The Dictator Speaks

Admiral General Aladeen: "Why are you guys so anti-dictators? Imagine if America was a dictatorship. You could let 1% of the people have all the nation's wealth. You could help your rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes. And bailing them out when they gamble and lose. You could ignore the needs of the poor for health care and education. Your media would appear free, but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family. You could wiretap phones. You could torture foreign prisoners. You could have rigged elections. You could lie about why you go to war. You could fill your prisons with one particular racial group, and no one would complain. You could use the media to scare the people into supporting policies that are against their interests."

that's a mouthful there my friend... however, I can see it happening though if this country doesn't get its $hit together. I'm embarrassed for my country... esp since the aftermath of 9/11/01-I believe in most Americans but I have zero faith that our government even cares to pull us out of this one. I'm sad that my grandkids won't know the same liberties I've known my whole life.
