Click here: Historians looking back at this period in America’s development will consider it to be profoundly odd that at the exact moment when violent crime hit a 50-year low, the nation’s police departments began to gear up as if the country were expecting invasion — and, on occasion, to behave as if one were underway.

Click here: This is not going to end pretty. The question is when does society wake up? Just how high will this price be that we have to pay?

We end up with a communist state by default – no wealth, just career politicians who blame everyone but themselves.
