Since the attention span of even people that claim to be readers has shrank to the time it takes to kill a zombie in a video game, I've broken this piece up into two parts.

A definition of Fascism:

Main Entry: fas·cism
Pronunciation: ˈfa-ˌshi-zəm also ˈfa-ˌsi-
Function: noun
Etymology: Italian fascismo, from fascio bundle, fasces, group, from Latin fascis bundle & fasces fasces
Date: 1921
1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2 : a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

Fascism defines corporate America. Before everyone bolts to conclusions, please allow me a few moments to explain.

Corporations are headed by autocratic regimes. You will lose your job and dignity if you question your leaders.

"...that exalts nation..." You are required to exalt your company or lose your job.

"...headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation and forcible oppression of opposition." Millions of us can agree we've witnessed this exact thing. The severe economic repercussions are being unemployed. The social regimentation? Forcible oppression to opposition?

We even wear the uniforms of our employers.

Fascism can co-exist with capitalism. We Americans embrace all forms of money-making.  I'm not picking on fascism or corporations, merely pointing out we do not need to fear fascism.

Socialism is a poor bastard child of pure unadulterated Fascism. However, our biggest corporations are the biggest fascists.

How do we rationalize this? Because we need jobs and dignity.

If the largest retailer in the world has 100's of billions of dollars at the top and at the bottom it's employees are taught how to sign-up for welfare, because Wal-Mart's not paying them enough. This is fascism.

Thank you Wal-Mart for your scorched-Earth policy on capitalism.

In my humble opinion, Wal-Mart is fascism running free under the capitalism flag.

Wal-Mart just destroyed your local business (you may have been the owner), work for us, exalt us or starve.

I dislike fascists so much I have not invoked their biggest hero's name ever (read that in valley girl voice)... yet I will today.

"Hitler" did the same thing, he forced people to bend to his will. If you disagreed you were dead (unemployed). I also dislike bringing-up mohammed, but since he killed everyone that disagreed with him, the shoe fits.

And we gripe about stealing an election? Just murder everyone you disagree with.

Americans please think for yourselves. We are being played by 5 people that control the media.

*******

Let me see if I can debate Glenn Beck on Health Care Reform (keeping in mind Glenn is fact-retardant).

Are you for or against Health Care reform Glenn?

Against. Socialist.

Against Health Care or reform?

Both, because of the deficit and it's socialist.

We could trim the budget and, hypothetically, jump start the economy and maybe trim a war or two. So, Glenn, we could afford it. Would you be for Health Care reform?

Against. Wake-up fellow Americans. Don't fall for this socialist, leftist, liberal money pit. Oh, and the deficit.

So, Glenn, you're part of the death panel?

Um, er, the deficit? Socialist?

What if I told you, that you and only you, Glenn Beck, would not be allowed into my new free euthanasia clinics?

I won't be treated like some common working class dirtbag. I make 30 million a year, I'm Glenn "Fuck society" Beck. How much will it cost me?

Here's a coupon Glenn. You might wanna checkout the definition of euthanasia.

I'm all about youths in Asia!

Bon voyage Glenn thank you for bleaching the gene pool! Natural selection is a wonderful thing.

NEWSFLASH: Obama Introduces a Bill guaranteeing air for everyone.

A visibly disturbed Senator Jim Bunning barked "Yet another example of Obama's socialist agenda."

Senator Bunning immediately formed a committee on how to capitalize the air in his head. "The air in my head will not be socialized air! Give me liberty or give me an enema!" Senator Bunning then pulled down his pants and begged for an enema.

It's virtually impossible to debate, discuss or counter amorphous globules posing as an argument. Much like it's hard to grasp smoke or a rope of sand.

We may have some thoughts on an issue, but once it's labeled leftist or socialist or commie, our eyes glaze over and thoughts evaporate. We're much easier to herd than cats.

The fire and brimstone Holy Hollerers on TV get immediate credibility because they're on TV. It's as though we're mesmerized, our brains immediately atrophying upon eye contact.

If Healthcare was a baby seal they'd be clubbing it to death and we'd be screaming for a club. Why? Because the told us the cute baby seal was a commie.

NEWSFLASH: Sarah Palin saw the cute baby seal from her house and it was in Russia!

My Nostradomus-like predictions have come to pass. The blood curdling screams of cats having their profit-balls cut-off are coming from the Health Insurance industry, right on through Beck and O'Vilely and Rush "me to a drugstore" Limbaugh, like verbal diarrhea. Sending shivers down my spine like run-on sentences do.

Glenn "I'm a common millionaire, man" Beck, Bill "I'm not stupid, but I know you are" O'Vilely and Rush "am I at the drugstore yet" Limblower are the Pied Pipers of propaganda.

Their mission is to convince us that:

"Black is white."

"The louder they are the righter they are."

"Go forth and argue folks."

While they keep us divided, their evil superiors pillage America.

At night they sleep in the pockets of corporate America with a lot of politicians.

Have you noticed the only time we think politicians are telling the truth is when they say what we want to hear?

Sing along with Mary Poppins: A spoon full of sugar makes the sedatives go dowww-n... in the most delightful way.

As we're singing, we're walking the plank and they've convinced us this is good for us and those aren't sharks but playful dolphins.

They (in this case meant to include: Everyone that suffocates free-thought and democracy and America) are sucking oxygen that would be better served rusting my car.

Thinking is only socialist if we all do it and it's hard to do when everybody's hollerin' like they're calling pigs... or sheep.
