In another recent post @Shadowcat posted an Obamacare/ACA joke.

and @georgmicrodong posted this response: "Actually, the ACA is as much.fascist as socialist, if not more so. Fascism, more than socialism, has been the dominant trend in this country for a while now."

Got me wondering: fascism, socialism, nihilism, Bolshevism, Francoism, Nazism, Peronism - I cry for thee, Argentina, feminism, ageism, abolitionism, denialism, elitism, terrorism, asceticism, atheism, bohemianism, cannibalism, colonialism, capitalism, communism, feudalism, fetishism, federalism, fanaticism, existentialism, exhibitionism, eroticism, egotism, environmentalism, egalitarianism, dogmatism, dilettantism, deism, counterculturalism, consumerism, conservatism, constitutionalism, communitarianism, communism, capitalism, bohemianism, hermaphroditism, homoeroticism, hucksterism, humanitarianism, imperialism, jingoism, liberalism, libertarianism, masochism, moralism, multiculturalism, narcissism, nationalism, negativism, neuroticism, obstructionism, optimism, pacifism, paganism, patriotism, paternalism, pessimism, phallicism, plagiarism, pragmatism, priapism, racism, relativism, revisionism, puritanism, republicanism, romanticism, sardonicism, satanism, sectarianism, secularism, sentimentalism, skepticism, stoicism, supranationalism, transvestism, ultraconservatism, unitarianism, utopianism, voyeurism, yahooism, zombiism.............

AND last but not least - JISM How many can you apply to Obamacare/ACA?

BREAKING NEWS: Obama and Democrats have agreed to defund Obamacare; Republicans have agreed to fully fund the Affordable Care Act.

despite alucard’s fantasies of a fascist fourth reich here in the USA, cannibalism is the most accurate description of all the leftist policies of both the democrat and republican elite who work in unison to put on political theater while fucking the citizenry and destroying the country. it only matters if you let them.

Government Shuts Down, Nation Descends into Riots, Looting and Cannibalism (satire)
Sultan Knish | 9/30/13 | Daniel Greenfield
Posted on Tuesday, October 01, 2013 12:29:40 PM

The United States of America (1787-2013) came to a swift and sudden end last night as the government shut down. The nation which had survived Pearl Harbor, the War of 1812 and Jimmy Carter ceased to exist.

The savage population, which had only been kept in line through a policy of rigorous gun confiscations, food stamps and Green Energy programs unleashed its pent up rage in a spree of riots, looting and mass murder that had only previously been encountered in Somalia.

"The government shut down! We can do anything we like," shouted Sam Hasbley of Grassley, Iowa, while tearing the tag off a mattress despite an explicit warning label forbidding such a dangerous course of action. "Tear yours off. The government is shut down. It can't stop you."

Eyewitnesses spoke of further horrors. On a quiet street in suburban Massachusetts, a man brought out a set of highly illegal lawn darts. In Maryland, there were allegations that an entire family had begun digging ditches to collect rainwater runoff.

With the fall of the government, citizen activists took it upon themselves to chronicle the culture of lawlessness. Men played Gibson guitars made of wood imported from India, but not finished by Indian workers. Women bought cold medicine without a photo ID. Children went hours without hearing lectures about the environment.

The victims were many. In Chuckolod County, Colorado, a transgender person was denied access to the Ladies Room. Frantic calls to the Justice Department were forwarded to an answering service in Depar, India, instead of Doneparre City, Indiana. In Brooklyn, New York, an overweight Senegalese woman was unable to obtain a sign language interpreter while waiting on line to collect her free Obamaphone. In Olegon Falls, Florida, the National Museum of Native American Yarn was forced to shut down depriving schoolchildren of an educational experience and three hours throwing bits of yarn at each other.
And there was worse to come.

The entire city of Detroit was seized by the Michigan Militia backed by Canadian air power. The village of Frankfurt, Illinois passed several ordinances in explicit violation of Title MXVIII of the Federal Charter of Approved Fruit Naming Ordinances. North Dakota seceded and declared that it was now the nation of Bismarckia, elected a Kaiser and petitioned to join OPEC.

An army of Mongols or possibly local residents dressed in Samurai helmets raided the Federal Dried Peach Reserve in Georgia hauling away thousands of tons of dried fruit and tossed them to waiting crowds. The end of food stamps in Martho, New Jersey led to an outbreak of cannibalism despite efforts by ACORN volunteers to bring order to the proceedings by soliciting volunteers to give up their privilege and be fed to the people.

In Massey Hills, Virginia, a gang of politically incorrect sports mascots entered a workplace and implicitly hurt the feelings of several minorities. Their calls to the Justice Department were forwarded to Eric Holder's private voicemail along with frequent messages from his coke dealer demanding to be paid, like right now, and requests for weapons manuals from several Mexican cartel bosses.

In Madison, Wisconsin, the entire United Organized Educators and Librarians Union attempted to commit mass suicide on the front lawn of the Madison Center of Union History to protest budget cuts and school closings. Their efforts proved in vain when the gasoline they poured on themselves in a failed attempt at self-immolation turned out to be apple juice.

In Caplow City, Maine, President Gerald Ford, long thought dead and believed to have been buried in Michigan, appeared and declared himself to be the nation's new leader. While some suspect him to be an impostor based on the plastic texture of his mask which has a hastily erased message reading "Impeach Nixon" on the side, the city fathers have chosen to embrace the possibilities offered by Emperor Ford and have set him up in style in a presidential palace on the eight floor of the Caplow Arms Hotel.

In the midst of all this chaos, a weary nation's eyes turn to Washington D.C. But since the shutdown, which also shut off all power, water and press releases to the embattled city, no word has reached the outside world of what is taking place there. The last message was a smoke signal dispatched by Elizabeth Warren from the roof of a burning Capitol Building. An expert in Native American smoke signals decoded it to read, "I told you so. Now we're all doomed."

The only surviving member of the national government outside the dead zone is believed to be Vice President Joseph Biden who showed up on a beach in Waddiddi, Florida, where he has spent hours entertaining himself by building an elaborate 1/100 scale model of the White House out of sand. Attempts to inform him that the tide was coming in have fallen on deaf ears.

As the nation descends into chaos, one thing is clear. The government shutdown has once again doomed us all. Just like the last 17 times.

With the government shut down, I read a notice online stating due to the government shutdown, some web sites may not be constantly monitored. ODrama and the democrats failed in their mission to cause maximum pain to the average person. They could have blocked web sites by requiring them to obtain government monitoring in order to operate. It would be like their attempts to shut down the ocean by not allowing fishermen to fish due to no government permits being obtainable.

I read our government is now treating Americans like they have been treating others around the world for years. like crap. Thanks for reelecting the same people. sarcasm.

I do not remember what web site it was on.

Sounds like someone idea of a joke or maybe a message that the site might not respond to any comments left on the site because it was not being constantly monitored due to the shutdown.

joker,

Likely an "ism" exists for anything one might do in this world. Like could our discussing my "ismism" be considered an "ismismism"?
