26. I couldn't agree more. I really thought "it couldn't happen here."
I never thought that even 1/3 of Americans could/would support (or not recognize) that it IS happening here.

We always knew we had a lunatic fringe, the same as any other country in the world. But who could have believed we would find ourselves where we currently are?

Most of us have a visceral reaction when we see a Nazi flag. I wonder how many people in the world feel that way today when they see an American flag. At one point many moons ago, I was a grunt serving under that flag. Today, I'm ashamed. And like most of us, I don't know how the hell to put an end to these pricks who have robbed us of our pride, our constitution, our freedoms and our country.

I was fortunate enough to survive my time in the service. Damn these cretins to hell for sending young people to their deaths for nothing but their own greed, lust for power, and the gratification of their own soulless existence.
