Moving Toward Socialism?

When I heard the news yesterday that the government is moving toward taking over General Motors, I found this to be a bit disturbing. Now that the government, for all intent and purpose, already controls the banking industry and is planning to try and set compensation amounts for all executives...and now wants a law that would require credit card holders with good credit and who pay their bills on time to be charged more, in other words penalized for being a good credit risk, to help pay for those who are not responsible and fail to pay what they owe...the only word I can think of is... Outrageous! It also looks like nationalized medicine is in the pipeline. For a president who has never been in charge of anything, he now wants to run everything. In addition, apologizing to the world for America's effort to try and get rid of those who would destroy freedom and democracy just doesn't make any sense either. It sure seems to me that this administration is racing down the path to a nanny state of entitlement...or as history might call it...failed socialism...faster than Hitler marched through Poland. Just because Barack Obama surrounds himself with very gifted and glib speech writers, and that he has proven that he has mastered the art of reading a teleprompter this does not mean that he is smart. In fact, he may be the most naive president in history. It appears that he is being led by those around him who are bound and determined to change the foundational values that this country was built upon before most Americans wake up and see what is happening. This country was founded upon the belief that everyone has the right to work hard and enjoy the fruits of their labor. This ideal seems to be heading in exactly the opposite direction. We all need to take a good look at ourselves and determine if we really believe in anything...or are we truly becoming a bunch of lemmings heading for the highest cliff in history.
