Walk beside me… just be my friend”

“Liberals just did not understand the real world, he claimed. They were “essentially humanitarian and altruistic in purpose,” but by making the working man dependent on the state for his well-being, they were advancing the country “one more step toward total socialism, just beyond which lies total dictatorship.” Such people think “the government owes us a living because we were born.” Dependence upon state handouts, he asserted, “must be repudiated everywhere.”
― William I. Hitchcock, The Age of Eisenhower: America and the World in the 1950s
