Dismantling America

Thomas Sowell - Syndicated Columnist - 10/27/2009 10:50:00 AM

(Excerpt):

Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official — not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate, but simply one of the many “czars” appointed by the President — could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?

Did you think that another “czar” would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers — that is, to create a situation where some newspapers’ survival would depend on the government liking what they publish?

Did you imagine that anyone would even be talking about having a panel of so-called “experts” deciding who could and could not get life-saving medical treatments?

Scary as that is from a medical standpoint, it is also chilling from the standpoint of freedom. If you have a mother who needs a heart operation or a child with some dire medical condition, how free would you feel to speak out against an administration that has the power to make life and death decisions about your loved ones?

Does any of this sound like America?

Yes, I could, for I kept quoting the communist manifesto, to all who would listen and some that didn’t.

Two years ago, the family ordered me to quit saying “it is all in the communist manifesto”, as an answer to all the subjects.

LOL, this year, not one person commented on the manifesto. for at last, they had seen what I told them was going on, but too late to stop it.

It was all planned and well known by 1963, when it was introduced into the Congressional records.

Now, we have a man with power and even powers that we never dreamed our leaders would use and he is going to put as many new laws in place as he can, so many that we may never get them changed, without starting all over from scratch.

Just my opinion.....

Sadly, no. Even more sadly, only a few Americans even seem concerned!
