If you say something subversive (terroristic) then you will be caught by the Thought Police, which in our case would be the Department of Homeland Security. There are telescreens watching our every move like the warrantless wire tapping. George Bush making up facts to bring about the Iraq war. "Who controls the past controls the future." "Who controls the present controls the past." The reach for power by this administration has not ever been paralleled or has there ever been another administration with the abuse of power for their own personal capacities of use.

2. yeah that's some scary ass shit
And I'm really starting to question whether I can take anymore bs from the anti-impeachment crowd--this isn't politics anymore kids. This is a serious constitutional crisis. And I'm not talking about like, breaking the law and lying about getting head from a chubby intern. I'm talking about people who really think they are above the constitution.

sorry that kinda just came out...

3. Well, as I said the other day in another forum, sometimes I think that
it (a constitutional crisis) may be the best thing for us.

4. ...if we make it out of it
Otherwise, I'd totally agree with you...I'm just kinda worried about a total economic collapse as a result, and that might kinda not be so cool.

6. Actually I think it's the Brave New World.
Watch television and see how much Soma we're sold each day.
