U.S. moving away from democracy to socialism

Wednesday, November 18, 2009 12:19 AM EST

I am a legal American citizen and proud to live in the land of the free. But, more and more, I see this United States heading toward socialism and away from democracy.
We need less government. Today, government owns banks. Now they want to own health care, and soon they'll be banning our rights to bear arms.

They took prayer out of schools. The government laws have made it illegal to discipline our own children. Parents fear jail.

Schools are wanting to put kids on all sorts of drugs so they can teach them, yet nothing is done about school gangs.

Without some sort of discipline at home some kids have no respect for themselves or others. Yes, some parents give kids too much, some not enough.

The government now wants to tax fast foods, junk food, soda, etc., so they can control what you eat, like they control high prices on beer and cigarettes.

" rd, we socialists accept everyone! This is not a Theocracy, which would certainly take serious issue with an opposing point. "

" Catherine Anne Kenyon Hoyt--sheesh, could ya fit one MORE name in there?

Your letter is an expression of fear-mongering, and a virtual admission that you are a Beck-head or a dittohead. This is embarrassing enough without me needing to refute the silliness of your letter. Please change the channel. "

" NoHope--it's sad that in this day and age that someone like you doesn't yet recognize the lessons of history, and the dangers and proven mistake of indoctrinating children in school with one religious creed or prayer.

Do you know why this law was so wisely written into the Constitution by our own Founding Fathers?

EXACTLY because History had shown the danger and abuses that this kind of sectarian coercion produced. You should study your History--those that do not learn from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them. "

" So we should have no laws then, NoHope? Not everyone agree with or supports religion/prayer, but nearly all can agree we shouldn't murder, rape, assault etc. In a truly free country those things should be legal? All Law is government control. Religion is an opinion, which can rightfully be expressed, but not imposed on others. "

" Somehow I fail to understand this....

It's perfectly okay for the government to orchestrate how we must live our lives, but it's a crime for schools to orchestrate the occurance of prayer for our children.

Somewhere allong the line, we have grossly misplaced our priorities. "

" Socialism is an economic system-like Capitalism. Democracy is a system of governance- like Dictatorship. A nation could be Democratic and Socialist. I understand some of your concerns, but I strongly agree with any decision to keep school sanctioned prayer out of public schools. Students should be free to pray in school as long as the school isn't orchestrating it's occurence. "
