The goal of both major political Parties along with the splinter groups is the total and complete destruction of the Government of the United States of America. Then one Political Party will emerge and rule. And the population will be totally dependent upon them. Their goal is Hitler type control of the people. Where he controlled what the people did, thought, and said. Hitler never quite achieved this. Though he tried. But these People will for a number of reasons: 1.) The population are being conditioned to depend more and more on a Government Program, rather than their own initiative to achieve their needs. 2.) The People act more on their emotions and feelings rather than looking at facts and reasoning issues through.
