American Fascists

It is becoming clear that many influential members of the Democrat party (not democratic) are not really Democrats, but really fascists. Yes, fascists. The type of government bureaucrat that believes the state should govern profits and ultimately control all production. Senators Waters and Dodd are two primary examples. Sen. Waters actually threatened oil executives during the last inquisition (I mean hearing) and Sen. Dodd went on CNBC saying much the same thing.

This sounds well and good in the Utopian fascists world. However, when it comes to increasing supply and lowering price, rhetoric will do nothing to alleviate the problem. Populist pandering is a very effective tool during an election cycle, but as people soon find out (after the re-election) it does nothing to help the problem.

When prominent Senators call for nationalization and confiscating profits all citizens should be worried. Your industry will be next. If politicians get away with it in one industry, they will not stop there. These "progressives" as they are wanting to be known now are really old school fascists in the same tradition of some of history's most brutal leaders.
