AMERICANS SUPPORT LAW, ORDER, THE TROOPS, AND THEIR CHURCHES…

…and some Dems look like they’re about to start squealing “Gulag, gulag!”

Check out the interesting new Gallup poll results on confidence in various American institutions. Despite the constant barrage of negative MSM coverage, confidence levels in the military, police, and organized religion are high, while confidence levels in Congress, the public schools, and the media are plunging.

The results have Chris Bowers at the interesting liberal blog My DD flirting with Nazi allusions:

What is perhaps most disturbing about this poll is that along with rising confidence in the military, the nation is expressing rising confidence in the police. In fact, at 63% this year and 64% last year, confidence in the police has reached an all-time high. If you couple rising confidence in the police and the military with declining confidence in the criminal justice system, elected institutions and the news media, you have the makings of a populace that would be comfortable with a police state. Now, while I personally think comparisons to our current government and Nazi Germany are absurd, offensive and based in ignorance, the growing national comfort with authoritarian and totalitarian measures cannot be ignored.

Clue: That kind of hyperbole isn’t going to do much to boost sagging confidence levels in the Left’s pet institutions.
