Good Morning, Comrade

Remember the weak outcry from conservatives against "globalization"?  The liberal side of the Supreme Court was making decisions based on European precedent and we had to play by the world's rules in order to all get along.  Remember when the most vocal critics of George W. Bush said prior to his election that if he won they'd move to Europe?  Of course they didn't go, but they're doing the next best thing; they are doing all they can to aid B.O. in bringing Europe here.  For all the denials and ridicule heaped on whomever dared to utter the word "socialism" in any way during the campaign - and since then I suppose - it appears to be official now.  The cover of the latest Newsweek magazine is celebrating our becoming part of the grand structure of socialism.

We've been tilting in that direction for some time now - since the 60's I'd say - but it's full speed ahead now.  I hope we haven't arrived yet, but how do you tell?  The most socialist countries are first of all, pagan.  That's not to say "religion" is not allowed, it's only true Christianity that is not well tolerated.  Secondly, the government controls almost everything and sets limits on what and how much they can do and how and when they can do it.  Thirdly, they "take care of" everyone - meet all needs from housing to medical care.  And we can't forget taxes - in order to "take care of" everyone they tax the bejabbers out of everyone and everything that has an income. Whatever is left after "administrative" costs gets spread around (redistributed) to the various entities that "take care of" those who need assistance which is almost everyone because the government takes almost everything from everyone.  Those in high office, heads of state, and others who manage to retain wealth, have always come here for good medical care.  I wonder where they'll go now?
