I have stated repeatedly that the trend in this country is toward a fascist system with communist slogans.

It was obvious even back then that we are being manipulated into believing that whatever government does for us is good. Most everything government does these days is solely to enrich their benefactors (owners). They don't give a damn about you. If you think any of these clowns have your best interest at heart, you are delusional.
