I appreciate D. Pipes "telling it like it is" very much.

I think the various think tanks are beginning a slide towards the same fear-think that has established itself a little further in Great Britain. This line of thought from Brookings-CFR doesn't surprise me at all. I expect things to deteriorate even further in the next year or so if not sooner.

Obama has made his political leanings pulbicly clear. I think a few Americans are wakening up but, it is too little too late. Obama together with the Democrats has secured an almost vice grip on this country's power. The upcoming laws the Dems are looking at passing are going to accentuate the nightmare direction of American politics.

I look around on a lot of forums all over the place. There is still a lot of delusional thinking concerning Obama. His past speaks for itself far more eloquently than his campaign rhetoric.
