You have to remember Hitler came to power in a country devastated by war, war loses, lot's of pissed off vets looking for revenge, and an economy so bad, people were literally burning the money in cook stoves. Lenin came to power because of Tzarist oppression. The US currently is not as depressed as either Russia or Germany in the days those takeovers happened. Also, this is a country full of people who migrated here to escape tyranny or for the economic opportunities. If anything America is a victim of it's success and the people became dumb, fat, and happy not to mention passive and lazy. The politicians and bankers took advantage of the situation and now we have woken up seeing how screwed we are.

Movements are never one by the majority. They are ran by an organized minority and if push comes to shove in the United States, there are too many people that understand their freedom to let us get rolled. The big problem has been the big money owns the media and candidates. The last few elections I always felt there was nobody decent on the ballot. People gave Barrack Obama the vote because he seemed different and figured he couldn't be any worse than Bush. Now we see he's more of the same, grabbing more power and enslaving us more.

I really think this BP oil blowout is what is going to wake people up. BP is in charge and our government is letting them be in charge, no to mention Goldman Sachs and the BP CEO dumped their shares before the spill. That's fishy. It's like they knew it was going to happen so let's make some money. People are finally pissed and they needed to get pissed a long time ago. I don't see the American people in general being an easy push over. If anything, if push comes to shove, we will ignore Washington DC. What are they doing for us anyways? Killing are kids in war, taking our money, letting abusive and dangerous, multinational corporations take over, let illegal aliens stream in. The Federal Government no longer serves us so why serve it? People are waiting to see how these November elections go, but I wouldn't count out numerous states just saying fuck it, we aren't giving you a thing anymore. Everyone knows the fiat currency system is doesn't work anymore anyways. Why stay on the system when real assets matter. Food, water, energy, shelter are going to be king again not paper promises and IOU's.

Every time Starwood gets frustrated with the current administration, he simply takes a look at this and realizes it could be a hell of a lot worse.

McCain would have bombed Iran already and Sarah Palin would be doing what she is doing now. Pimping her image for money. Obama wants everyone dependant on the government for everything while his corporate friends run everything. McCain would have been less so in this regard but he would still leave the border wide open and probably me likely to start World War III. Sarah would finger herself in the mirror getting off on herself.

Gar would like to publicly thank Starwood for reminding us how fucked up US politics is/are/am, and would like to address the fadt that notthing NO-thing in a Democratic Congressional world occurs without a bit of graft and administrative fee-feeding.

I hope the Gulf victims of the spill get at least 40% of that 20 fucking billion dollars. Fuck Obama! This is an over-reach by any way you choose to look at it!
