Maxine Waters is a moron. No, seriously. She has got to be the most simple-minded individual in an extremely simple-minded Congress. But at least she's honest -- she has no qualms about showing her true colors. Or, rather, color. And, no it's not black. It's red.
In a grilling of oil executives by a House panel yesterday, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., threatened to nationalize the industry if it didn't do something about the rising prices at the pump.I believe this is called Fascism. It's what Mussolini did. It's what Peron did in Argentina. It's what the Labor governments of the 60's and 70's did in England (and what a rousing success THAT was -- one labor strike after another).
Waters responded, in part, "And guess what this liberal would be all about. This liberal will be about socializing … uh, um. …"
The congresswoman paused to collect her thoughts.
"Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies. …"
The oil executives responded, according to Fox News, by saying they've seen this before, in Hugo Chavez's Venezuela.
A wise man once said, "There is nothing new under the sun." No, there certainly isn't.
