Regretfully Agree

I think Ann Coulter can have a good idea and a good message, but I also think she usually tries to make her point too aggressively, and sometimes just rude. I understand that though because she wants to sell books and articles and I understand that right now, snarky comments and mild insults seem to sell really well on both sides of the political spectrum. However, I do not discount the content of a good message when it is there. Ms. Coulter is correct that we have now become more of a socialist society than any other time previously. I hate to admit it, but I think the term "socialist-democracy" would fit all too well with America right now. I simply do not understand why there are so many people that purposefully want to relinquish their personal responsibilities, and accordingly their person freedoms, to the government. What makes them think, or believe (if I may use that "religious" term, especially in connection with the current administration), that the government can and will do a better job of taking care of their needs and wants than they will. I am afraid we will now pay the price for having the larger portion of voting Americans fit that description.
