Comments on: Liberalism – Slow Road to Despotism (and Coming Fast to Greater Binghamton) http://rssbinghamton.com/liberalism-slow-road-to-despotism-and-coming-fast-to-greater-binghamton/ A conservative voice crying in the liberal wilderness of Greater Binghamton, NY Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:43:58 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jim Willis http://rssbinghamton.com/liberalism-slow-road-to-despotism-and-coming-fast-to-greater-binghamton/comment-page-1/#comment-338 Jim Willis Fri, 21 Mar 2008 20:31:25 +0000 http://rssbinghamton.com/liberalism-slow-road-to-fascism-coming-fast-to-greater-binghamton/#comment-338 Spot on WHB (as my British friends say). If you read the comments on the original P&SB article you'll see more than one person making the defense that socialized medicine, et al is not socialism! Here's a quote from one of them, "Let us get this straight. Socialism is not the same as universal public school education or universal health care." Excuse me--it IS the same thing and has been since it was started a generation ago! Universal anything means you take money from some people, forcibly, and give it to others. It's immoral, wrong, and socialist. When individual liberties go bye bye, it moves from socialism to fascism. You're right...the difference between the two is very thin indeed.

They (Obama and Clinton for example) effectively capitalize off of fear; ala Marx and class warfare; ala Hitler. The irony of it all is that Socialism is about one step away from Fascism. These people want to tell us (control) what a "typical person" is. Tragically America is too ignorant to see it for what it really is. The liberals have us looking for racists under the bed. When this is a classic bait and switch game played by classic Leninists. If we are lucky their party will implode (as it has done in the past). And we can continue to limp along with the likes of MCcain. WHB The strong winds of socailism are blowing locally and nationally.
