I'm the last person you should be accusing of "drinking kool aid".
I've read lots of history. Can you tell me what I could read that would show me how we are heading towards communism?
the founding fathers quotes for starters.
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
Thomas Jefferson
I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody.
Barack Obama
If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost.
Barack Obama
Delay is preferable to error.
Thomas Jefferson
If you don't set deadlines in this town, things don't happen
Barack Obama
Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
Thomas Jefferson
What Washington needs is adult supervision.
Barack Obama
"When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly.... [However, now] there's a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there's too much freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it."
Bill Clinton
"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve
the rights of ordinary Americans..."
Bill Clinton
