It would be wise for Americans to remember Ben Franklin's words in these perilous times.

The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either.

I think it would be great to set up a “Gross National Misery” index to weigh how Americans suffer under this administration. If possible, that could be a great political tool...

this phenomenon learned helplessness and found that it hinders normal development and leads to emotional disturbances, most predominantly, depression.

One of the root causes for the rampant alcohol addiction in the former Soviet Union.

The former soviet union built the Berlin wall and closed all of it's borders for the sole reason of preventing the best and brightest from fleeing the country.

The smart, the rich, the talented, the productive, the hard working will always flee a system in which they are forced to do all the labor for slave wages while the bums live off their hard work (which is what is happening in the North East and California)

Communists always knew that communism couldn't exist in a world with a democratic capitalistic alternative. The west knew this also, and this was the whole reason for the cold war, as well as the Korean and Vietnam wars, Containment of communism which had to expand into adjoining capitalistic area or die.

The problem now is that there is NO WHERE TO GO. No where to flee to! no where where freedom exists anymore. Socialism (which is just communism, that isn't being forced upon people at the end of a barrel), has spread everywhere.

There are no more truly free countries anymore. There is no where to run to anymore... communism has won. I fear for my family, I fear that we may be rounded up and sent off for reconditioning eventually or worse. I have no hope left save for a small spark of freedom I still see at places like this or the health care town halls.
