How Can America Not See?

I am trying to make a point...

"We've put in so much entitlement into our government that we really have spoiled our citizenry." -- a populist activist

"We oppose a fake democracy that treats the intelligent and the foolish, the industrious and the lazy, in the same way." -- a populist activist.

We've seen these people before. Pardon my somewhat wink-and-a-nudge comparison above. However, it is the essence of these two speaker's words that links them and not my own desire to see the democratic horse win this race.

Joe Miller - "Populist Activist"

The scenario continues to play out up north just as it is in the American southwest. Apparently, Alaska Senatorial candidate Joe Miller can count amongst his supporters one Norm Olson. Mr Olson refers to Miller as a "friend."

In case you are unfamiliar with Mr. Olsen, the SPLC can bring you up to date:

Mr. Olson

"He drew widespread attention after reporting Oklahoma City conspirator Terry Nichols had attended one of the meetings of the Michigan Militia, which he claimed counted 12,000 members.

But Olson, a Baptist preacher who spends time in his Alanson gun store wearing a camouflage military outfit, alienated his colleagues after Oklahoma by offering reporters an incredible theory: 

The Japanese government had bombed the federal building there as a return favor for the sarin gas subway attack that he said the U.S. government carried out in Tokyo."

Go ahead, Alaska... It's up to you.
