What the Obama Administration has in store for this country represents the danger of voting for a Democrat these days. Not to say the Republicans are without flaws, as we have seen with the reckless spending and growth of government under the Bush Administration. The Republicans have certainly lost their way and have abandoned many of their conservative principles, which is why the Democrats now control the government.

But whatever their weaknesses, at least the Republicans do not try to take your money away, nor your Constitutional rights. Here is a partial list of the damage done by putting liberal Democrats in charge of the country:

- Attack First Amendment (i.e. reinstate a backdoor ‘Fairness Doctrine’)

- Attack Second Amendment (i.e. reinstate so-called ‘Assault Weapons’ ban)

- Raise taxes (i.e. letting the Bush tax cuts expire - yes, the effect is an increase)

- Weaken national defense (i.e. against missile defense systems)

- Activist judges who legislate from the bench (i.e. Ginsburg)

- Push America further into socialism (i.e. “spread the wealth around”)

Most Democratic politicians, and the intelligentsia, do not believe in liberty or the foundational principles this country was founded on, despite paying lip service to the contrary.

For example, the Left does not respect free speech, as is seen by their desire in reviving an alternative version of the so-called ‘Fairness Doctrine’, which in typical Orwellian fashion is about as unfair as can be. However, they will end up calling it something else (watch for words like “localism” and “airwave neutrality”) and use a different means to the same ends. How can you claim ‘fairness’ while creating a monopoly and silencing opposition?

Another Orwellian act from the Left is the so-called ‘Employee Free Choice Act’, or “Card Check” that was introduced in the U.S. Congress. Employee free choice sounds good, right? Liberals are experts at twisting words and manipulating people with disinformation and lies. What this Act will do is effectively eliminate our right to vote by private ballot when deciding whether to join a union, and undermine our right to freely negotiate contracts. The Union will then know who voted against them and harass that person, or take any number of other retributive actions.

So why are modern liberals so interested in taking away our liberties and making government bureaucrats our rulers? What is it about collectivism that is so attractive to them, regardless of its historical failures?
