I spent most of my professional years exercising the power of the state at the modest level of state prosecution. What so many people on both the right and left don't understand is that any exercise of power involves human sin. Not all policeman are heroes. A lot of prosecutorial decisions are EVIL. Believe me, you DON'T want to give your healthcare choices over to the State.
The simple formula is this: markets create, markets destroy, and private entities can be sued or regulated -- not to mention the fact that businesses, like a free press and a free church, operate to modify impositions of evil. Government is . . . . authoritarian. Government demands obedience; business cannot, unless the State backs it. I consider it either stupid or treasonous to sit there and blithely talk about what the government can do for you. That's fine if you're Dutch or Cuban, but don't bring that crap to my country. The power of the state is a military power: it should only be used where force is necessary. Is that too abstract for ya?
Mark Steyn: Obama's War on Choice
What we've seen since Obama took office is a carefully orchestrated plan to put an over-arching authoritarian structure in place -- one that can't be challenged. It startles me that so many people can't see it when it's right in front of them: taking over car companies, taking over the banking and finance industries, putting Czars in place, elevating unions to the top of the power structure. It's one thing to prevent Enrons; it's quite another to put the State into business as your Daddy, because Daddy has guns and jails, see?
M.J. Motley connects the dots in Obama and Neosyndicalism. You guys need to confront your "liberal" friends about this before it's too late.
