Newsweek Confirms It! We Are Socialists!

Before I started this illustrious blog I told anyone that would listen that our new president was a Socialist. I told anyone that would give me an audience that this country is on the road to socialism. Now Newsweek confirms it. Take a look at the cover of the current issue of Newsweek. This kind of validation I could live without. I wish I was wrong. Who's to blame? We are! This is a recurring theme here but we elect the morons that serve us! The scariest part is that a lot of people want to live in a socialist country. They want the government to take care of them. They want free healthcare, guaranteed jobs, and bailouts when they get in over their heads. They want the government to protect them. They want the government to make them feel all warm and fuzzy. Here's a little history lesson and historical debunking rolled into one: An amazing statement that should be the mantra of all freedom loving, democracy craving people is commonly attributed to Thomas Jefferson incorrectly. The statement which I think sums it all up beautifully is this: "A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have". This statement was made by President Gerald R. Ford when he addressed a joint session of Congress on August 12, 1974!! Wow, that's impressive and words we should start to live by before it's too late. Maybe it is too late already. I refuse to go quietly.
