learned of this provision today. Given they plan on voting on it sometime this weekend – and the phone lines are all closed on the weekends – kinda hard to mount a strong defense. Well, I guess when those idiot libbers who voted these nimrods in to office find themselves faced with this decision – we’ll see how smart they feel then!

Yet we dare not call it fascism.

We need to get the word “REPEAL” to the top of our vocabulary list fast.

Well Casey, there is no one perfect definition of fascism, and the word has been abused by the Left against Reagan and Bush, but I will quote part of its definition from wikipedia:

“Fascists explicitly promoted their ideology as a “Third Position” between capitalism and communism.[130] Italian Fascism involved corporatism, a political system in which economy is collectively managed by employers, workers and state officials by formal mechanisms at national level.[131] Fascists advocated a new national multi-class economic system that is labeled as either national corporatism, national socialism or national syndicalism.[26] The common aim of all fascist movements was elimination of the autonomy or, in some cases, the existence of large-scale capitalism.[132]

Fascist governments exercised influence over the economy differently than that of communist-led states, in that individual private property was controlled but not nationalized.[133] Nevertheless, like the Soviet Union, fascist states pursued economic policies to strengthen state power and spread ideology, such as consolidating trade unions to be state or party-controlled.[134] ”

Forcing everyone to spend the fruits of their labor on a specific item is definitely strengthening government control over 1/6 of the national economy. Now, if there were only the state run National Health Service, that would be socialism. Fascism allows some private enterprise that is severely regulated.

Thus, I call this health care overhaul fascism. It may be Mussolini-lite fascism, (and is in no way Hitlerian fascism) but it is fascism.
