Wow. very powerful. This is Marxism, pure and simple. The population has been rendered completely stupid and the media works for the enemy. There really isn't anything we can do now, unfortunately.
No, Sir, it isn't Marxism (which is actually a theory on social economics) but simple McCarthyism.
It's your own history, you might as well study it.
What Sergej described is extremely similar to what happens in Italy.
I am a full career military, 53 years old and with 34 years of service, former Company and Battallion Commander, yet the Police will time after time deny my Defense Permit and propose a Sporting Permit (good only for punching holes in paper) on the grounds "if I need a gun I have my GI Beretta".

To which I reply that if I were to walk around in public with my GI Beretta then the Police Sergeant who's behaving like a pimply youth (Uncle Vinny, anyone?

) would be standing to attention and calling me "Sir"...
America never had it so good as in the late'60s / early '70s, which, not by coincidence, were the Nixon years... which Richard won with a formidable "Democrats for Nixon" campaign.
I'm sorry to say, but whatever your feelings may be, the Reagan/GHBush Administration's foreign policy over a full 12 years made the US's look very ugly indeed to the foreign observer.
And by what I read, Pres. Obama is behaving more as a proxy Republican than the Democrat he claims to be.
Of, course, this is just a perception. So no name calling, just give me a plausible explanation for this new wave of McCarthyism.
