You do not see how collectivism can detour into socialism if we are not careful? "Help the government to help you" "you let down your country if you don't do this"
It's just a look at the various stages that bring countries to the social and economic systems that they have. It doesn't happen overnight; and, agree or disagree, that is just an observation of people's fear of the potential. It isn't a prediction.

Obviously, I have a problem with it. People unfairly criticized G.W. all the time and called him dumb. Some people did that everytime G.W. was mentioned. At least G.W. hadn't convinced himself that he was such an eloquent and influential leader that he had to CONSTANTLY talk to us about something.
We are going down a dark road and setting a bad precedent when the POTUS will not shut up. The POTUS is not THE White House representative and we do have a system of checks and balances that should never be blurred.
For many people, it conjures up Stalinist images of a "leader" whose power is taken to a new height via nonstop speeches to the masses and an eventual "cult of personality."
