Me respectable? How dare you call me such a thing!

I happen to agree with Mr. Smith. The Treaty of Versailles made Hitlers rise to power inevitable IMO. When American elected that nasty little cripple Roosevelt into power (along with a Democrat majority) WWII also became inevitable.

When Hitler was elected, inflation in the Weimar Republic was something like 800% annually because of the ridiculous conditions imposed on Germany by France, England, and America. No wonder the German people voted en mass for old Uncle Adolf.

I know you have spent a lifetime looking into these kinds of things Bob, and just for the record I have spent a good amount of my life looking long and hard at the kinds of things Mr. Neil posits in this article as well.

If Bill Clinton had been given anything remotely resembling the PATRIOT Act under damn near any circumstances I can imagine, there would be outright armed rebellion going on right now and you know it.

But somehow because GWB (a man you yourself have characterized as being wholly in over his head BTW) we are all supposed to relax and believe that everything will be fine. Well my friend, I ain't buying it.

Things are going to get a whole lot uglier in America before they get any better. It won't be long before there are 'respectable' voices crying out for some 'temporary internment facilities' for a whole bunch of brown people who happen to profess their faith to a certain religion if you get my drift. Perhaps we will pass a law making them wear a yellow crescent on their sleeves or something.....

Thanks for asking about the tooth. We are now working on number three and each one gets progressively easier although the Tooth Fairy pays a heck of a lot better than in my day.

Take care of yourself Bob.

That the treaties made things excessively hard on Germany and contributed to instability is true. However, I don't think that was Wilson's plan and there is no need for exaggeration for describing it. Wilson was just a stupid and somewhat deceptive man in the wrong place.

As far as my relaxing, I have a few people who would like to kill me. The next article in the series will make me even less liked by liberals and the Bushs. My stuff wasn't banned of the Federal ISP by the Clinton White House because I'm relaxed.

Greetings, my friend. It's good to see you're still cutting through the bs with a clear voice.

I'm sorry to say that one of my first thoughts, on 9/11, was, "How is this going to effect our freedoms?!" (as U.S. citizens)

Many were expecting some ploy to be used under Clinton/Reno, to further,and severely, curtail our liberties. I am not among those who believe our own government had anything to do with the events that occured on 9/11. However, if misguided efforts to increase "security", in reaction to those events, have the same result, then we are in exactly the same place to which the dreaded "ploy" would have taken us.

Franklin's words have never had more meaning.

The only hope left is that the government will realize that we are not the problem nor are we the enemy.
