Nikita Khrushchev said... we do not need to force Communism on you. You will do it yourself.

Our fast track to Socialism should come as no surprise however; it should be taken very seriously. The plan to “change” this nation was recited over and over during two years of campaigning by our present administration. It appears that Hollywood theatrics and horrendous spending were the keys to our being anesthetized enough to stifle our resistance. We asked no questions as to just what “change,” meant, now we know. It is the remaking of America in the image of a “cooperative” land of plenty for all. The change is real and moving much faster than anyone ever dreamed, while congress, the body that can put on the brakes seems to be oblivious to the danger facing us.

 

In only eight months this administration has moved faster and deeper into Socialism than any administration including that of FDR. It has controlled capital and production, it is controlling people with it’s forced health reform as well as asking people to inform on folks opposing the administration on the Whitehouse website. The president has stated we need a domestic security force as strong as the army. This may sound preposterous but I do think he will try to pull it off. Is this our very own brand of the Gestapo? 

 

The most compelling and complete control of the population will follow with the confiscatory tax burden to pay for our jailer’s plans for redistribution of wealth. These taxes will first be felt in 2011 and accelerate at an alarming rate until your reward will be a federally established wage.

 

The latest and most dangerous move is the presidents statements that he is looking to bail out the newspaper industry. This is not a new revelation. The president addressed it in March and appointed a woman from the Los Angeles Times to be the information czar. His appointee, Rosa Brooks says it is a must to make news sources a not for profit system. Literally translated it means government control of the press. No country in the world with a controlled press enjoys freedom. Are we next?

 

No attempt has been made to hide the fact that talk radio is on the watch list of this administration. Several alternative plans have been suggested including excessive license fees levied on talk radio, which could be transferred to bolster public radio programming in opposition to private sector talk radio. Public radio of course is regulated and has to answer to government for a major portion of its funding.

 

We should be very wary of a Whitehouse where half the staff is comprised of czars who have no constitutional authority, no congressional authority and answer only to the president. A base of power and intimidation is flourishing that should be the prime target of congressional oversight.
