Anyone who looks at the masthead of my blog can see one of my favorite quotes is: "Better starve free than be a fat slave." - Aesop

With their promises of universal health care, "jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs", saving the climate (as if humans can control everything), ad infinitum, ad nauseum, the Democrats are working at a frenzied pace to create fat slaves. We already have the fattest poor people in history. Largely, these same poor people are the most dependent on the government.

Which is fine as long as they vote Democrat as often as possible. Indeed, Democrats have their own federally funded organization, ACORN, to help ensure the poor slaves vote for them.

Using an onslaught of legislation, the Democrats aim to create a government in which greater numbers of citizens are forced into dependency on the government. People who work hard to earn enough money to remain independent will be punished by being forced to support the others.

An unfortunate leap Americans often make when thinking of slavery is to look only at American slavery. During ancient Roman and Greek times, slaves were often treated quite well and lived in relative luxury, but they were still slaves. The great irony of Aesop's quote is that he, himself, was a slave.

Many will want to pick apart my claims and analyze the details to "prove" the Democrats aren't working towards enslavement. But, analysis is often a circular process that proves nothing and neither begins nor ends. Consider this:

The core of Krishnamurti's teaching is contained in the statement he made in 1929 when he said: "Truth is a pathless land." Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection.

Knowing that laws are easier to pass than repeal, the Democrats hope to establish laws that greatly increase the power of government over the individual. Unfortunately, too many find Independence and self-reliance too frightening and gladly enter into enslavement, especially when they think they're getting something for nothing.

My son tells me I need to give some examples. I feel if you've been observing the news, you don't need examples. But here are some:

• The EPA suppressing a report contradicting popular global warming theory
• In the mean time, Obama wants to force us to us only light bulbs approved by him in order to fight global warming
• Pelosi and Reid intend to hide the contents of the health care bill as long as possible
• Self-appointed left-wing vigilantes are attacking free speech. A big part of their meme is that right wing speech is terrorism.
• The speaker of the California assembly call right wing radio terrorism. Must be part of their talking points.
• Simply put, every significant piece of legislation passed by the Democrat Congress and supported by Obama gives the federal government more control over individuals and businesses.

We will see a society with a permanent underclass, which we pretty much already have, brainwashed into believing the government is their only hope, in particular a Democrat run government. Democrats will make sure there is plenty of free or cheap housing, food stamps, etc. Democrats will also make sure that this underclass continues to be an underclass falsely believing the Democrats are their only hope.

We will see a middle class and upper class that carries the burdens of society. (This we already have, also. It will just become more pronounced.) As I said above, they will pay a heavy penalty in taxes for being independent and self-reliant. Government will control them through threat of imprisonment as they have the most to lose. Like Joe the Plumber, if you raise a stink you will be the subject of investigations and more.

And we will have an ever more powerful ruling class. A ruling class that thinks they're royalty rather than public servants. A ruling class that thinks they're royalty rather than public servants. A ruling class that thinks they're royalty rather than public servants. I could go on and on here, but if you don't get the point by now, you're too blind to see.
