Back in 1927 an American Socialist, Norman Thomas, six time candidate for the Socialist Party Ticket
said the American People would never vote for Socialism but, under the name of Liberalism
the American People will adapt every fragment of the Socialist program.

There are many ways our government has invaded the precints of private citizens,
the method of earning a living, ...

At the moment I'd like to talk about another because this threat is with us and at the
moment is more imminent.

One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine.

It is very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. Most people are a little reluctant
to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people that possibly cannot afford it.

Now, the American People, if you put it to them about socialised medicine and gave them a chance to choose,
would unhesitatingly vote against it. We have an example of this. Under the Truman Administration,
it was proposed that we have compulsory health insurance for all people in the United States and of course,
the American People unhesitatingly opposed this.

You know you live in a Country run by idiots if...

You can get arrested for expired tags on your car but not for being in the country illegally.

You have to have your parents signature to go on a school field trip but not to get an abortion.

An 80 year old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a Muslim woman in a burka is only subject to having her neck and head searched.

Your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more of our money.

A seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for calling his teacher "cute” but hosting a sexual exploration/sexual diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable.

The Supreme Court of the United States can rule that lower courts cannot display the 10 Commandments in their courtroom, while sitting in front of a display of the 10 Commandments.

Children are forcibly removed from parents who appropriately discipline them while children of "underprivileged" drug addicts are left to rot in filth infested cesspools of a “home”.

Hard work and success are rewarded with higher taxes and government intrusion, while slothful, lazy behavior is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing, and free cell phones.

The government's plan for getting people back to work is to provide 99 weeks of unemployment checks (to not work).

Being self-sufficient is considered a threat to the government.

Politicians think that stripping away the amendments to the constitution is protecting the rights of the people.

The rights of the Government come before the rights of the individual.

You pay your mortgage, and deny yourself the newest big screen TV or latest gadgets. Your neighbor defaults on his mortgage while buying iPhones, TV's and new cars, and the government forgives his debt and reduces his mortgage with your tax dollars.

Being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you "safe".

You can write a post like this just by reading the news headlines.
