Liked your "fade out" ending. The correct name for an economic system in which individuals retain nominal title to the means of production but the government controls most of the output is "fascism". That's the term that gets abused, a lot. Most of the public voted for socialism, just as they did in Nazi Germany, just as they do in Europe today. They will never know the glory that could have been, had they chosen true freedom. If Obama were a voodoo priest, he would sacrifice a chicken on the White House lawn. That would be "doing something". At least it wouldn't do much harm, except to the chicken. Unfortunately, he is a politician, so he will spend money not rightly his to benefit a few cronies at the expense of the public and the few survivors of the next generation who manage to escape the abortion mills.

Wrong by a mile. Fascism is a partnership between a nationalistic, militaristic, bigoted government and big business at the expense of the people. That ended on January 20. The only "chicken on the White House lawn" went home that day. The money IS rightfully Obama's because he won the election. And there are no "abortion mills," only women's reproductive health centers, where abortion is a tiny minority of the procedures done. Hopefully, we'll soon be able to say that opinions like yours are not just a despised minority, as they are now, but a tiny majority.

You're dumber than a box of rocks.

Fascism is a partnership between a nationalistic, militaristic, bigoted government and big business at the expense of the people, such as with GM and anyone else 0 and his commie cronies are nationalizing. This accelerated on January 20. The only 'chicken on the White House lawn' is 0bama the cheese-eating surrender monkey who even the FRENCH are wishing would grow a spine. The money IS rightfully inflating at horrendous rates because he ordered the fed to print a whole lot of it into existence out of thin air. There are lots of "abortion mills," where millions of babies are murdered in cold blood by leftist sociopaths and "women's reproductive health centers" is a fine euphemism for genocide, just as "liquidating Jewish units" was. Abortion is a huge percentage of the procedures done there and the source of the vast majority of those murderous neo-fascists' income. Hopefully, we'll soon be able to say that opinions like Patrick's are not just an under-represented small majority, as they are now, but huge majority--as soon as this tyrant's oppressive regime is overthrown and his idiot supporters flee back to Kenya with him.
