Liberalism to Socialism

I saw a post on one of my Conservative friend's Facebook page talking about how Liberals are trying to turn the U.S. into a Socialist country, and how our "liberties" are being removed on a daily basis. My question is what "liberties" are being taken away, and if it's occuring on a daily basis then what liberty did they lose today? These same people did not raise their voice's in outrage during the time of Bush's illegal wiretapping, talk about losing a liberty! This is rhetoric to me, and it's dangerous, fueling dissent and these people are not happy with anything at this time in history. We should be wary because these people have mindsets which are on the verge of anarchy and they are people who cannot be reasoned with. They all profess to be Christians, support the NRA, and support such people as Sarah Palin and Rick Perry.
