It's not going to be Pretty when America Turns on bush & his buddies
i'm sure they think they're prepared for that, and i'm sure they've underestimated our level of anger out here in taxpayer land.

hell, after the way we've treated them the last 5 years, they assume we'll accept any damn atrocity and go back to work in quiet desperation. they think we're ALL dumbasses out here, but some of us got a clue.

i'm sure they've noticed the grumbling and rumbling across the land, and they've got to be getting just a little bit nervous. but no one is stopping them, so they figure what the hell, we're going for the whole enchilada. and they will.

but when your average schmo and flo figure it all out and the tide and the worm finally turn, it ain't gonna be pretty.

1. Hmmm. Civil war or great depression x2...
Nobody rioted or stood up in the great depression.

When the economy collapses, they won't again either.

Bred to be sheep. Not even the good type of sheep. And there are no leaders in sheep.

Everyone I know hates *, but what can they do?

6. Not quite true
There was a huge amount of discontent and civil disobedience during the Great Depression. The violence against the Bonus Army is just one example. The Red Scare got its' roots in the depression and was used against labor at every turn. Criminal activity of all kinds skyrocketed. Until the New Deal got hold, this country was headed towards a revolution.

3. I don't think that it's going to happen.
Americans are by and large too stupid and to apathetic to turn on anyone.

schmo and flo will remain blissfully ignorant.

5. We saw what happened with ...
mere low ratings. Imagine what they will do when the people march on Washington asking for his head.

Do you think they could actually justify nuking a large NE city ?

Cheers
