Quote to go with current events...

I haven't posted in a while, and this technically isn't really a post but a quote that I had to slap up somewhere because I feel it is all too fitting for what is happening in the world around me.

"Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."
-- Hermann Goering, Nazi and war criminal, 1883-1946

Have you checked out Ron Paul? He hails from the Lone Star State just as you do, and is a real conservative.
