I could take the last paragraph in the article and replace some words to fit what may be happening.

"America, don't be fooled. The Igbos were once made up of a confederacy of clans that ascribed to various forms of democratic government. They took their eyes off the ball and before they knew it, the British were upon them. Also, understand this: the African colonial who is given too much political power can only become one thing: a despot."

America, don't be fooled. The [United States was] once made up of a confederacy of [states] that
ascribed to various forms of democratic government. They took their eyes off the ball and before they knew it, the [federal gov't was] upon them. Also, understand this: the African colonial who is given too much political power can only become one thing: a despot.

Boy, you talk about the "POT" calling the " kettle " BLACK huh? And for those who don't see it that way, this is not a derogatory remark....!
I surely hope America can see him for what he is, instead of looking through Rose Colored Glasses.

You got that right, JAP. Welcome to the third world!

Thanks MADDOG & Rick,
Looks as though in the past year since the article came out the facts are there on what has been happening.
We know what the facts are.

2012 can't come fast enough.

Thanks Sully
It is going to be an interesting 2 1/2 years thats for sure. Altough I think patience has run thin and a change may occur prior to 2012. Another 2 1/2 years of crisis may be too much to bear.
I seen this reply some time ago someone posted. It is really not too amusing to anyone in need but it makes the point of where the economy is for many people. More and more are strugling daily. Sad situation.

"Residents of Obamaville are Federally protected, sort of like oily Pelicans. As the Presidents actions have made it clear, "Obamavilles are springing up throughout the country, providing millions of formerly affluent Americans with a "rich environmental experience" a "closer bonding with nature" and "an economically sustainable lifestyle. Soon, all Americans will know the pride of caring for themselves at the base level of existence in Kenya"

Did you see on Beck where the sanctuary cities are also the same cities losing the Police and fire protection?

I did not see that Sully. I generaly do not watch Beck but I will look up info on it. I understand cities and towns are staring to cut back on spending with no funds available. Just seen where Chicago got downgraded on their bond rating. That will cut into the budget. Basicly running out of money to support the needs. Of course some of the needs are not necessary in my opinion.
