Have Hate-Crimes, but don't we really need Fascist-Crimes Laws?

[Captain Obvious]

Back to the OP.

Creating new laws doesn't solve problems, many public officials are basically immune from them anyway. It's how oppression works.

What we need is more engaged people willing to hold their elected officials accountable. Unfortunately we have too many partisan hacks who would rather sit around criticizing candidates for not giving their hairdressers bigger tips and how teh O'bama's making sure we all get ebola and other jerkoffology like that, so you basically get what you deserve in this respect.

So we already have "Hate-Crimes" legislation, which is dubious at best, and often just political persecution of the "Politically Incorrect"...

But what we are seeing in the Obama-Era is a huge upsurge in crimes committed by Government Officials abusing the powers of their office to persecute their political enemies.

Why don't we abandon the completely unprovable "Emotional State and Motivation" concept of "Hate-Crimes" and instead adopt a very provable and concretely deterministic "Fascism-Crime" concept.

In other words, if it can be proven that a Government Official used and/or abused their official powers of office in the commission of a crime, there would be considerable increases in mandatory sentencing for the crime.

Also, the time limit for prosecution in the Statute of Limitations for Fascism-Crimes should be doubled.

I know that all of the Progressive-Fascists are going to sneer, scream and have fits of apoplexy at the very idea of "Fascism-Crime" Laws.... but maybe that too would be a good thing.

Nothing like a bit of daylight and fresh aire to reveal and thwart corruption.

Question for Debate: Should we create a special class of crimes with extra penalties, when an Official uses their power of office in the commission of a crime?

You do know that it isn't the progressives that are fascists right?

I know that the Progressive are almost always fascists, who are in deep self-denial at times, but often just very clever manipulators and liars.

Lois Lerner, Jonathan Gruber and Eric Holder are three prominent examples.

"Fascism" is a functionally subjective term.

Lying to commit health insurance fraud by a private individual, or even a health care office worker, is a problem.

Lying to commit Health Insurance Fraud by Jonathan Grueber, on a national scale, affecting 100s of Millions of Americans, is another scale of problem altogether.

The Punishment should fit the scale of the crime.
