THE WORD THAT CAN SAVE AMERICA

On election day, November 4^th, the Dow was above 9,000.  It is now headed below 7,000.  Do you think this would be happening if John McCain had won instead?

For all his plentiful and infuriating faults, McCain promised to slash capital gains taxes, allow full expensing for capital expenditures of business, expedite offshore oil and gas drilling, be friendly to critical energy providers like coal, be unfriendly to anti-business government regulators – in short, in many crucial ways, be the pro-capitalist opposite of his anti-capitalist opponent.

There is simply no way the markets would be falling off a cliff and into a depression abyss had McCain won.  That they are now means markets are pricing in the anti-capitalist catastrophe Zero (aka NMP) will inflict on the US economy.

There is a word that could prevent this.

It is a word that terrifies the Democrats and their friends in the media and academia more than any other.  You can use any other word against them and they could care less.  When McCain condemned Zero and his economic plan in the waning days of the campaign as "socialist," all he got was smirks and shrugs in return.

But use this word, and back it up with real history, real facts, real examples, and real explanations, and they freak out in rage, fear, and panic.  They run from it like the Devil does from the Cross.

It's the word that can save America.  The word is…

Fascist.

It is disturbingly ironic that I wrote Democratic Fascism three years to the day before America elected Zero (November 4, 2005).  It explained that:

Just as there can be a Socialist Democracy, so there can be a Fascist Democracy, in which a people's freedom is not taken away from them by dictatorial force, but is voluntarily surrendered.

Just as a socialist government can be an unelected dictatorship (like Cuba) or a freely elected democracy (like Sweden), so can a fascist government. Democratic fascism, or a fascist democracy is no more of an oxymoron than democratic socialism or a socialist democracy. Instead, it is the most accurate description of what America's political system has become.

This did not happen overnight. By a patient strategy of what I call Fabian Fascism taking many years, the American people have been persuaded, unwittingly and almost unconsciously, to voluntarily give up their Constitutional freedoms.

I said back then that it was going to get worse, but it seems quaint that three years ago I had no idea how much worse, that I thought the greatest threat to what's left of our freedom would be Mrs. Clinton in the White House rather than a then-inconceivable Hate America Zero.

Yet a frontal assault on him right now would be less than useless.  (Which is why, by the way, all these lawsuits regarding his birth certificate are almost certainly to go nowhere.  Facts and evidence mean nothing to a mass hysteria of cult-worship.)  No, we're stuck with Zero until 2012.  Better to launch on assault on the enemy's flank, and focus on 2010.

Which means the Democrats in Congress.  Their leadership, the majority of their members, and the legislation and regulation they intend to shove down America's throat is fascist.  The only salvation we have is if Republicans begin saying so.

The latest proof of a fascist majority among Democrats in Congress is their election yesterday (11/20) by a vote of 137-122 for Henry Waxman to replace John Dingell as chairman of the House Energy & Commerce Committee.  It is no exaggeration of any kind to label Waxman a fascist.  That's what he is, straightforward and unadorned.  And Mike Pence should say so.

Pence is now #3 in the GOP House leadership (behind John Boehner and Eric Cantor), young (49), telegenic, articulate, a real Reagan Republican with a ramrod spine and no patience or respect for RINOs pleading for "moderation" and a "move to the center."

That kind of talk makes him sick.  Still, it's a question:  does he have the moxie to use the F-word against the Dems?  Those who doubt him point to such travesties as his vote to take $48 billion from Americans and spend it on AIDS in Africa.

It won't have much impact if GOP back-benchers start using the F-word.  But if Pence does, and he can persuade Boehner and Cantor to do the same, that's very different.  The only hope, for example, to stop the Dems from passing "Card Check" is for it to be denounced by Pence et al as fascist, explicitly.

Denying workers a right to a secret ballot on whether they want to join a union or not is overtly fascist, making workers clearly vulnerable to physical intimidation by union goons.   

