Are We Becoming Totalitarian?

"The chance of imposing a totalitarian regime on a whole people depends on the leader's first collecting round him a group which is prepared voluntarily to submit to that totalitarian discipline which they are to impose by force upon the rest." (The Road To Serfdom, F A Hayek, edited by Bruce Caldwell; The University Of Chicago Press, 2007; p 159)
Is this where we are heading or at least where BO and the ruling class is trying to lead us?  It is beginning to look like the ruling class would love to have a totalitarian regime.  BO has said he wants to drastically reform America.  He never said where he wanted to take us, except to spread our wealth around.  And he has certainly collected around him a group which is prepared to voluntarily submit to the totalitarian discipline and to impose it by force on the rest of us.  Why do you think they bought so many double barreled shotguns for the IRS after BO became president.  They obviously are expecting to force us to submit to the totalitarian regime at the end of a barrel of a double barreled shotgun.
The excuse they give so often is that we need to move faster than the Constitution allows the government to move.  Gridlock in WDC really distrubs the totalitarians because it does not allow them to move with speed to accomplish their tasks.  And so FDR admired Benito Mussolini because he accomplished wonderful things in a short period of time.  And so BO followers admire Mao Tsetung because he was a wonderful philosopher who could accomplish marvelous things with great speed.
Aha! That is exactly why our Constitution was written to tie government up.  Haste makes waste and also totalitarian regimes.  Isn't it interesting that today when our government needs to get something done, it is under the duress of an emergency.  They use deadlines to make everyone feel like we must move with speed and as a result no one gets a chance to calmly consider whatever legislation or executive order is being proposed.  This is a wonderful environment for creating a totalitarian regime, one that rules from executive order and not from carefully considered legislation.  But to get the work done with speed and haste we need to delegate to czars the power to make decisions for the rest of us.  The problem is we have czars who are self-proclaimed socialists/communists/nazis/fascists.
But a bigger problem for us are the ruling class in Congress who will not resist the movement toward totalitarianism in our executive branch.  Is it because they feel the need for totalitarianism or is it because they have no spine and just wilt in the face of these totalitarians.  Either way, we need to find a way to move that ruling class out and move in some who will shrink our government back to Constitutional size.
