I've been saying for a long time I sense this country moving toward ever increasing restrictions on freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.
Doesn't matter if you're Christian...if you are a believer in freedom of speech and freedom of assembly this is chilling...http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,522637,00.html
Additionally, I found this speech excerpt from Churchill on Socialism. Aligns exactly with our current political movements (both right and left, though the left seems much more intent on it...)
"No Socialist government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free,sharp,or violently worded expressions of public discontent. They would have to fall back on some sort of Gestapo,no doubt very humanely directed in the first instance.
And this would nip opinion in the bud; it would stop criticism as it reared its head,and it would gather all the power to the supreme party and the party leaders,rising like stately pinnacles above their vast bureaucracies of Civil servants,no longer servants and no longer civil.
And where would the ordinary simple folk - the common people,as they like to call them in America - where would they be,once this mighty organism had got them in its grip?"

I did cringe a little bit reading that article!
"where would they be, once this mighty organism had got them in its grip?"
What, the answer to this is not "better off"? That's what most of America seems to think right now.
I echo Peaby with a loud... "UGH"
It is frustrating to see government getting bigger and bigger (even at the county level where I work)... especially when the "R's" are going along with it.
