Equilibrium. Pills so we have no emotion, no books no movies no video games no weapons we only watch Obama speaking to us on tv 24/7. Then we will be okay.
Well, Kurt Vonnegut predicted close to your post years ago. A short story called Harrison Bergeron. It's not that far fetched anymore.
Here's a bit of the background. I think we should make the story a sticky. It is America's future under the maniacal liberals.
"It is the year 2081. Because of Amendments to the Constitution, every American is fully equal, meaning that no one is smarter, better-looking, stronger, or faster than anyone else.
The Handicapper General and a team of agents ensure that the laws of equality are enforced.
The government forces citizens to wear "handicaps" (a mask if they are too handsome or beautiful, earphones with deafening radio signals to make intelligent people unable to concentrate and form thoughts, and heavy weights to slow down those who are too strong or fast)."

From Welcome to the Monkey House. It's worth the read.
