Jim S. — Please enlighten us with “what’s really going on with the financial system”. I concede near total ignorance on the subject. But I’m a curious fellow my nature and I want to learn. Me proving a negative (my lack of understanding) does very little for humanity or our country. Please, “prove” that you know “what’s really going on with the financial system” and then I will humbly follow your lead in such matters.

All the ists and isms blurring together for you? See, this is the problem with the right, they think if they say something loud enough and often enough it must be true.

Ironically, the closest we’ve ever come in this country to fascism was under W.’s regime, but even though I couldn’t stand him, I wouldn’t try to label him as a fascist with a straight face. You, however, think if you slap enough exclamation points after it that it will make it so. Sad, really.
