That's the title of a
recent story in "The Economist," and the question was asked as
if this was as "normal" as anything else. Like a change in the
weather. But what does it mean if "America is Turning Left?" It means
the government is "taking over" all decisions. It is
"collectivism." Look it up if you don't know what it is. You don't
want it. You have nothing left that you can decide after "America Turns
Left." The Soviet Union was an excellent example of a country that had
"turned left." The government will either own everything or merely
CONTROL everything. You will own NOTHING and control NOTHING. There will be
NOTHING in your life for which you don't have to go "hay in hand,"
"tugging your forelock," to a "faceless bureaucrat" for
permission to do what you'd like to do with property YOU used to own, but which
the government just "took over." You won't be able to decide where to
live, where to work, or how much you will accept to work. All that will be
"assigned" by that faceless bureaucrat. Everything will happen
"for the good of the people," never "for the good of the
individual. Your wishes will be submerged into the needs of the group. You
won't be allowed a house. You will be forced to live in an apartment owned by a
"collective." You won't have a car or if you do, they;ll tell you what kind, and where you can drive it. Or they will force you to travel
around by public transportation, where you will be "on display" for
muggers, thieves, rapists, and such, and will be at their mercy because you
will not be allowed ANY kind of a defensive weapon. They will tax you
unmercifully to pay for all this. This is what it means to "turn
left." Is that what you want? The Economist doesn't think it's such a bad thing, but what will happen to their readers if it happens WILL be bad. (The Economist)
