    • Blind sheep is one extreme but folowing "The question is not if you are paranoid, it is are you paranoid enough?" is the other extreme.

      Which is going to make more progress? Being cynical before the fact is not very helpful. Some other advice would be more useful

      "Trust, but Verify"

    • That is a bit outdated, since that has not been the way Obama has approached problems.

      If there was another terrorist attack, the reaction wouldn't be to declare martial law since that would be opposite to his "community organizer" approach.

      Even in the example given do you really think that if Obama had been president during Katrina that he would've sent Blackwater in to deal with it in that manner? That also goes against the grain of the "community organizer" approach

      Yes and Obama farts rainbows.

      Obama voted for the USAPATRIOT act, and voted to take away my rights to sue Verizon over the illegal wiretapping they did by voting for Telecom Immunity.

      He also voted to expand presidential powers to the point of being a federal offense in regards to FISA.

      And his whitepapers on his campaign website show that his plans for Iraq include leaving private mercenaries like Blackwater at the permenant military bases.

      Don't be to Obama what the right-wing was to Bush-- blind sheep.

    • A lot more of this kind of government outsourcing on the way.... And we have no one to blame but ourself because we are a 21st century society more self centered then any other generation. We're not willing to stand up & fight the corruption we're let grow over the last 30 something years. My dad use to tell me (& I believe there was a song with these very words)..
      "You have to stand for something, or you'll fall for anything!" I'm beginning to wonder at my mid age if there is anyone out there that strongly believes in something, they'd be willing to fight & die for (Outside of our Military, & or Law Enforcement).

      IMO.... Since the invention of welfare, our government has been conditioning citizens, starting in public grade schools.. to depend on the government for support (financial & physical protection). I'm not saying this was deliberately put into place, but I am saying its cause & effect... (so to speak)

    • Thanks for posting. More people need to watch this. I was horrified to find out that Blackwater was actually used in New Orleans. Just disgusting.
