OBAMA: OBEY-ME

This guy Obaman is dangerous, people. From today's IBD: Sen. Obama's call to public service is quite different from JFK's. JFK knew America was already a nation of givers and volunteers, perhaps the most charitable and altruistic nation on Earth. Entities such as the Peace Corps would give Americans an outlet for their kindness and generosity, an opportunity to share what the freest nation on Earth had given them. Obama will force you to share. [Emphasis added] Yipes! Talk about tiptoe-ing toward a fascistic authoritarian society (as if the Democrats weren't already frog marching us there already). "Our collective service can shape the destiny of this generation," Obama said. "Individual salvation depends on collective salvation." What Obama is really asking for is servitude rather than service. Watch that word "collective," a word that socialists and communists just cannot resist dropping. It's a reflexive action for them, and fortunately for the still-benighted among us, the annointed reveal their authoritarian tendencies when they use it. "Collective" equals "communistic." Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) had this to say about servitude: "Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom, socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude."
