Thanks so much for posting this.

...And I thought I would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing...

Many of us who know our history were saying the sames things before the election, and people thought we were nuts. Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it.

I think the ultimate clue to what is going on will come from the media. The honeymoon seldom lasts long, but if the allegedly conservative media do not come out swingigng, and the libtards do not turn on DUH1, even a little bit, then the problem is more serious than just Clinton Regime III.

Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders?

Obama never said that this force was for use inside our borders. He also didn't say that the force was to be stronger than the military, only "as strong", and even this is obviously hyperbole.

This essay has been posted to several forums since the election.

Are you the original author?

As a follow-up question, how does a college professor who has "written 15 books in six languages" also have time to serve "four tours in Iraq".

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy

Sure, but American industrial output is stronger than ever, or was as of last week. However something has changed, and that is economic theory. Economic theory has changed completely and nobody is telling what it is now. Capital is no longer in industry, but in the finance industry, almost completely, and that is why Congress is propping up finance and GM et al. are getting crumbs.
