G Edward Griffin: The Collective Conspiracy

Listen to G Edward Griffin discuss the fact that the far right is almost identical to the far left. The common underlying theme is Collectivism. On important issues like Foreign policy, government bailouts, too big to fail or privately owned central banking the left and right do not debate because they are in agreement. "The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea, acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election, without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy...
