Obama's Socialism ... Historical Perspective

I ran across this quote, and wanted to share it. The difficulties we face as Obama's agenda seeks to force us into Socialism have been seen and recognized before ....

"Democracy and Socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while Democracy seeks equality in liberty, Socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude."
- Alexis de Tocqueville, French Philosopher 1805-1859

Perfect, thanks for the reference -- I needed this for a discussion in the office yesterday! Guess I will just have to bring up the subject again to inject my new insight! lol
