While I do think that the article over-disses Jim Robinson, in every other way it is totally accurate and correct. Those of you who don't see the parallels between the current blind patriotism and what happened in Hitler's Germany obviously haven't read much about Hitler's Germany. Human nature hasn't changed. The people who founded this country were quite aware of the fallacies of human nature, and they tried to prevent it from doing evil to the country they were building by putting in place a government based upon law - a Constitution and Constitutional checks and balances - rather than upon the whims of men. But, over the decades, "our" government (which is supposed to represent and work for We the People) has gradually slipped away from following that Constitution and the checks and balances it provides until today we have government by fiat and whim. The so-called "Patriot" act is the icing on the unconstitutional cake.

I am an American. I used to be proud to be an American. But I'll tell you something - the flag I hung in my living room window after 9/11 had 13 stars, not 50 - because what that 50-star flag represents is no longer the free country that so many gave their lives and fortunes to found 225 years ago. And there is very little sacred honor left among those who "lead" us today.

I wish it were not so. But all the sheep-like "patriotic" bleating since 9/11 is really no different than what the German masses did when Herr Hitler came to power. People, you'd better wake up, and soon - because if you don't, the fate of this country is going to be far far worse than what happened in Germany.

Please outline solutions.

Jim Robinson, by the way, is an American "patriot" of the highest order.

But, again, please outline solutions to the "Hitleresque" patriotism you see as the major problem in our country today re: blindness to what is coming for America.

The march towards statism is one that is horrendous in its potential destructiveness - but I am asking - where and how would you stop it?

What can an "ordinary Ameircan do"????

I think Jim Robinson has done more than most "ordinary Americans" could do to facilitate shining the light of TRUTH on the events of our day - don't you?

However, we have been attacked by an enemy of our nation. I know memories are short. But I will never forget September 11th.

Of course the totalitarians in our government want to use September 11th to install their version of the "third reich" in America.

I am asking you - what else - besides provide a forum where the light of truth can shine on events as they progress - can one person do????

Those of you who don't see the parallels between the current blind patriotism and what happened in Hitler's Germany obviously haven't read much about Hitler's Germany.

Tell you what. We will see where we end up in 2-3 years, and see who looks like a fool. You or me.
