There is a famous old truism that says, "Those people unable to see (understand) the lessons (mistakes) of history are bound to repeat them."
Repeat?
Let's look: Barack Obama told us he planned to make changes when he became president. It was just one of the reasons I feared him before he was elected. We need changes, yes, but not the changes he has been foisting onto America.
Today, after watching Obama these past months, his borrowing and borrowing sinking our country deeper and deeper in debt and seeing the takeover of banks, businesses and other powers Americans have had under our U.S. Constitution, my fear has increased almost to panic.
I wonder that so many of my fellow Americans are so completely blind that they cannot or won't see what is happening. They follow Obama meekly, like sheep following a Judas goat into the slaughterhouse.
How can they not see what he is doing?
Can't they see the similarity to actions and promises of Hitler, Stalin, Castro and other villains of history who victimized millions of people. Those men had charisma too, but charisma means only that they had the power to attract and lead - that is, the power to lead to evil as well as good.
I have wondered what out international neighbors have been thinking of America's obsession with Obama. A publication titled <B>Canada Free Press</B> indicates some serious concerns saying they "watch the Obamanation grow with unbridled power."
They watch failed policies and wonder why Americans don't do something about the "incompetent Evil in charge."
The paper notes that our property and the "right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" given by the U.S. Constitution are being taken from us against our will in the name of the general welfare and without the guarantees in that Constitution.
They wonder what it will take, if anything, to wake Americans to the danger. A few Americans are stocking up on guns, ammunition, food and water, but Canadians wonder what else it will take to wake the rest up to the danger and whether it may possibly be too late.
I wonder, too.
I recall another truism: "There are none so blind as those who will not see."
For whatever reason, they need to examine what is truly going on, then compare it to the Bill of Rights - i.e. the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution, then act accordingly.

This is such utter partisan tripe that it barely is worth replying to. My surprise is that the editor of this paper would publish anything so ill-informed and divisive. The biggest danger and threat to the country and the world to date, George W., is thankfully out of office and his chosen predecessor, McCain, lost the election. My fear is that President Obama is not change enough. He is playing the same game that most of the presidents for the last 60 years have played. It is probably too little too late. Both our main political parties have failed us. One senator recently remarked, "The Banks own the place (the Capitol,Washington D.C.)" I say, think survival not politics and look for closer community relationships to get through coming hard times.
