First the Media then the Utilities
The business fascists are closing in on their next huge target. Media conglomerates are proliferating as they slide to the right under loosened public protections, ah, er...I mean freedom from regulation.
Now, the energy bill is seeking to unleash the Titans of consolidation on our public utilities. Check out what the repeal of the Public Utilities Holding Company Act (yeah it's in the same pork barrel) could mean to just plain us. Meteor Blades explains it here.

2. fas•cist (plural fas•cists) or Fas•cist supporter of fascism: somebody who supports or advocates a system of government characterized by dictatorship, centralized control of private enterprise, repression of all opposition, and extreme nationalism
Seems to me fascist would want more government control not less, right?
You poor confused liberal, ah, er… socialist.
so•cial•ism [ sṓshə lìzəm ] or So•cial•ism [ sṓshə lìzəm ]

I, too, would remain anonymous if I needed the dictionary twice to get through a 200-word reply.
I don't need a dictionary to explain that an adjective is a modifier for a noun. For instance, when I say business fascist I am modifying the word fascist from its normal government connotation to refer to the business community.
I admit to periodic bouts of confusion, and not all of them brought on by age.
However, at least I can read.
That makes no sense at all to try to modify fascist that way. You can't have it both ways. Please don't let word meanings get in the way of your argument. Name calling? Whenever a liberal can't continue an aurgument on the merit of their position, they always resort to name calling and the politics of personal destruction.
