Do not remember where I read it... maybe a security poster at work. A Russian quote that said something like "we will attack on all fronts, external and internal. If we cannot defeat from the outside, we will do it from within."

Looks like they are winning.

This is the problem with democracies and representative republics (that's what we are, not a democracy). People in a democracy will eventually vote themselves into socialism because they can. A representative republic is designed to prohibit this (pure genious!), but it depends on one thing... honest, democracy loving representatives. When those representatives love nothing but power, they will, on our behalf, grant us our democratic desires of socialism. They win either way. The rest of us get screwed and wonder why the masses who love government (liberals) don't get it. Because the process is so gradual, the same masses never see it coming (kind of like Twain's boiling of the frog.) And the ones who do (conservatives) get treated the way our kids treat us when they hit that rebellious stage. But a few years later, they begin to understand that Mod & Dad weren't so stupid after all.

God told Lot to go into the city to find just one just man, and if found, he would spare the city. But Lot could find no one fitting the bill and the city was destroyed. Our saving grace is that there are just men & women in our City. There is still time to save this great City.
