Complete this sentence: When _______ happens, Americans |
|
will have had enough. We now have
1. Marines doing maneuvers in Toledo
2. DoJ official saying, on the record, that it's OK for Smirk to kill "terror suspects" in the US
3. Wiretaps issued on 10's of 1000's of "terror suspects", almost all of whom are innocent(put 2 and 3 together!!)
4. Halliburton building concentration camps
5. A mother being arrested at the SOTU for wearing a t-shirt that * didn't like
6. Verification that * lied about the threat posed by Iraq before the war
7. * repeating the same lies about Iran
Given all these, at what point do you think We The People will be able to stop this from becoming Nazi Germany? I am reading "They Thought They Were Free", and to a man the subjects of that book were OK with everything that Hitler did except lose the war. In fact, * has lost the war in Iraq and the one in Afghanistan, yet still has 43% on his side. So fill in the blank amid this background.

thing that actually moves the people to action. None of these have.

2. I wonder if its so simple... |
|
""Given all these, at what point do you think We The People will be able to stop this from becoming Nazi Germany? I am reading "They Thought They Were Free", and to a man the subjects of that book were OK with everything that Hitler did except lose the war.

Well, look at it like this;
Support for the iraq war is low, yet we are still there.
Support for NSA wiretaps are low, yet they will most likely be allowed to continue.
I think that, at this point, many Americans ARE tired of this and are fed up. But the media and the politicians are NOT doing anything about it. As I asked in another thread, how can DEmocrats be worried about looking weak on defense to americans for opposing the nsa wiretaps, if most Americans oppose the wiretaps already? It seems to me that the democrats and the media are more concerned with what the xian taliban, the right wing pundits, and the GOP think of them than they are with what the american people think.
I really do think when they saw: "We dont want to appear weak on defense", they don't mean appearing weak to americans in general, they mean appearing weak to the GOP. Thats where their loyalties seem to lie these days.

8. What if everything except for propaganda outlets went off? |
|
Suppose there were nothing on the air except for MSRNC, ConNN, Fox "News", and hate radio. Could "middle-America" get by on a stright diet of propaganda?

15. Unfortunately, that would likely be rigged, like everything else |

It's the new 'only-liberals-make-good-cannon-fodder' plan.

16. When the president craps on the original Bill of Rights and wipes with |
|
an American flag while simultaneously doing 30 lines of taxpayer-funded cocaine and murdering children on live television, maybe people will then have had enough. But after seeing this, 30% will still find him infallible.
