Once we have a definition, which as I suspected is quite confusing to the conservative mind, WHY do you believe the country is headed that way?

First of all you know exactly what it means, as do the rest of us. But if you need a definition: Its an economic system in which the central government is substantially in control of goods and services rather than by private enterprise.
Also it is in Marxist Theory the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism.
Your statement "no ism is good or bad, its all how the "ism" is applied" is beyond comprehension.
Tell me where in history has communism been practiced that you could call it a good.
