I have been coming across some headlines that reveals the type of country that America is rapidly becoming: "Obama fires GM CEO", "Obama Lowers Mortgage Fees for 3 Million Homeowners", "Obama: Health insurers, not churches, must provide birth control coverage(poll)". When did the president gain this authority? The amount of power that the president and the government in general have/will have makes you step back and look at how far America has moved away from the country as it was founded, and makes you look at America's future through a different prism. History has shown that when any one man or any single entity has this level of power-- whether it is led by people on your side of the political spectrum or not, freedom rapidly gives way to its opposite.
It is easy to dismiss this threat with the notion that it is being created with the best of intentions; but as Hayek pointed out his book The Road To Serfdom, the good intentions of well-meaning socialist end up creating a system that paves the way for a totalitarian political system.
