How The U.S. Became The USSR

In the Good Ole Days of the Cold War we criticized the Russians for their tyrannical ways and lust for power.  We screamed at the commies: "Listen to your dissidents you brutal communist tyrants"! Now the roles have reversed and Snowden and others are the American dissidents crying out about our tyrannical government and spying. Watch the interesting video below.  By the way Dr. Paul Craig Roberts offers some very interesting insights about the U.S., I want to offer the caveat that I do not agree with Paul Craig Roberts on Jimmy Carter and other issues concerning  the Middle East and Persia but I like his fresh approach on other issues.
