When Adolf Hitler was building up the Nazi movement in the 1920s, leading up to his taking power in the 1930s, he deliberately sought to activate people who did not normally pay much attention to politics.

McCain: "Master, when do I get my thirty pieces of silver?"
Obama: "Now, now, John. Be patient. All will be well after we grant amnesty to all my illegal alien brethren!"
I totally agree. Socalism-fascism-communism are completely at odds and war against freedom, liberty & the free enterprise capitalist system. It is time to divide the country in two.... all liberals & those who voted for 0bozo on one side, and the conservatives & patriots on the other side. They get their socialist country and we get the free country....and never let the RAT bastard socialists move back into our half of the country. We are fundamentally at war against socialism, moral decay & massive government regulation & control.... give the bastard their own country and we get our own country.
A large role here is played by the millions who elect morons to office, also known as “elect-rons” ;-)
Awesome chmical analysis!

DUH!
Darned disappointing that Sowell would use such an absurd title...
More precisely:
"Is Can The U.S. Now On Get Off The Slippery Slope To Tyranny?"
“Now that most of the former *conspiracy theories* are coming to light, perhaps an awakening will occur.”
Suddenly all the conservatives thought to be paranoid are looking pretty brilliant, aren’t they! I can only imagine the Americans who are scratching their heads and really beginning to question silly notions like B.O.’s eligibility, Muslim roots, and traitorous actions.
No offense, but I’m for dismantling “democracy.” Restore the Republic and end mob rule!
We can't touch the puppeteers from within our political realm. We can not vote them out.
No offense taken. And you are correct.
