This is the title to a great article by George Will at the Washington Post. In it he talks about how America need not wait for socialism to arrive via the Obama/Pelosi express but how it is already here. It is here we allowed it and we don't even know it.

McCain/Palin spoke out about it in their C- campaign for the Presidency, attacking The Big O on his "spreading the wealth" quote. But since different programs have crept into our everyday lives under the auspices of "good for the country" (Medicare, welfare, farm subsidies, bailouts etc) when confronted with the cold statement "Socialism" most Americans don't grasp the significance.
It won't be till it begins to hit our personal take home pay that we will begin to understand, by then it may be to late.
"The seepage of government into everywhere is, we are assured, to be temporary and nonpolitical. Well."
I call BS.

“Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have."--Barry Goldwater
If we give the government the power to confiscate our arms we also give up the ultimate means to combat that corrupt power. In doing so we can only assure that we will eventually be totally subject to it.” —Ronald Reagan
