Good question. ...It doesn't appear that there are many on this forum that don't swallow the entire government line. One would hope we could protest this thing peacibly and convince our leaders of their folly. ...However, I fear to the core of my heart itself, that their path was planned a long time ago. ...God help us.
I'm sure that it's been in the works for at least 70 years, probably longer. If I were to think about where this country went wrong, it is the Civil War. From that point on, the slide to tyranny was inevitable. There MIGHT have been those who were plotting behind the scenes BEFORE that, but they were effectively powerless until the Civil War took place. Then again, perhaps they were responsible for THAT as well....
