Tyranny is the worst form of government, but societies are drawn to it like gravity. It takes constant effort to thwart it.

***

The biggest flaw in the human body is its tendency to bend at the knees.

What we should really fear is left wing tyranny the kind like in the UK and Germany where you can’t speak ill of Muslims without going to jail.

Its happening here too. the left is contantly trying to criminalize dissent.

that is what we should fear most.

Here's one way to identify a neocon, without fail:

They believe there is a political, social, moral, lawgiving entity called "the world". Sometimes, they call it the "international community".

Of course, there is no such thing.

After the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991, democracy was supposed to be irresistible.

The above is wishful thinking at it's worst... totally delusional. Primed to cause failure and disaster...

Democracy without a culture of 'self control and ability to delay gratification' would devolve into Venezuela or worse. Stalin was a response to the chaos caused by 'hunger without discipline' he wasn't the cause. Europe - with unrestrained 'immigration' from 3rd world hellholes - will not be able to maintain the structures that make democracy possible either. And that within a few decades.

The world is descending into tyranny

The world is ALWAYS descending into tyranny.

Any student of history knows that. There are small pockets of order and stability for a brief moments sandwiched in between large slices of people killing other people to get on top.

There is always some bunch of jerks who wants nothing more then to be able to boss other people around. The only thing that differs is how clever and brutal they are willing to be to get it.

Peters was suspended from Fox in December 2015 for running his yap about Zerobama.

I'd bet money that the NSA was instructed by Bammy to collect "interesting" information about Peters.

Suddenly, he started supporting Hillary, and even voted for Hillary.

I'd be fascinated (or maybe sickened) to see what the manila envelope he got from the Deep State contained...

Ralph Peters is an a$$hole. This Hilllary supporter and voter deserves no exposure on FR for his ridiculous views. Peters just issued his departure letter resigning from being a Fox news contributor because it was too pro-Trump. Idiot.

A man's gotta say what the Deep State tells him to say when the Deep State's got the goods on him...

I believe Trump being elected is Gods way of saying “One last chance America”.

“With his relentlessly propagandized image at home”

Kind of like the MSM’s portrayal of the chosen one, Obama.

Ralph Peters is a phony, Never Trump POS. As a result, anything written by him is not worth taking the time to read.

No mention of Merkel’s stasi Germany, May’s fascist England, or South Africa. The writer has no credibility.

Human nature doesn’t change. Tyranny will always be a danger:

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”
- President Ronald Reagan.
