True. The information age has woken millions like you and me out of our uniform worshiping fog. It's not 1972 anymore, when (we thought) only liberals and Black Panthers criticized police.
But what's scary is that, I fear you are naive about human nature. People WANT a tyranny! I used to be like the Bushies and think everyone dreamed of living under our beautiful Constitution. Heck, AMERICANS despise freedom! Stalin is still wildly popular in Russia. After years of trying to explain that away, I understand why now. And I think I know what Germans think of Hitler when they're in private.
Instant info goes both ways. Just as we see government corruption up close, politicians can see that the authoritarian position always polls better. We're hosed!
“People WANT a tyranny! I used to be like the Bushies and think everyone dreamed of living under our beautiful Constitution. Heck, AMERICANS despise freedom!”
Okay, you lost me there. If you have that bleak of an outlook, why are you wasting your time on Free Republic? Free Republic is about sharing information to protect liberty stem the tide of tyranny.
It’s not about wringing your hands like it’s all over and we can’t win. We FIGHT.
What you posted is the mentality of a LOSER. It’s the mentality of a coward and a whining defeatist. I can’t stand it. WE FIGHT ON, and we stand up for truth.
Plus what you posted is not true, it’s absolute ridiculous garbage.
Please don’t ever make a post like that to me again.
