Socialism Is Here

As predicted by many people (including me), this country is now moving into socialism and away from capitalism -- a very scary scenario. With the passage of the 900 trillion dollar (that will be the final cost) socialist package ("stimulus package") money will NOT go to the American people, but rather to enlarge the U.S. government and its control over your lives. And WHO do you think will be paying for that $900 trillion offensive package? Obama is doing what everyone feared....using his position to further strictly left wing goals. For example, did you know that he secretly moved the Census from the Department of Commerce to the WHITE HOUSE??? SO WHAT? Well, now the White House can "estimate" the number of people in any area, without oversight, and change the electoral college - therefore, giving democrats more votes in the future. He and his democrat congress are moving to give the District of Columbia Senate and House seats. SO WHAT? Well, the District of Columbis is NOT A STATE, so they should not, constitutionally, be able to have those seats. But Congress will pass legislation to make it happen, giving democrats more votes. And Obama and his congress has changed rules for Medicare and Medicaid so that these new rules can take effect. SO WHAT? Well, this is the first step towards a socialist health care plan -- one that failed in Europe, Canada and even Russia. AMERICA IS NOW CHANGING from the capitalist society that we have always known to a socialist one.

God help us all.

Please watch Glenn Beck on FoxNews this evening for more information on these issues.

Beck is good. He's a little alarmist though, so it's best to sedate yourself before listening or watching too much of him.

Better a Socialist State than a Theocracy.

Why do you say socialist health care failed in Europe and Canada? Anyone from here treated there will tell you how great it works.

Wow, this Census change must really be secret. The Dept. of Commerce website still thinks it is in their office. As far as our country heading toward socialism, that pendulum has been swinging back and forth since our country was formed. Government intervenes when the private sector fails, and when the government fails, the electorate take it back. Jack, you and your guru Beck are in the words of Bob Dylan "taking your paranoia a little too seriously".

I can say that I have never been so scared to live in this country as I do now. God help us all.

Let's focus a little and really think back. Does McCartyism, racial inequality, civil strife, and an unjust war in Asia really make you all that warm and fuzzy?

11:46. Can I bring you a nice blanket, or an ice floe? My god {your god...or choice of no god at all}...get a friggin' hold of yourself!! When are many of you going to grow a pair and educate yourselves PROPERLY so that you can prevent any one of hundreds of different government, private sector, MSM, door-to-door steak salesmen, independent bloggers and even close family members/allegedly pregnant girlfriends from trying to control you/prey on you with factless hyperbole and relentless fear-mongering?? If this was the pure animal kingdom and you showed up on game-day with your type of attitude you would become "Darwinian-Grizzy Chow."

Those poor Europeans have a longer life expectancy than Americans and less per capita is spent in health care. And you know the best thing about Socialized medicine?
NO INSURANCE COMPANIES !!!!

Gina. It is like a forgotten John Lennon lyric..."Imagine no greedy insurance agents-it's easy if you try"...You may say we are dreamers-but we aren't the only ones...;)

Glenn Beck is a lunatic

Glenn Beck is not a lunatic-he has real fears and Congress is known to back-door us left and right. This is why some people remain anonymous.
I don't want social medicine and I don't think if I work hard to stay healthy some Cheetos-eating beer swillin' fat body should get the same healthcare as I do or pay the same amount. I also think I should choose what I'm going to pay for in healthcare not some gov't overseer. It's ridiculous to say that the Europeans live longer and that means their healthcare is better when everyone is living longer on average-it's the advances in medicine that you won't see in the socialist system-DUH
Why do Canadians and Europeans make the trip here for healthcare then??? and for the Anon saying better a socialist state than a theocracy-please come back to the planet, just because our money says "IN God we Trust" it doesn't mean we are anywhere near a theocracy. We are leaning too far to the left and there's change coming in 2010...

That's the plan!

If you talk to any American who has had to use the health system in Europe they are always amazed at how well it works. Europeans do not come here for health care.

Has anyone checked out Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman? All haters. They would have nothing to talk about or report if they could not bash on Bush or a Republican. I am an Independent and I cannot stand all the hate that they spew. Now those are scary people!

90% of you wingnuts do not even know the definition of Socialism. You are like parrots to the Right Wingnut radio gods.

Honestly,we already HAVE socialized medicine in this country and its called Medicaid.How do you think the lady in CA who just squeezed out eight premature babies is covering those costs?Working class people are getting shafted by these type of policies-we have to scrape up $100+ a week to pay for health insurance for our families thru work and hope we can keep up the premiums.My non-working counterparts are getting 100% free healthcare,including dental care,for themselves and their families.They arent forced into bankruptcy by crushing medical bills.If we are going to spend the money anyway,it may as well start benefitting some of the people who are funding it for everyone.
