Alexis de Tocqueville on Barack Obama's America

Topics: Political News and commentaries
The Minority Report sums up Alexis de Tocqueville's description of a scenario of how despotism could come to the USA:

Alexis de Tocqueville imagines a scenario of how despotism could come to the USA. His scenario does not describe an external force coming into the country with gun ablazing to to overwhelm our citizenry by military force. What it does describe is despotism coming from within by politicians who promise to facilitate your pleasures, and manage and control your unpleasant principal affairs so you won't have to think, and in return just let the government be your shepherd. This philosophy needs to be pointed out to everyone who will listen. Just like Rush said yesterday the philosphy is much more important than the policy and process work with respect the network of small, complicated, painstaking, uniform rules that the Obama administration are unleashing upon us. Don't just whittle around the edges on this stuff. Oppose the entire philosophy of authoritarian despots.

Sound uncomfortably like Barack Obama's America? Read it all, here.
