To paraphrase Dr Henry Jones, it wasn't until my oldest kid reached the age of 13 that they became interesting.
So over Easter dinner Firstborn, Mlle Sklodovska, Barbaloot and I compared the concepts of nationalism, Nazism (national socialism), and fascism.
There is no sting to equating ObamaCare (probably better called Reid/PelosiCare) with socialism. The word 'socialism' does not invoke the outrage, the indignation, that it once did when I was a boy.
Libertarians: don't bother. It won't get you traction with anyone whose help you'd welcome. You are surrounded by people who hope to start collecting wealth redistribution, via Social Security, sooner than you'll pay off your current car loan. The only outrage they will exhibit is if Sosh Scurty is depleted before they get theirs; by then it will be too late. Cries of 'socialism' today won't motivate them.
Besides, it isn't quite true. ObamaCare (SoetoroCare?) is not socialism, it's fascism.
Something the reader will have to look up. Next up, regulatory capture.

Thank you! Someone besides me that understands that Fascism is what this all is. Government control of private business. I mean, seriously, it's so blatant, but too many educated idiots can't figure out the definition of Fascism.
Chad, you are not alone.
