Hayek's warning...

This post by Peter Cresswell of Not PC sums up a slow yet prevailing national movement towards a more statist and big government political ideology. This move to the Left is by no means a recent phenomenon, as it does have some foundation in the current atmosphere in Washington, D.C.

F.A. Hayek warned in "The Road to Serfdom," that a slow and incremental movement towards a welfare state, and then even more collectivism, may jeopardize all citizens' freedoms.
