This article puts into words all that I have felt about the US under Dubya.

Neocons will probably not have the mental capacity to read the whole article, but I would be interested to see what more reasoned folk think.
Where is DSR, Delmer and #1, and their guns, defending the rights of the people now? Freedom is rapidly failing to exist, and all the guns in the world is doing nothing about it.

Originally posted by SeitseYes. I was a little taken aback by this line too!
Our democratic habits are too resilient, and our military and judiciary too independent, for any kind of scenario like that.
So, who understands the woman/man writing?
Is it time to yell in the streets ripping one's clothes, covering the wounds with ashes, or not?
I think the writer is making the point that whilst things may be bad, there is a long way to go before the US is as bad as Hitler's Germany or Mussolini's Italy.
It does seem a little complacent though, given that Bush has "...already purged eight US attorneys...".
This does rather seem to undermine the claim that "the judiciary (is) too independent".
There may be a long way to go, but the parallels between Hitler and Bush are numerous and frightening.

What a retarded non sequitur.
Better off that you stick to learning the rules of paper, rock, scissors, NO1Defrauder:

"no1marauder (I figure Howard figures that I'll figure that he won't throw the same thing twice but then I'll figure that he's figured that and will throw Rock figuring that I've out-figured him. But I've got it all figured out and throw: Scissors.) "
If you reasoned that I would throw rock, then why would you chose scissors? Do you want to lose?
You must be a lousy lawyer when Rock Paper Scissors is clearly beyond your mental powers!"

Originally posted by no1marauderWell, the gun lovers are always claiming it's "to prevent tyranny", yet here is clearly the very foundations of tyranny being laid. Yet, instead of being resisted, it's being celebrated by the same bunch which claim that laws setting minimum wages, or setting up healthcare, are tyrannical.
What a retarded non sequitur.
Maybe I'm not getting the American Right's policies, but laws to tap phones and imprison people without trial are okay, but ones to help the poorest in society are not.

Scary stuff.
