lt’s like l’ve said well over a year ago on the Alan Colmes show, “Legally stealing other people’s money has become the opiate for the 21st century.” The typical “American” has no problem being ignorant, simple-minded, dumb, and souless as long as the “free” $ keeps rolling in. lf l may get philosophical for a moment, the biggest problem that we humans have is conformity – blind obedience. Way back when there was only a dozen of us roaming the planet, there was probably some slick-tongued schmuck in the group that promised the others that there lives will be a lot better if they just make him The Chief, sound familiar? Here’s my favorite example: we’re going to create a bloated government that has a plethora of alphabet agencies to spy on its citizens, and if that’s not enough, you can even contact one of these agencies if you think your neighbor is acting “funny,” and we’ll pay for this with a “progressive” tax system that will become so complex and convoluted that NO ONE will be able to comprehend it, and therefore everyone will become subservient towards it. And we’ll do all of this to…well, to…umm, FIGHT communism. Yeah, that’s it! We’re, uhmm…FIGHTING communism. Now if you’ll excuse me. l really need to jump off of my soap box and into bed. Nighty night.

Yep, and it’s funny that those who scream the loudest about believing in individual freedoms and liberty are the first to want to eradicate anyone who might believe in communism, socialism, atheism, or any other idea that they themselves disagree with. I think it’s called hypocrisy.
