Why would anyone want to be intoxicated?

Because it gives a new, altered experience.

Once you’ve tasted it you’ve got to have it.

Early Americans came here to escape intolerable conditions.

They tasted spiritual courage, and they had to have it.

They tasted freedom, and they had to have it.

They tasted the concept of a unique government, and they had to have it.

Then,

They tasted God’s blessing, and they had to have it.

They tasted expansion, and they had to have it.

They tasted soul-searching revival, and they had to have it.

They tasted recovery, and they had to have it.

They tasted courage and leadership and sacrifice, and they had to have it.

They tasted prosperity, and they had to have it.

They tasted leisure, and they had to have it.

They tasted handouts, and they had to vote for more.

You see, they tasted intoxication at each point, and it drove them on for more—some good, some bad.

And now, America has tasted welfare for 50%+ of Americans, and we can’t go back.  We are intoxicated with government doing for us.

So, what is next—what is new—to intoxicate?

In the world of drugs and alcohol, intoxication usually calls for a more powerful chemical, or more of it.

In the world of politics and power, intoxication also calls for something more powerful, and more of it.

Enter, the dictator.

Only those intoxicated with welfare handouts, can find appeal in the smooth words and free stuff promised by the dictator.

Like all good drug dealing, the stuff is free at first.

Now, America finds itself fascinated with the novelty of a new experience—change.

Very soon, all will see our intoxication with tyranny.  And it’s not pretty.

The lure of lust for power drives the tyrant.

The lure of lust for promised stuff drives the people to their death.
