The fact that political liberalism and socialism are synonymous is something that any honest observer of the world in which we live can hardly fail to notice. And yet, incredibly, many liberals are seemingly blind to this glaringly obvious reality, or are not honest enough to admit it. The logic of big government liberalism, implicit in the political platform of Barack Obama, is that a perfect world can be brought about by changing the law, which invariably means having more laws, and therefore fewer freedoms. Jesse Jackson Jr. has taken big government liberalism to its logical extreme by demanding that the Constitution be changed to give every student the “right” to an ipod! (I’m not joking.) It seems incredible to me that such idiots can be elected to political office, and yet this would appear to be the price of democracy. The only difference between a feudal or communist tyranny and the tyranny of big government liberal democracy is that those living in the former two political systems are not to blame for their absence or loss of freedom.

Here’s a link to Jesse Jackson Jr.’s speech:
