Reply #15: The 'old' Soviet Union is a great analogy...

[Q]

...to our present situation. Russians KNEW they were being lied to...but also knew there was nothing they could do beyond calling a lie a lie...in the privacy of their homes. They also had the KGB to worry about...so they couldn't be seen in public protesting the government or their policies.

- That we're 'allowed' to protest doesn't mean much...as our version of the KGB rounds up protesters that haven't broken any law and the CAM downplays the impact and meaning.

- Yes...many people know that Wolfy and Judy are lying to them and trying to prop up the Crown Prince. But they also must be aware that half of America believes this BS without reservation. Their 'team' is winning and that's all they care about. They love free speech as long as their speech isn't censored or oppressed. They don't mind if the other side isn't free to express their opinions in the public forum.

- The next two months are going to be very interesting...and revealing.
