"Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others."

"One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."

Ayn Rand

Rand put it best in her 1973 article, “Censorship: Local and Express”:

“The conservatives see man as a body freely roaming the earth, building sand piles or factories -- with an electronic computer inside his skull, controlled from Washington . The liberals [the Democrats] see man as a soul freewheeling to the farthest reaches of the universe -- but wearing chains from nose to toes when he crosses the street to buy a loaf of bread.”

Further on, she notes:
“…Each camp wants to control the realm it regards as metaphysically important; each grants freedom only to the activities it despises….. ‘Control,‘ to both camps, means the power to rule by physical force. The conservatives want to rule man’s consciousness; the liberals, his body.”

Change?

Let's see if I got this right.

G.W. Bush started spending 100's of billions of dollars to "save the economy". B.H. Obama is spending 100's of billions of dollars to "save the economy".

G.W. Bush surged troop levels in Iraq to help defeat the insurgents. B.H. Obama is surging troop levels in Afghanistan to help defeat the insurgents (in Pakistan?).

G.W. Bush set a time table to withdraw the troops from Iraq by 2012. B.H. Obama has set a time table to withdraw troops from Iraq by 2012.

G.W. Bush didn't have a clue. B.H. Obama doesn't have a clue.

Oh, and half the Clinton administration is working for B.H. Obama.

Change? The only change coming out of this administration is his attempt to change America from a free, Capitalist nation, to a collectivist, socialist one.
