Things are unwell economically and politically. Things are unwell globally as well as in the U.S. But........ a dictatorship? Look into real dictatorships and compare their freedoms to those of the U.S.

It's a fur piece from there, Vern.

Well written and thought-out post though, OP. I don't think you're far off, I just have to respectfully disagree with your outcome.

Cheers

One of our Ministers of Parliament resigned, as he felt our liberties and rights were being taken away. He more or less, said that the UK is no longer a democracy and is on the verge of dictatorship.


It is bad enough when us commoners can see it happening, and not say it, but when one of the government's own ministers speaks up-then it is time to listen and ponder what to do next.

This title scared me quite a bit. I have seen something coming over the horizon ready to put us into a fiscal and physical dictatorship. Yes this is happening and we are under the thumbs of the mighty corporation. Yet we as Americans are too preoccupied with feeding these companies to do anything about it. We sit at our jobs getting paid way less than we are worth, just to support our families so they can live a better life than we did. But in all the while, we are setting our plans up to fail by encouraging these beurocrats to stick it to us more, and soon our children will have an even harder time than we do now. So yes our country is circling the drain and yes it needs a change. But who will start this march. It can be a republic again, so lets show them what WE THE PEOPLE realy think.

No need to frightened at all actually.I think those camps are for terrorists that are captured in combat or those who have infiltrated America.Theres strong evidence of this from Israeli Intelligence.And there is no dictatorship in america or i would have heard about it.Martial law would have been declared and it hasnt.

So what is the definition of a terriorist? Perhaps me for even starting this thread? You do realize that there is a piece of paper our founding fathers fought and died for... and this piece of paper gives U.S citizens the right to question there imprisoment... this is gone... History does tend to repeat itself.. do you remember how Hitler was also building camps? and how the people were reassured becuase it was for commies not them? You should read up on history. We tend to make the same mistakes because we are ignorent of our history. And martial law has nothing to do with a dictatorship... if you read my post you would have seen that by the dictionary definition this country is now a dictatorship because the people do not have a say.. Do you think this is a democracy?

Do not be so disheartened nor afraid, "a little revolution now and then is good..." General George Washington foresaw all this in his "Vision For America" and we win. It is hard to totally enslave a people that are armed, and the power hungry always get inpatient and over reach. They'll light the match soon and find out that an armed free man or woman defending their home and hearth is worth any 100 paid tyrants.


The American Resistance Movement grows.,..

Yes, the government will always tell the American people what they want to hear. Hitler convinced the German population that the Jews were the enemy and that they needed to be destroyed. The Bush administration has done the same with the American People only in a slightly different way. He has portrayed muslims as the enemy that needs to be destroyed. The Bush administration planned and executed the 9/11 attacks to perfection. And soon after those attacks he declared war on Iraq. He knew that he would need a good reason to enter into war with Iraq and had to make it seem like it was an attack straight from the Middle East. Then he talked of WMD to keep the American People from asking to many questions. This is a dictatorship wether you choose to accept that fact is entirely up to you.

"If this were a dictatorship it'd be a lot easier...Except I'd be the dictator *snicker*" - George Bush (actual quote from speech about going to war with Iraq)


He's running out of time, options, and frankly everyone is so against him that he's becoming more and more of an outcast. America is fed up with our government, they won't succeed in any plans of domination. There will be riots and our government won't stand a chance. They've also got their hands tied here and across seas. With trials and now impeachment proceedings it'll be a very busy time for Bush. It will be near impossible for him to continue as planned un-noticed at this point. He's under the magnifying glass.

Frankly, everyone in office right now needs to be flushed out or reviewed...Far too much corruption and greed. Pelosi, Bush, Cheney, Rice especially...

This country is no democracy! Does our vote count? Only is the electoral college decides it does! Why were we allowed to enter into the Iraq war then? Was that the "will" of the people? Who out there thinks we were not lied to and manipulated?

But no as Americans we are quite content to mindlessly sit by watching our professional sports or reading news about what drugs some over paid movie/rock star is doing! It is not until gas has gotten to well over 3$ a gallon that we as a country even stopped to think about it and even then we are still naive to think "it will all work out"! HOW IS IT ALL GOING TO WORK OUT GUYS!!! We no longer produce anything in this country, our dollar is so weak it is just sad, our educational system is terrible even our average life span is less than 30 other countries! Our economy is not well, no not well AT ALL! We are at the mercy of other countries for both our engery in the form of oil and also a substantial porportion of our food! How pray tell are we going to purchase those commodies in the levels we are currentally purchasing them if our dollar falls so low it takes a wheelbarrel of them to purchase a loaf of bread? Someone said to me once on ATS, that the world could not go on without the US since we are a top consumer, but I got news for him--- I BELIEVE THAT IS WHAT IS DIFFERENT, Asia and Europe are doing fine thank-you very much! We were once a super power, but now we are falling and falling HARD! Hey countries, governments and empires don't last forever history has taught us that, but do we have to die a long slow painful death? It is painful to watch CNN , it mentally and emotionally draining, my loving boyfriend (bless his heart) says "Why watch, come outside and have another beer!"

I just can't stop watching, it is similar to how you just want to look at the car accident as you pass! But this time we are the ones in the car...

I feel like I can not look away even if it hurts
