Reply #31: Oh, I think it started before Clinton, though he clearly did a lot of neutralizing. [View All]

Look at what happened with Iran-Contra, four years earlier?

We had them dead to rights for HIGH TREASON! And we let them walk.

And so much more. By the time Clinton even got in office the die was already cast.

But yes, Clinton and the DLC put the final kibosh on any semblence of actually being a seperate party. Sadly, for the most part it appears as if Obama is merely another Clinton.

United States of America 1776-2000. RIP.

But it was putrifying and dying long before that. Now we have an Inverted Totalitarianism, a Corproate Oligarchy that is way too far entrenched to be changed by anything less than total revolution.

And if we even had the gumption to try that, the Bushies would simply finish Nazifying-Bushifying as needed. The number of Bushie Brownshirts is now more than enough to fully Nazify. Law Enforcement is already mostly Bushified.

We are fucked. Clinton did his part, but it started long before him. Maybe all the way back to the Bushies killing the Kennedy Brothers.

Maybe all the way back to FDR letting Precsott Bush and his Nazi Friends when we had THEM dead to rights for HIGH TREASON.

It may well be that, even before our brief moment of egalitarianism and greatness 1945-1980, the seeds of tyranny were already sown.

Just like the Roman Republic.
