If anyone in the country has children, and is not yet homeschooling them, then after reading the linked article, you will probably want to start.

That's the kind of thing the fascist regime that lasted for 48 years in Portugal said.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
-- Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945

The funny thing about that is that I never found the source for that quote, so it may be just propaganda. :)

ArMaP,

Scary thought, 48 years of fascist could wipe any
functioning nation out.

Not really wipe out, but we are still suffering the consequences of that, mostly in the people's mentality, even of those that were born after the end of those 48 years, as mentality is something that fathers pass to their children, even without noticing.

Armap, I honestly wonder what the Obama government is going to have to do, before there is mainstream acknowledgement of the fact that said government is fascist.  At the moment, it is still ridiculed by a lot of people.

Comparing it with what the fascist government in Portugal did, a lot of things. :)
