A New Low -- Banning Farmer's Markets??!?!?!

There is no nice way to put this: Obama and, it seems, ALL of the louts and goons who support him are fascisti in the most technically correct way. No, they don't wave banners with the swastika (or the hammer and sickle). Yet. But the more I see, the more that I see a bunch that would have supported Mao's 'Great Leap Forward', Stalin's war against the kulaks, or Benny Mussolini's campaigns.
Case in point: there is now a proposal, a serious one it seems to, well, let me quote a better writer than I am.
Change We Can Believe In: How About the End of Farmers Markets? Say Hello to H.R. 875: Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009

What this will do is force anyone who produces food of any kind, and then transports it to a different location for sale, to register with a new federal agency called the “Food Safety Administration.” Even growers who sell just fruit and/or vegetables at farmers markets would not only have to register, but they would be subject inspections by federal agents of their property and all records related to food production. The frequency of these inspections will be determined by the whim of the Food Safety Administration. Mandatory “safety” records would have to be kept. Anyone who fails to register and comply with all of this nonsense could be facing a fine of up to $1,000,000 per violation.
Neat, huh?

By some accounts, this could outlaw the hot-dog salesman, the pizza delivery, much else.

Let's play 'Guess The Party''!!
Ok, no fair. The author of this piece of asinine fascism is one Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-CT. You knew it would be a Democrat, didn't you? And you are not surprised, are you, that this chunk of human detritus originates from Connecticut? I mean really.

Tell me again why we fought against Hitler and Mussolini. It would appear that they won.
