The second “we” is the one that is not getting noticed–not as such. It is, alarmingly and shamefully, nothing other than the royal “we” which our country, and others, revolted against and found revolting. One part of the arrogance of leftist political figures–sometimes misnamed “leaders”–is the presumption that their own view of morality and government is not only the correct one but the only one. “We” must do this,” no less than in the days of Henry VIII, thus translates to “this is going to be done by those ordained in your name and you had best keep quiet about it and so will you keep your head on your shoulders.”

Undoubtedly, the Marxist/communist junk that is being foisted upon Americans nowadays differs from anything that was prominent in Olde Englande. I am simply pointing out that the current virulent collectivism exists as a philosophy held by certain men, and that those men are foisting it on the nation by, among other things, attempting to gain and exercise control of public debate and of major public means of education and communication. The question is, of course, whether the nation will continue to accept being foisted upon, so to speak. I hope and think not.

Let’s remember back to 1965 when Medicare was foisted on the American people by their so-called political leaders who decided that the government should start practicing medicine. The rest is history.
