I have long said I wish I could come back in 500 years to read the history books on this time period. The chapters about the deal struck between media and the Obama machine will be like a twisted Hollywood horror plot.

That history was already written a few years ago.

Something about the “Decline and Fall of the Roman Republic” wasn't it?
Bread.
Circuses.
Ever more Blood and sexual excesses.
Corruption in the Senate.
Power only in the hands of the politically connected ....

Absolute rubbish! Crazy talk! That can’t happen here! This is America!

What really sickens me is that people say ‘I don’t understand this’ and seek out some Oracle to divine it all for them. The thing is we have several. All anyone needs to do to is crack the history books because every single move Obama has made has been made several times before. The results mirror each other and it’s a set in stone certainty they will again.

But people refuse to believe that it can, much less ‘will’ happen again. Always excuses about of ‘different’ this is and how much ‘smarter’ and ‘well informed’ we are.

I would put forward that people to unwilling to learn from history are too stupid to deserve knowledge of it’s benefit.

Or the end of the Weimar Republic.

In 49 BC Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon and launched civil war against Sulla. Sulla's defeat in battle was the fall of the Roman Republic. Has little or nothing to do with what we face today.
