The Rant

   Socialism means the abolition of private property.  The state ownership of the means of production.   We do not have socialism; but rather creeping fascism. The state is getting ever more involved in controlling businesses, even taking control in some instances.  Mussolini's corporate state.   But Fascism no longer refers to the real historical phenomenon. It has become an epithet to apply to anything you don't like, such as talk radio.  

More members of the Public Employees Party are calling for action to muzzle talk radio(pictured on the left).  Maurice Hinchey, a Democrat from New York, is the latest to call for the return of the "Fairness Doctrine."    He is joining Debbie Stabenow of Michegan and Tom Harkin of Iowa who want the Federal government to monitor political speech, just like in Mother Russia.  After all, we can't trust non members of the Government Party to say what the Government wants to be said, can we?  

Obama has selected the Joker as his new Commerce secretary. The Joker has apparently decided that what the world needs now is nearly a trillion dollars in increased spending on government programs. Is this a really a good idea?   Some people think not.     Which countries in the world have the most economic growth, those with small governments (Hong Kong?) or those with giant governments (North Korea)?
