We’re not really socialist. The US has become more of a facist-type situation with big government and big corporations figuring out how to take away our freedoms and our economic independence. Socialists would cut out the corporations totally.

Exactly right! The fascisti have taken over. Way different than socialism. By definition, fascists adopt a set of goals which place themselves above any law or national tradition. Hence Hitler declared the so-called 'Aryan race' as superior and acted accordingly incarcerating or killing other minorities especially of course the Jews. Major industrials like Krupp, Mercedes, BMW, Bayer etc.were not nationalized as they would be by Socialists, but in fact benefited by playing along.

Today we have the MSM, major banks like Goldman and Chase, GM, Chrysler, GE, green energy companies like Solyndra all playing along. And who is the new superior race? Which race is above the law as enunciated by the chief federal prosecutor, our Attorney General who said he would not prosecute 'his people?'
