pay attention. Even then a good share will blame the intellectuals and opt for a dictator when things get real tough.

Third the political corruption is so systemic that it is almost an impossible task to weed it out. Where do you find enough honest politicians with guts enough to do the right thing. Pres Obama not only will not prosecute the war criminals, some think he may pardon them.

D. The problem isnt the Republicans, they are simply a tool, but the capitalistic corporatists. And not only has our president not fought them, he openly embraces them.

> Things have been getting worse for the last 40 years, yet the American public still drinks the koolaide, still watches NBC and CNN and swallows the propaganda. I do not see this turning around. I do not see strong progressive leaders that are strong enough to fight for our freedoms. At some point the 1% Elite will decide it's time for a revolution and turn their brown shirts loose.

Please, please, when they come for the intellectuals fight like hell.
