"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
- Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948
I don’t think it’s a secret that I’ve been feeling rather discouraged lately. I preach and preach that people need to continue fighting, even when they feel like it’s not doing any good, and I truly need to follow my own advice. I suppose it’s helpful for me to, now and then, hear something truly horrifying, because it invigorates me. It reminds me of what I’m fighting for, whether anyone is listening or not.
I want to share a bit of hypocrisy with you. Right now the free market is going out the window. The government is making a grab for ownership of several private enterprises, claiming that these companies are too big to fail. Well, today I have some proof that the goal here is not to preserve the businesses by means of federal money. The goal is to take control of the businesses to give the government more power.
Take a look at this video. It shows exactly how the liberals feel about private enterprise.
And people are worried about the swine flu making them sick. Feel free to take a minute to swallow your bile before continuing on. I hope some of you are beginning to see how these welfare policies are about freedom vs control, not charity vs greed. I hope you are beginning to understand that the people who truly love others are on my side. Don’t let us fall into socialism without knowing how it happened. God made us free; never, never let them take it away.
