"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. ”

Steve, here ya go
This is put up entirely in jest because it what the soon to be jobless Nikki Tinker tried to do
I wish I would have thought of taking this video and transposing Tinker into it during the election! I could have had some serious fun with editing!
BTW, Borat, (Sasha Cohen) is an Orthodox Jew, and that's why he can get away with his humor. Sort of like Richard Prior using the "N" word.
A little more trivia. Borat, the movie, was a huge hit in Israel. You know that language he speaks that you can't understand? It's conversational Hebrew, spoken only in Israel and people who studied at an Ulpon or with teachers who studied it. It's very hard to learn, and it's not like Biblical Hebrew, which I am fluent in. So Sasha had this inside joke going with the Israelis with his film.
Lastly, just 3 phrases you need to know in conversational Hebrew, anyhow. I spell them phonetically since I don't have a Hebrew keyboard.
1st. Ha-he Pu-she-ot. That means, "The Beatles," as in the greatest rock band ever.
2nd. A-Nee, A Ha Tav A Tov. That means, "I love you."
