Fascist America

How are some individuals (mostly from the left) so outraged when libertarians classify this economy/country as technically fascist? The government is currently running a large number of companies and industries either outright or indirectly. To name just a few - the postal service, Amtrak, GM, the coinage of money, the majority of the banking sector (indirectly through the Fed), the court system, national defense, scientific research, education, healthcare, most utility companies, and I'm sure I could go on and on. In addition, and just in case you do not get enough government in your daily life, Obama has given us a plethora of "Czars" to obey. Here is a list of a few:

Energy Czar: Carol Browner

Urban Czar: Adolfo Carrion, Jr.

Infotech Czar: Vivek Kundra

Faith-based Czar: Joshua DuBois

Health reform Czar Nancy-Ann DeParle

New TARP Czar Herb Allison

Stimulus accountability Czar Earl Devaney

Non-proliferation Czar Gary Samore

Terrorism Czar John Brennan

Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein

Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske

Guantanamo closure Czar Daniel Fried.
