America is supposed to be the last bastion of freedom, but as far as I can tell our government is as evil as it can be.

You're much too gloomy. The US has always been this way.

Under our 2nd President, criticizing the government would land you in jail.

Through the first half century, only rich landowners could vote.

And blacks and minorities were routinely abused up until recently, when they decided to take over the abusing themselves.

It'll get worse before it gets better, but it'll get better.

FDR managed to steer us into WW2 before things got better after his economic policies created something called the "great depression." I forget if that was the 5th or 6th "great depression" in the US. There have been so many.

Maybe you are right, maybe you are not. As far as I can tell, we are living in 1930’s Germany, and few of us realize just what our government has become. We are in trouble, real serious trouble. Nazism is nothing more than man exercising the greatest possible control over another man, and that is the road we now travel upon.
