Liberal Democrats Hate Democracy

A friend of mine set this paragraph to me as an insight into the possibility of our country surrendering to fear and, consequently, our lose of freedom to the terrorists and the Marxists in our own government

Our current political/media induced stupor reminds me of France in 1940. Everyone in France knew that the Germans were going to come over theborder ,soon, and that France was not going to be able to stop them unless the nation put on a massive program to update their military anddefensive positions.

But, the divisions within the society were too deep to mend, no one was willing to change what they had been doing forthe past 20 years, and few were willing to cooperate with their political enemies.

Within the military, a chain of command that was mostlyout of touch with reality, and steeped in politics could not find the will to address problems that they knew were critical to stopping the coming German invasion. The civilians partied and pretended to each other that all was well and the future secure, while each knew in their hearts that disaster was approaching with an inevitability that was terrifying; yet most felt helpless to do anything about it.

France in 1940 was a society in stasis, paralyzed, so politically divided that it was unable to act to defend itself. The U.S. in 2007 is in very much the same position.

I fear for our country!
