Dangerous Times...
A look at the past - the lies... the crisis...
The Road ahead... more lies... more chaos...
Broken Promises: “There is nothing in the record of the past two years when both Houses of Congress have been controlled by the Republican Party which can lead any person to believe that those promises will be fulfilled in the future."

History: They follow the Hitler line - no matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as truth.”
Strength of The Nation: “If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries.
Ban The Censors: These libraries should be open to all—except the censor. We must know all the facts and hear all the alternatives and listen to all the criticisms.
Protect the Bill of Rights: Let us welcome controversial books and controversial authors. For the Bill of Rights is the guardian of our security as well as our liberty.
Tell The Truth: “We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."
Final Thought: Fascism:
“Hitler lied shamelessly about himself and about his enemies.
“The real question is: who has the responsibility to uphold human rights?
The answer to that is everyone.”
Madeleine K. Albright
