Newt Gingrich tells us to expect more bills slashing civil liberties
Very ominous....


http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,216962,00.html

Now, we're going to find ourselves in the next four or five years looking at bills involving civil liberties we never dreamed of because our enemies are going to give us no choice.

21. Have they any other choice? They need the protection stealing '06
will provide them. Just like they couldn't afford for Kerry to win in '04, though he really did. I expect repugs to steal all future "elections". Who is going to stop them? That train left the station in '00, and steamrolled over '02 and '04, deadheading toward '06. :-( Won't keep me from the polls, though!

16. "They hate us for our freedoms"...so bushCo cuts our freedoms?!
Seems to me even motherfucking stupid rightwingnuts ought to be able to (finally) figure this shit out.

"Facsism will come to America, disguised as anti-facsism."

17. Thats an awesome line-I am stealing it :)!
"They hate us for our freedoms"...so bushCo cuts our freedoms?!

That sounds like the kind of "solution" they would come up with...

Was it Sinclair Lewis who said something like, when fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross? (or am I totally butchering that line?)

Edited on Sun Oct-01-06 06:18 PM by nam78_two
I bet this is what their agenda is....

They have already started their attacks on the constitution. Apart from the detainee bill their is this:

26. Absolutely agree on the mindset.
Just being snarky on Newt, but you are absolutely correct. The whole lot of them are dangerous.

22. We have to get him.
Seriously. The big fat mouthpiece needs every word attacked, every fallacy exposed, every group, organization or contact traced and revealed: the neocons.

http://www.propagandacritic.com/articles/examples.newt.html">How Newt Gingrich used these techniques.

Fight fire with fire.

27. He is crawling back into the public eye over this bill
see:
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Gingrich-Scotus.html?_r=1&oref=slogin


Gingrich Urges Overriding Supreme Court

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Supreme Court decisions that are ''so clearly at variance with the national will'' should be overridden by the other branches of government, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says.



He is the second one, after Gonzales to make thuggish remarks about the SCOTUS not overturning this...Thugs....

25. We may as well deal with it -- our Constitution is dead
There's no point fighting these bastards. They all want to drag us back to a pre-1776 world.

The best course of action from here is a legal and non-violent, Constitutional secession. It's the only
way to save the nation (the real one, sans Alabama, ND, Utah, Idaho, et al ... sorry to all the sane people there
but we'll have to figure out a resettlement situation for you or something.

I haven't been this depressed about this country since Reagan was in office and he seems like a distant dream next
to these fascists.

29. yes, which sort of means the enemies have won, doesn't it?
I mentioned this on a thread earlier this week. The extremists hate us because they think our lifestyle is too free/liberal and as a result we've elected extremists who are now trying to curtail our freedoms. So, in a way, the terrorists have already won.

32. Newt; bush will have to appease the terrorists.
They hate us for our freedoms, it's the terrorists making us take away your freedoms.

We're doing what the terrorists want us to do.
