Ever heard of this book
The Sorrows of Empire : Militarism, Secrecy, and the End of the Republic

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0805070044/qid=1083795687/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/104-5296804-3346328?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

2. I'm reading it. Written by Chalmers Johnson...
great book.

This country does not match the rhetoric you constantly hear from politicians of both the Democratic and Republican parties.

This country has become what President Eisenhower had warned about.
The United States is a fascist military-industrial-congressional plutocracy with lip service given to being a "gov't of the people, by the people, for the people"

3. So in other words
for our democracy the motto should be abandon all hope ye who enter here.
