Rush Limbagh was a guest on Fox News Sunday this week. In his interview with Chris Wallace, Rush articulated one of those obvious fears that many have thought but few have had the courage to actually speak out loud: He believes Obama is trying to deliberately destroy our economy, meaning, of course, that by sinking Capitalism, our administration and congress can rebuild us into a Socialist society.
Commenting Monday evening, Bill O'Reilly took issue with Limbaugh saying, "Why would anyone who wants to get re-elected president try to deliberately destroy our economy?"
You ask a good question, Bill and I have a good answer for you. If private sector jobs are systematically evaporated and replaced with government jobs, more and more people will be dependent upon the government. Even people who do not like Obama and despise big government intrusion into their lives still have to put food on the table and provide for their families. Given the choice between freedom and security, most people will choose security hands down. Those depending on the government for employment are likely to vote for the same government come election time.
I only have one thing to add: After turning us into a Socialist country, Obama will give a speech explaining that it isn't really Socialism.
