More laws = less liberty

Obama is turning our country into a quasi-totalitarian state with a big assist from the media and liberal-minded congress. The gradual movement toward Socialism in America that has been evolving for years is making giant strides now that the Democrat party and the most extreme President in history has complete control. Transforming a Free market Democracy into a government-controlled system does not occur in one violent thrust as it does with quasi-totalitarian banana republics in South America and military dictatorships in Africa. It happens one law at a time but steadfastly follows the uncomplicated formula, More Laws = Less Liberty. Our government bureaucrats at the various levels write thousands of laws every single year, thousands go into onto the books, and although well intentioned, they invariably reduce our freedom of choice. You see, the bureaucrats need to do something to justify their comfortable existence and still avoid ruffling any voter feathers by working serious problems. So they pass a myriad of new laws for our own good, because we are simply too stupid and irresponsible to take care of ourselves. We have seat belt laws, smoking bans and restrictions, helmet laws, and nutrition laws for restaurants. Now we have the ban on cell phone hands-on use while driving. The Enterprise Record (aka the Death, Destruction, and Disc Golf Bulletin,) albeit not a far left newspaper by any means, editorialized in support of the law in liberal "it's for your own good" media mode. The article stated that although it was a teeny bit of a Nanny State action, it was ok to erase another of our freedoms since it was for our own good.
