I love the irony that leftist complain about this machine the government is becoming, while all they do is play cheerleader and advocate for government growth and control.
Totalitarianism doesn't sprout up from The Patriot Act, military tribunals, or an unpopular war. If the path to totalitarianism was so obvious, dictatorships would be a rare occurrence. Totalitarianism emerges as the individual becomes institutionalized by the state. By entrusting our essential services to the Federal government, we literally hand them the levers of power over us. By handing them power over our education, our health, our retirements, and our modes of communication (among other things), we are willfully marching into a dark future by allowing ourselves to be institutionalized, as the government simply becomes the administrators of the asylum.
