You want to know what has gone so terribly wrong in America? Why the Democrats and Republicans are bowing down to the war machine, even though the people don't want more war?
You need look no farther back than President Dwight Eisenhower, hero general of the Allied forces in WWII, who saw this coming. In his farewell address to the nation, in 1961, he warned us:
BEWARE THE MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.
Big corporations and industry, the ones that make lots of money off of war, have taken over the U.S. government. The Vice President is a Defense Contractor. Your Congress no longer works for you, the American people. Congress now works for the businesses that get rich off of war. The same defense industry that finances the political campaigns, whose ring the Congress must now kiss.
BEWARE.
