>From her conservative point of view, she knew exactly what Reagan meant, that socialism is a threat to freedom. Palin's speech indeed refers to impending socialism and loss of freedom. In my advancing years, I'm all for preserving Medicare, Social Security and believe we need universal healthcare. These are essential social safety nets. However, the recent pork laden bailout, forced on taxpayers, sets the stage for Obama to scrap any program protecting the most basic of human needs and nationalize everything from soup to nuts. Get use to it, it's what's for dinner, served up by Obama's youth corps. http://tinyurl.com/3z7llj
If you're willing to become a serf in an Obama administration, you get to eat and if not, you're fucked. Become a true believing member of the Obama Party and you will prosper. Members of the Baath Party, Communist Party, and Nazi Party did well and non-party member got the shitty end of the stick. The cult of Obama's personality and demagoguery it engenders is a danger to our country. Welcome comrades to US of KKK A http://tinyurl.com/4fmt7s and God Damn America while you're at it. http://tinyurl.com/4f6prc Despite the bailout, we still face the possibility of hyperinflation and economic collapse. As big banks bulge bigger and the little guy picks up the tab, soon we will owe our indentured servant lives to the state and burn dollars for heat in the winter. Get ready for the Amero. http://tinyurl.com/ynsxbl "Every truth passes through three stages before it is recognized.
