Copenhagen:
Your most welcome. We americans take so many things for granted. Sometimes it's very valuable to see the opinions of someone who has been on the dictatorship side of the fence, as Mr. Alvarez, Jr. has.
Though I don't compare Obama to Castro or Hitler, in both cases, those latter two nutballs were able to take over modern, civilized, nations. They were able to convince the people of those nations, through well orchestrated politicial rhetoric, that they would solve the problems for the people in those nations by "changing" the way things worked. Well, as Mr. Alvarez, Jr. points out, you better know what your changing into.
My analogy is that Germany and Cuba thought that the clothes they were wearing were frayed and torn in a couple of spots. This made them less than happy. Along came Hitler and Castro promising them a "change" of clothes. What they didn't tell the people is that the change of clothes they were signing up for would be dirty, torn, gunny sacks, while the new leaders would have the finest of new clothes. Hey, it's all "change", right?
USAFNoDak, I really liked that peace from Manuel Alvarez Jr. Thanks.
