Now, I try not to get wound up by politics, especially foreign stuff. But the way the Bush administration is running the US terrifies me. The way they're taking away freedom and introducing law after law which slowly removes constitutional rights and the peoples voice. The way they're alienating themselves from the rest of the world is so damaging to the entire globe.

I've always been shit at getting my point of view over about things I think strongly about. I never know how to word things like I'm thinking them. But it's interesting to note the following similarity between Hitler's run in power and the current US government. It sums up just what the US is currently doing, and it was the tactic of Hitlers people. It can't be deemed anything but frightening, surely:

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." -- Herman Goering, Adolf Hitler's right hand man, at the Nuremberg trials
