narcissists.  I wonder who took W's history exams in high school and college?  It could not have been he; or could it be he and his ilk, just could not care less?

Once upon a time, "the sun never set on the British Empire"; by the middle of the 20th century, that was no longer the case.  The "discovery" of the Americas made Spain cock of the walk; the theft of gold and silver and enslavement of the indigenous peoples paid off for Spain; until it didn't.

Rome, the most long lived empire in western history; lasted close to 1,000 years, eventually, collapsing; due to over expansion and corruption.  And, now it is our turn; and, we really should not be surprised.

We have never lived up to the beautiful sentiments in our founding documents; our country being founded on genocide and slavery.  Throughout our brief history; fascism has bubbled just below the surface.  We need only bear in mind all the lies told every generation; as excuses to take us into every war.  Why did Wilson take us into WWI; the Kaiser was not coming after us?  The short answer is:  IMPERIALISM!

There is truly, "nothing new under the sun"; and, every official story should be viewed with a jaundiced eye.  That information, not faith in a cloud being, can at least keep our minds free and we cannot be defeated as long as we refuse to let the "thought police" in; and, have the courage to stand up for truth and not cringe in the face of the greatest terrorists on the planet today.  Our government and that of many throughout the world have built up the reputations of a relative handful of Moslems; to take our eyes off the ball. 

The most dangerous threat to us and all freedom seeking peoples is:  Dick Cheney and his ilk worldwide.  Their unwitting accomplices in this cabal are our own fellow citizens who through their willful ignorance and craven cowardice are destroying The United States of America; from within.
