AND READ GRANNY'S POST OF 2/19: "ANOTHER STATESMAN HEARD FROM"

Don't wory, it's only 1 paragraph. Won't take but a moment to review it.

Are there any wide eyed innocents out there reading the blogs? Do you really think "it can't happen here", that our Republic cannot become a totalitarian police state? Open you eyes, look around, read, research, listen to the scant news we get, ignore the propaganda and put 2 and 2 together. Even a first-grade child can tell you it is 4.

We are very rapidly becoming a totalitarian fascist police state, and possibly with fanatical theocracy overtones. Or a theocratic, totalitarian, fascist police state? IT IS HAPPENING, a part of a One World Order.

Why does our government allow foreign interests to own and control corporations, banking, and now some of our ports? Little by little national boundries are becoming blurred and we are eased into a one world system, one government, one financial system. The extremist Muslim fanatics want the same thing, except under THEIR system. So...who's going to win? And does our short sighted government arrogantly assume WE will?

We have already alienated the entire Muslim world, even those regimes that were friendly to us. Afghanistan, Iraq, poised over Iran, rattling the saber at Syria and several other Arab nations. Where does it stop? How far can Bush go before igniting another World War? If that wasn't bad enough, he and his emissary Rice make aggressive noises about some of our South American neighbors. Bush speaks of placing US troops in some of the African nations to preserve peace (and our interests?). He's angered our European and Asian allies.

He is building more war machines as fast as possible (and making those manufacturers and developers even richer at taxpayer expense and through foreign loans - because the US is basically bankrupt). Our military recruitment is down and military strength is diminishing. Is the draft next on the agenda to man Bush's empire building/ conquest agenda? China holds much of our foreign loans that shore up Bush's wild spending, and China is rapidly becoming a strong competitor on the world markets. And China has a population of billions from which to draw military recruits.

If a world war erupts, will China stay out of it? Not likely. To the victor goes the spoils and everyone wants a piece. Can America fight the entire world? Could we possibly win? No. But win or lose, those scenes of bloody horror and destruction would be OUR people, OUR cities. Bush's empire building, his goals to have the US be head of the One World and the New World Order must be stopped.
