If Bush is elected in five months, will DU & its 50,000 members...

...be rounded up for re-education programs?

1. I seriously fear "yes".

[Kahuna]

2. Can we can it with the "if bush is elected crap?" Nobody wants..

to consider that under any scenario.

[Speck Tater]

3. Of course we don't want to consider it, but...

there are a lot of things we don't like to think about but that which we still would be wise to prepare for.

Just be sure your gas tank is full, there's food and blankets in the trunk, and you know the shortest route to the nearest Canadian border crossing.

5. I was just proposing a tongue-in-cheek counterthread to Zinfandel's.

But believe me... the thought has crossed my mind.

My wife doesn't even know that I post at DU. Imagine her surprise, one sunny autumn day in 2006, when there's a knock at door, with two large men asking, "Hello ma'am, is this the home of Mr. MallRat?"

6. Rounded up? No.

Have more civil liberties curtailed, more junk science spewed, and more wool attempted to be pulled over our eyes? Yes, yes, and yes.

[mosin]

7. No, yes, yes, and yes.

I agree with your assessment. No, yes, yes, and yes.

Don't ignore the fact that many DUers -- such as myself -- are incredibly well armed. Right-wing nut jobs aren't the only ones who collect firearms. Rounding us up en masse isn't in the cards, but a long, slow manipulation of the country is.

8. That's why I was not (and never will be)

a gun-control Liberal. I don't own them, I don't like them, but if I need them I want the right.

[Endangered Specie]

9. Fear everytime the door rings.

not... I dare em to try and round me up.

10. They are'nt going to ring the bell

More than likely they'll bust it down about 4:00 in the morning and drag you out before you know what the hell is going on. I've got nothing against guns, I've owned a few, but you guys better sleep in shifts if you plan on using them.
We, each, and every one of us here have a folder with our name on it, with all the pertinent information, this is a dangerous game we're involved in.

[Rationality]

11. Nah, and honestly, I'll just move on with life. ((n/t))
