wrote in message ... Democrats always fall this cult of personality like they have done for Obama..It is part of their pathology of wanting to be taken care of by a father figure. Remember how many Dems thought papa Joe Stalin was ok and they went into near depression when Krushev denounced him? Remember how many Dems went gaga over Mao? They always do this because the average Dem isnt smart enough to take care of himself so they need an authority figure to tell them what to do. Unfortunately, it's more. It's about power. Scaring the average guy, promising him security and social welfare is a means of building it. Personalities and individuals aside, I believe in a system whereby people are guaranteed the opportunity to take care of themselves and their families, to whatever level they aspire, in whatever legal means they desire. Our social obligation is to provide for those that simply cannot, for whatever physical or mental reason, do it for themselves. It isn't perfect by any means, but we are obligated to continue working at it. One of my fears is that due to the rapid changes in the world today, the global economy, the rise of the economic strength of other nations, that we may be duped into the "security" mode of thinking and lose much of what this country was founded on.
