And the Fascists running our country today are passing new laws and restrictions as fast as they can.

Sums it up well.

Libs today spout the nonsense that Adolph was a right winger. He was firmly ensconced on the left, meaning he was a socialist.

Good on you, J Carlton.

Anonymous and Jack Green, as usual you miss the point. And don't forget that almost all of our wonderful congress people are now or have been lawyers. Of course some are disbarred and most should be.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Asset forfeiture comes to mind, thanks to the war on drugs. Cops can steal your property for simply suspecting that you have done something wrong. Check it out. LEAP.cc

Meaning that we believe what we want to believe. Some believe that a walking talking snake convinced a woman to eat some fruit and this caused all the trouble since. Pretty obviously a myth but a lot of people who ought to no better still believe that this was an historical event and really happened.

Does anything going on in Washigton now come to mind ? I thought it would.

That's why the "true believers" are the most dangereous.

Probably a good citizen who has followed the treachery going on in Washington now.

It refers to that top down planning by socialists. A good example was the "5 year plans" of the Polit Bureau in the Soviet Union which starved millions of their people. This never worked so about every other year they would have a new 5 year plan which would also never work.

The democrat left is sold out to big government. The "right" doesn't mind big government as long as it rules in their behalf. The only party that really wants smaller, much smaller government along with very low taxes is the Libertarian party.

Check out the trash at the grocery store check-out line.

Fear and tragedy sells newspapers.

The old saw, "Let's not make a federal case out of it", was a joke when someone had a minor problem or was caught doing something wrong. Nowadays, every local "problem" becomes a federal problem requiring the govrnment to solve it. Can't afford those birth control items, don't worry, Obama to the rescue.

And if there is no news to report, they will make some up.

True, and the editorial page is usually full of liberal propaganda.

Yes, deception works havoc but it works pretty well for the politicians in Washington. We keep reelecting the likes of Pelosi, Reid, and Obama.

This is a great quote. Just because something is legal doesn't make it right.

According to Reid, Pelosi, Obama, and the rest of the usual suspects, the debt crisis that we have was the fault of everyone but them.

They'll write anything to sell papers.

Jay Henden, I agree with your comments on Lincoln. A great book on Lincoln is "Lincoln Uber Alles," meaning Lincoln over all. The so-called Great Emancipator" only freed the slaves in the states wanting to seceed. If you lived up North and happened to side with the South, you were headed to a long stretch in prison, thanks to Lincoln's martial law edicts. Licoln was a big government tyrant.

E archer, to answer your question, Yes, Waffler is nuts.

Sometimes true, but it didn't stop Obama Care.