The same goes for the Dems passing the so-called Fairness Doctrine.  It should be labeled the Fascist Doctrine – for if it were, the House GOP would have a chance of blocking it.

That's just the warm-up, though.  The real immediate dangers are Zero's reinstatement of HillaryCare – let's call it ZeroCare – and Waxman's destruction of the entire US energy industry.

ZeroCare, just like HillaryCare, is not "socialist medicine," – it is fascist medicine.  And when it is proposed in the new 111^th Congress by Teddy Kennedy as "Universal Health Care" that's what it should be labeled.  As Democratic Fascism explained three years ago:

Intellectually, fascism is far more dishonest than socialism, which at least has the courage to assert legal ownership of the economy and thus assume legal responsibility for its functioning. Fascism places responsibility for the economy on business which is rendered Potemkinly private, a Hollywood set façade of private ownership.

Hillary did not want to nationalize hospitals and make doctors employees of the state. That would be socialism. She wanted seize control, not ownership, of America's health care system, for her bureaucrats to be in charge, but not be responsible. See the difference, the fascist difference?

Waxman is set to wage outright war upon the coal industry which supplies over 50% of all electricity in the US. That's for starters. The list of fascist outrages he has perpetrated or attempted to in his 33 years in Congress is incredibly long and varied, intruding into virtually every aspect of our lives.  (His constant attempts over decades to destroy the dietary supplement industry, responsible for improving the health of hundreds of millions of Americans, is just one example.  There are innumerable others.)

Waxman will use every possible pro-fascist interpretation of every piece of fascist environmental legislation there is to eliminate, restrict, or control energy production.  In his new position, he can do more damage to our economy and way of life than anyone else save for Zero himself.

Unless Mike Pence and the Republican leadership explain to the American people relentlessly and repeatedly why and how he is a fascist.

The label of Fascist has to be burned and branded into the forehead of the Democrat Party.

It must be the job of Pence & Co. to explain why the Democrat Party is the Party of Fascism – for it is the party of government control over people's lives.  And to explain why the new, revitalized, returned-to-its-Reagan-roots Republican Party is the Party of Freedom – the party of less government control over people's lives.

What can you do to help in this regard?  The best place to start is to buy a book:  Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg.  It explains in revelatory historical detail how fascism is a political philosophy of the Left, how the Democrat Party from Woodrow Wilson to today has been and remains fascist.

You could, then once you're finished, send your copy to your Congressman – even if he's not a Republican, for if he's a Dem it might open his eyes just a bit to let some light in.  But you might also consider moseying on down to your Congresscritter's local district office.  Especially if he's a Republican you might find a staffer with whom you can have a cup of coffee and discuss the book.

Most politics really is local, and a constituent who spends time to courteously yet with conviction discuss the issue of freedom vs. fascism will be paid attention to by staffers.  Find out who the staffer is the boss most listens to for political advice in his office in Washington.  Send that staffer Goldberg's book, then call him up as a constituent.  Odds are high he'll talk to you.  Start a conversation – and keep it going every week or so by being politely persistent.

As the staffers and their bosses begin to see that branding Democrats as Fascists in the public eye is the path to Republican redemption in 2010 as pro-freedom Anti-Fascists, they'll start to go for it. 

Let's also focus on Pence.  The more copies he receives of Goldberg's Liberal Fascism the better.  You can have Amazon send him one at:  The Hon. Mike Pence, 1317 Longworth House Office Building, Washington DC 20515.  You could also send one to his chief of staff, William Smith, same address.

Be sure to follow this up with a letter explaining the salvation-critical importance of Mr. Pence's use of the word fascist to describe Democrat legislation.

For this word can not just save the Republican Party.  It can save America and what it stands for.  What America was founded on and what it stands for is the direct antithesis of fascism.  The word for this is freedom, meaning individual liberty. 

Zero and the Democrats wish to eliminate or severely restrict it.  We wish to preserve and protect it.  Let's start using the word that can, the word that can save America.
