When a nations people have it good, as we do now(for the most part) they become oblivious to what the government is up to until things start to look badly and personal freedoms are lost no one pays attention (more time for American Idol viewing).
That is whart happened to Germany in the mid 30's. They were taken out of a severe depression and by whom? Adolph of course. Now, what with this new found prosperity came a resurgencer in national pride, this of course was engineered so to say by der Feuhrer and his pals. Things were goot, das money wat flowing and suddenly blinf trust in the Government provided the Nazi Party to go where they really wanted to go.
In a way we are heading that way here in the US. Government has tightened the riegns on us. We loose more personal freedom each time a towel head drives a car bomb into a crowded market, 'Homeland Security" passes another bill of lost rights. Chertoff, under political pressure I assure you is using the "threat" word to help buoy the Presidents failing image, nothing more. Show us the proof.
Fortunately or unfortunately maybe we, as a nation have woken up to whats really afoot in D.C. The problem is in order to right our house some sort of revolution has to take place. This can be done at the voting booth but unfortunately both the GOP. the Dems and Independents up for the job all kinda (some really) suck.
Our Government is a mess, plain and simple and something radical needs to be done, soon to save us from ourselves.
