You have to ask yourself...are there really that many people in this country who WANT to be ruled over?
This just puzzles the heck outta me.
No where socialism has been tried that free people were not enslaved to an oppressive government.
Why would folks willingly hand over freedom?
Freedom is our number one product and resource. People hand it over in trade for the competing product, which is security I think. Freedom entails a certain amount of healthy risk which many fear. They value freedom FROM (responsibility) more than the freedom to. This is all packaged with the feminization of our culture. At one time we had a freedom, risk embracing culture of brave men. Many men have retreated into Alan Alda mode. We need real men to return, to stop worrying about using the correct words, to get grease under their nails again and avoid the salons. Our freedoms depend on this.
