I fear for the future when I realize that our once-free institutions —political, economic, educational, and social—have been drifting into the hands of those who favor the welfare state, and who would ‘centralize all power in the hands of the political apparatus in Washington. This enhancement of political power at the expense of individual rights, so often disguised as ‘democracy’ or ‘freedom’ or ‘civil rights,’ is ‘socialism,’ no matter what name tag it bears.’
