The Conservative World Is a Scary Place

An example of scary is the new proposal of heavily fining pimps and sending them to jail for ten years, the hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for getting "smutty" over the air waves, and other measures meant to "puritanize" America and the world. If the Conservatives were the Paragons of virtue that they would have everyone believe they were that would be one thing but they are worse, at least in numbers, than their Liberal counter-parts and are being hypocritical. What we don't need is a government turned "Morals Police", looking in every supposed dark corners for smut and immoral deeds.
Then there is Dictator WannaBee George taking on authority he doesn't have; all with the blessings of an Ultra-Conservative bunch in the Congress. In my lifetime I saw part of the rise of Nazi Germany and it bothers me greatly to see the trends that are taking place in the U.S., where Capitalism is acting out at its worst. We once had a government that more or less listened and represented the citizenry but no longer. Unfortunately our only weapon is the vote but that is more or less a stacked deck when you consider all the money that is spent creating Propaganda. Then there are the bogus voting machines that leave no paper trail.
