    Mr. P-Body
    Guten tag. Wie ghets?

    I know, my German sucks... Mein Frau ist Deutsche....

    I read your post regarding Herr Bush's "legacy". It was sugar-coated to be sure. I wanted to make you aware of the "mine field" you're walking through while in the "club house".

    The vast majority of club house guys are hard-core "right wingers". They are completely enamoured with their own "self importance", not really understandig some of the things they claim to "support". Others, however, ARE fully aware and really DO support the ideals of fascism.

    You won't make any "friends" with them, and you will be "in the barrell" in the near future for agreeing with BOPCollector, a "known liberal".

    The truth is, many Americans have been so "brow beaten", they're actually afraid to speak up. Most of us see clearly, what the unfortunate future holds. It isn't so much "government" that's the problem today, as it is how "corporate world" is CONTROLLING government. And if you speak out against them (corporate), you get attacked for being against free enterprise.

    The irony here is all the outrage over taxes, but it's perfectly okay for oil, insurance and banking to charge what ever they damn well please, and RAPE the common folks in the name of profit. The rich get richer, alright. And the "middle class" is rapidly disappearing from the US.

    Some of these fools actually believe the National Socialists in Germany were "leftists" because the "socialist" moniker has been "assigned" to the "left wing" here. They have gone so far as to quote the Bible "giving" the "right" God's approval. Like God really gave a **** what someone's politics are...

    An American writer (Sinclair Lewis) in the late '40s said "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross". This is EXACTLY what was going on after Herr Bush took office. They have tried to genertate support for moronic and illegal war by calling EVERYONE that disagreed with them traitors, "commies", etc. It's still going on today, when you see "Christian-this" and Christian-that". Having the benefit of a religious education, I can assure them ALL, there is NOTHING Christian about their approach.

    Just so YOU know, not ALL Americans even remotely agree with them. Most just want peace and prosperity, and know fighting another "ideal" is NOT how to get it. My father (RIP) told me many years ago, "You can't kill an idea." He was refering to Russian socialism at the time (I read Marx's book, so I know Russia wasn't really "Communist" in the literal sense). And no, I do not adhere to Marx's approach, either. Tom Jefferson is MY "hero". He would agree with you. Why have we NOT started a "rebellion"?

    In a sense, we HAVE. The last two broad elections have yielded a sort of "changing of the guard". The right-wingers THINK they "won" this last one. They didn't. Moderates were elected "across the board". What REALLY happened, was We, the People, making a "statement". We really DO have "the power" here, at least for now. My campaign slogan has been for 32 years now "Re-elect NOBODY!"

    I went a little longer than planned. Sorry. But know that most Americans ARE what most Germans KNOW them to be, good-hearted and honorable. Rosie (mein Frau) tells me what's up over there. Her family is still "active" in the Kaisarslaughtern area. Her dad was Wermacht (did I spell that right?). He had nothing but respect for the Americans after the war. They treated him like a man. I suppose that's why she made her "way" over here. She's not a "GI bride", she was sponsored and has "permanent resident" status.

    You take care, and keep your head "down" in the club house!

    Jim
