Abu Hatem أبو حاتم

The main impetus of the growth of Big Government Leviathan, throughout the history of every democratic nation, has been through crisis.  Woodrow Wilson used World War I to centralize government in accordance to his progressive theory of presidential based policymaking.  Franklin Roosevelt took advantage of the Great Depression to bring statism to our shores.  George W. Bush used 9/11 to launch two wars, expand government, and curb civil liberties. Dubya also used a meltdown of our financial sector to bailout banks and begin a new phase in American corporate socialism.

Now, Rahm Emmanuel, Obama’s cheif of staff, tells us we cannot let this financial crisis go to waste.  This can be a serious opportunity for Obama to usher in his new statist liberal agenda!
