Socialism turns Citizens into Subjects. Communism turns Subjects into Slaves.

Imagine what it would be like to live in a country where the people have no rights.  Everything was owned and run by the state. A place where all of your freedoms become acts of generosity bestowed on you or some selected group of privileged partisans by some government dictator. One current example is the huge number of waivers granted to Obama's union supporters to his Socialized Medicine health care plan. I wonder why no one in the media has asked the obvious question: If the Obamacare plan is so good for everyone, why have his union buddies asked for the waivers? Of course, Obama's union buddies, namely The Teamsters Union and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) were simply be repaid for their loyal support.

Imagine how it would be if a warning given to us by Republican President Gerald R. Ford back in 1976 came to pass when he said: "A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take from you everything you have." Of course the 47% of the population who always have their hand out looking for another freebee are too busy to think about the consequences. Skip forward to the present year and listen to the words of Barack Hussein Obama and his horde of Socialist Democrats speak about redistributing the wealth as if they wanted the mindless voters to believe they were some modern day Robin Hoods robbing the rich to give to the poor. Recall the principle plank of the Communist Party written by Karl Marx in 1875 that says: "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." But isn't it interesting to note that all communist dictators and their party loyalists seem to need more and get more than the rest. Read some news stories about the lavish, extravagant lifestyle of the Dear Leader of North Korea, a country that is so impoverished it has to import food to feed its people.

Never mind that there were state run factories and forced labor camps called Gulags. A Gulag is the acronym in Russian for Chief Administration of Corrective Labor Camps and Colonies. And did you know that our own Federal government has constructed a series of concentration camps in America, has posted job bulletins on the official U.S. Army web site GoArmy for Internment Specialists. And did you know the Dept. of Homeland Security has placed purchase orders for millions of rounds of hollow-point ammunition. Hundreds of millions, to be exact. Read this disturbing news from www.infowars.com

Back in March, Homeland Security purchased 450 million rounds of .40-caliber hollow point bullets that are designed to expand upon entry and cause maximum organ damage, prompting questions as to why the DHS needed such a large amount of powerful bullets merely for training purposes.

This was followed by another DHS solicitation asking for a further 750 million rounds of assorted bullets, including 357 mag rounds that are able to penetrate walls.

The DHS recently put out an order for riot gear in preparation for the upcoming DNC, RNC and presidential inauguration. The U.S. Army is also busy buying similar equipment.

The DHS also recently purchased a number of bullet-proof checkpoint booths that include ‘stop and go’ lights.

First, Obama says to the creators of American businesses (who, incidentally are the same one's who create American jobs) that "You didn't build that." Then the Democrats all line up to take pot shots at a successful businessman like Mitt Romney because he was successful and became wealthy as a result of it. The class-warfare strategy of the Marxist/Socialists has always been to pit one group against another - while ignoring the fact that they are also among the wealthiest.

Our once-great nation was founded by inspired, God-fearing people who knew from experience what it was like to live under a dictatorship. They were required to pay tribute and fealty to King George III who ruled the colonies from across the ocean. The mad proclamations of Mad King George led to the rebellion of the colonists over taxation without representation. The phrase was made famous by a local politician in Boston in 1765 named James Otis who proclaimed: "Taxation without representation is tyranny."  Later, another patriot named Thomas Jefferson, who would go on to write The Declaration of Independence said: "When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty." Today, Barack Hussein Obama, a man who was raised by anti-American progressives and mentored by communists, has surrounded himself with people with the same anti-American, progressive mindset. Obama, a man who has proclaimed his dictatorial right to create laws by Executive Order without the need of Congress. A man who is habitually imagined in the media as some kind of new messiah. Our own version of North Korea's communist Dear Leader.

Clearly our government is planning something and it is not in our best interest.
