There have been a number of good Beck episodes in the last 2 weeks.

But one of the creepiest (Thursday, Sept 30th) was a show that focused on a book written over 40 years ago called The Road to Serfdom that focuses on how free societies are torn down and converted into authoritarian, brutal, and murderous dictatorships.

One of the guests was an Austrian lady in her 90s, who was 22 at the time of the "anschluss" (or "union") of Austria with Germany in 1937, where 98% of the Austrian people eagerly voted for pan-German union. She described how first the banks were nationalized, then the healthcare system was nationalized.
Does that sound at all familiar?

In addition Obama has taken over student loans, and is attempting to further control private industry and individual citizen use of energy with "Cap and Trade".

E.U. member of parliament Daniel Hannan was also on the program, who has written a book titled The New Road To Serfdom, focusing specifically on the current social and economic refrms in the U.S.

In his words, Europe is now trying to move away from the socialist reforms we are drifitng toward, and said: "We've experienced the reform you are about to implement, and believe me, you won't like it."
