I like George Will's editorial in the Post and Courier October 6, 2011. Elizabeth Warren is running for the US Senate. Will says "she clarifies the Liberal Project and the stakes of contemporary politics." I quote, "The project is to dilute the concept of individualism, thereby refuting the individual's zone of sovereignty". That translates to confiscatory tax rates and erosion of individual freedom...Confiscating wealth of the individual. You ought to read the editorial. You can find it at: http://newsok.com/george-f.-will-liberalisms-collectivist-agenda/article/3610575
Liberalism leads us to Socialism. Directly. Those of us who have not educated ourselves about Liberalism ought to do just that. Liberals manipulate people to support their causes. They jump from one single usually popular issue to another without serious regard for unintended consequences like erosion of individual freedoms. We all need to remain vigilant...recognize them for who they are and what they are doing to us as a nation and as individuals. We must keep our politicians focused on the consequences of their actions. For example: 1960's welfare reform, Vietnam war, Getting rid of Glass-Steagall Act and the mindless discarding of credit worthiness standards that almost sunk this country.
Smart people did these things because they were popular causes. But the consequences were ignored or rationalized by a "new economic situation" that was anything but new or different. Washington is not full of geniuses. They are common people just like us who happen, for whatever reasons, to want to be leaders. We cannot afford to sit on our duffs and let them do what they want. We must advise them. We must pay attention and monitor them. The Media won't help us. The Media is busy selling stories for ratings...so they go for the popular themes and miss the common sense consequences. Be vigilant! Get Involved! For your grand children's sake.
