America's worst nightmare.

It's quite possible that the crackpots that got the USA into our economic and political mess may end up portraying themselves as saviors. Take what's happening now. The ultra-conservative policies of the Republicans led us into unnecessary wars and economic collapse. So we elected more moderate and liberal Democrats to try to bail us out. But it's gonna take more than a year or two to fix things. Maybe an entire generation. Because we're in a colossal mess. Eight years of Republicans really did us in. But the Republicans are putting the blame on the Democrats. Because the Democrats are in power. And they haven't got an overnight solution to everything. It takes time. And cooperation from both sides of the political aisle. But there's no teamwork. The Republicans are dragging their feet. If not outrightly trying to sabotage Democratic efforts. By playing the blame game. And opposing just about everything. It's outrageous. But I sense that significant numbers of Americans are basically stupid. Evidenced by the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party. Which seems to be exorcising all moderates from the party. And Lord knows what may emerge from all this. Similar conditions happened in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. And you know who came to power. My gawd, can it be? America's worst nightmare becoming real. --Jim Broede
