This, though, is the religion of statism distilled to its essence. Yep.... Mrs Obama is talking about salvation through government action. Those who don't learn from past mistakes will repeat them... and it seems that millions of Americans never did learn -- or, haven't been taught. Otherwise, how could such crap fly? Americans do not have a shared direct experience of any of the more vicious forms of statism. We need to learn from other people's histories, but - unfortunately - we allowed neo-Marxists to become too influential in the teaching professions. It is possible that we may have become susceptible to collectivist seductions.
