"Obama has followed the fascist line"

"The real policy of Obama -- to have his image as ubiquitous in America as Stalin's in Russia or Mao's in China -- is working, but people still seem to question his infinite wisdom. It was clever to sit quietly while political thugs in Iran beat, arrested, tortured, and raped women. It was prudent to support a Leftist brute's effort to hold onto power in Honduras, despite his unsavory gang of allies or the constitutional decision by that nation's supreme court that he was breaking the law. It is smart thinking to sit down with Medvedev, presidential hand-puppet of Putin (Obama does read history -- right? -- does he know that the particular office in Russia means much less than who the strong man is? Of course he does! He's The Leader!)

Obama has followed the Fascist line, or, if you will, the Alinksy line, all the way: Action! Constant motion! Each day a new program! Each week a new Czar of something! He and Benito, who like him was a family loving pragmatist demagogue, see that everything must be brought in line. All must serve the state, and the state will care for them.

Our president has essentially given up on the rule of law and ordered liberty. He is no Hitler, no Stalin, and no Mao. He is, instead, very much a Mussolini. He will push business, labor, local governments, and other social institutions into the vague directions which seem best to him. He will make business do what it should (and he knows best) and he will create a bewildering array of grand and petite officers to watch this and regulate that.

We are almost there -- we have come so far! -- when members of Congress can vote on legislation which could be called the "Blank Check Bill" and when even the failures of his own party can be blamed, retroactively, on the failures of the party out of power, then we are close to that fairly tame totalitarianism, Fascism. When Obama can almost dictate the questions he will be asked in any forum, then we are near to having our Duce."
