Yeah...especially since Bush already handed Cheney the constitution to use how he wished.

I thought Bush and Cheney used "US Constitution brand toilet paper"

I'm not an extremist. I am a realist. Government grows by the hour, ever expanding, ever interfering despite the Constitution's direction to prevent this. Even so, so many of you sleepy sheeple joyfully take the government at its word. You have been educated to do this, and you don't even realize it. If being reasonable means consenting to government involvement in everyday life, or tyranny, as I like to call it, then I will choose to be unreasonable with that, because there is no reason for it.Timminz wrote:You know, there's such thing as middle-ground.

Not at all. Power, consolidated into the hands of the few, is not a matter of if tyranny will manifest, but when. Just ask Hitler.xelabale wrote:You don't think labelling the government a tyrrany is a little....er..... extreme?captain.crazy wrote:I'm not an extremist. I am a realist.

I liken any "all powerful" governments to Hitler. Its oppressive. Its aggressive. I thought all the world thought that the US was overtly dominating. Where have you been the last 10 years exactly?xelabale wrote:You don't think likening your government to Hitler's is a little.....er...... extreme?
But the leadership right now is trying to change that. Haven't you heard of their 'fairness' plans? Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWHgUE9AD4sxelabale wrote:You are in fact saying bad things about your government and they are allowing you to do it, lucky you!
We are, in fact, in the transition from a free state to a police state. We have already seen documents from our DHS that identify those that dissent against the current administration as potential terrorists. We are seeing more and more, people that write or speak against the current administration are set in a position of scrutiny. Bush created the scenario where American citizens could be spied on without warrant. Obama will not over turn this. We are seeing more and more legislation being passed under pressure in the cover of night without the process of review and debate on it.

I disagree with many things your government does but that doesn't make them comparable to the Nazi regime. You do not live in a dictatorship. You are in fact saying bad things about your government and they are allowing you to do it, lucky you!

Rise up people of the US, before it's too late!
I sense a certain paranoia.
You are correct... It will not be overthrown. But that should not suggest that it hasn't been infiltrated and that the infiltrators have not been working very hard to secretly destroy the republic from within. Our founding fathers knew that this would be how the republic would end. and so, here we are... looking at tyranny in the face and, having been dumbed down to the point that we refuse to believe that it is even a remote possibility, embrace it in the name of equality and security for all. The point to remember is that equality and security for all cannot exist with liberty and justice for all.Hologram wrote:It's been growing since the sixties. I blame the LSD.
Truth is, our government, and all governments for that matter, operate, and have always operated in a certain shadow level, a shadow level that usually follows money and/or power. The difference between then and now is that now we have technology for the rapid dissemination of knowledge, true or otherwise, giving small groups of people, or even individuals powerful tools in exposing some parts of the shadow workings, which do nothing but cause fear and dissent.
The fact that our government has done nothing (or apparently nothing) to outright squelch the murmurings of the people goes to show what kind of government we live in. Could that change? Sure. It has before and probably will again, but the fact that it's always returned to the normal conditions (i.e. sedition becoming illegal during the world wars then becoming legal again) says a lot about how our government works: it is of the people, by the people, and for the people. Our Constitution may be shat upon again and again and again, but those three facts will always remain the same. The people simply will not stand for certain things, and once a democratic republic has been set up, nothing short of an outside invader and/or a bloody coup against the true essence of the government, the people, will they be overpowered.

True, we aren't there yet, but we are on the path. The time to resist is now, not when the next Hitler is setting battle plans and kangaroo court trials. This is why I tell you that the people are asleep... you are either too lazy or delusional to see. You don't want to believe that it can happen... but it can, and sadly, it will. The temptation for the elite is too great. We, the people, have to plant our feet, take up arms, and tell THEM the tyrants that we will not allow it. We, the people are individual and sovereign, and we do not subject to government, government is subject to us!
Death to Tyrants and sheepy people.
