Another non-credible fear mongering post with a political agenda. That's all I have to say.

You seem like a pretty smart person Mr/Ms PT.

I have to disagree with your view of productive employees.

Most of the productive people on my job don't have time to steal. They are being productive...

If that's the way you see them then you don't deserve to have them. If you treat them as theives, that's what you will get.

And deserve....

Peace and Light!

I don't wish for a movement, I don't wish for a "reset" and I don't wish to disregard my life for one of fighting, survival, and eking by.

What I do want is freedom and I see it slipping away a little more every day. One day, they will cross the line with me, as with everyone else who loves America as a country and loves freedom and what our founding fathers sacrificed to make the great people of the United States what they are.

My only hope is that the line they cross with me is the same line as many other Americans or I will surely be labeled a "Domestic terrorist" and disposed of quietly among cheers from my American peers.

It is solely a business owners right to choose to allow smoking in there building, if the customers do not like it then they may choose to drink someplace else.

It is my right to choose to wear a seatbelt or to not, the government does not need to protect me from myself.

It is my right to own and use firearms as I see fit if it does not harm nor interfere with others as it is clearly laid out as my right in the Constitution of the United States.

It is my right to choose to vaccinate myself or not and it is my right to choose where I draw the line on others pissing on a piece of paper that I hold dear to my heart and to this day still makes me put my hand to my heart when I hear its tale told before every game of baseball that I love.

If you can't see the change that is coming, or has been happening, your not really an American, your an over indulged, white castle drone that is outside of your comfort zone.... Your..... Switzerland, congrats

You're*

Also, what change do you speak of? Last time I checked, wearing your seatbelt has been the law for quite sometime now. And..honestly...quite sensible to wear one if you ask me.

But I do agree with the rest.

Fireworks? What are you talking about? They're banned in most places now too.

to those who think this is just more Obama bashing - I have news fr you from someone who had hopes[now dashed] and who has followed Obama very closely watching for the signs of "change" - at least the kind of change his voters thought they were getting - and here's what I've found:

Habeas Corpus otherwise known as the Magna Cartre - the right to be heard in front of a judge :

Habeas Corpus was suspended a few years back - maybe you heard about that? Well Obama promised to resinstate it - he hasn't and it would have cost him exactly zero to do this on his first day in office....

All of the executive orders that Bush signed into law giving the president sweeping powers to declare martial law, arrest citizens for sympathizing [read protest here] with the enemy, seizing assets, rendition etc...these orders have not been rescinded by the Obama administration...

WHY????? Can someone please tell me who supports the current administration.......he was so passionate in his stump speeches about the rights of people under Habeas Corpus and now he is taking the Bush position

But then I am not surprised....I gave him two tests - Habeas Corpus and the
Bush exectutive orders...and he failed both...

then he did me one better and voted as a Senator to continue the illegal and wholesale spying on average American Citizen and I do mean wholesale because when you as an ordinary citizen can say you know two people personally who have been subjected to it you know we're in big big trouble....and we still have the heinous patriot Act.....

I'm sorry folks but you have been sold a huge smelly bill of goods and the carrot is national healthcare dangled out there to keep you supporting the march to globalized government,loss of sovereignty, total loss of privacy...

the latest is the PASS act which is being touted by Nepolitano - a national ID card complete with chip....


And if you think Europe did all of this without grave consequences think again and do a little research on the EU headed by Javier Solano - read some of their security documents and contemplate the fact that all of Europe except for Ireland [becuase it has refused to ratify EU treaty] has lost their national sovereignty...they are now subject to powers that they did not elect...and we are indeed headed in the same direction...

Let me tell you something about the leftwing and the right wing - when it comes to controlling the population they are absolutely the same in motivation and goal...complete control and nothing less will satisfy...

WE BEEN HAD...please wake up and smell the ovens....

That is all.

Frankly, as someone who lived in the US for about 5 or 6 years, I think it's been pretty fascist for a long time. Things got much, much worse after 9/11 and I found it quite sickening to listen to the ignorant ranting on about nuking Afghanistan... and then there was the whole propaganda push about Iraq. Mmm... Saddam and Bin Laden. The Bush family had closer ties to Bin Laden than Saddam Hussein. Watching sheeple swallow whopper after whopper, lapping it all up...

The US is a hugely thought controlled society. It starts, naturally, at school, with textbooks that lie and with saluting the flag every day. It should be noted that veneration of the totems of one's country is one of the attributes of fascism.

Then there's the propaganda. I remember on CNN during the illegal invasion of Iraq, there used to be a banner across the bottom of the screen - "America fights back". No-one questioned this. People barely even noticed.

Mussolini, of course, said that fascism should more properly be called corporatism, as it's the merger of state and corporate power. Well, I don't think it matters whether the state takes over the corporations or the corporations take over the state (which is what happened years ago in the US), the result is the same: the military arm of the state is used to help the corporations make money, whether it's by subverting states all over the world or simply invading states that have resources you want.

And of course the Republican efforts to turn everyone into a snitch via the TIPS program... that hasn't gone away. There'll be a facelift and it'll come back around.

Then there's the question of outgroups. Well, while the Neocons/Neo-Nazis were in, there were two obvious ones: the muslims and the liberals.

Now Obama's come in it's a bit trickier... but of course after 8 years of the neocons and the huge financial crisis, "troublemakers" will be high on the list.

I left the US because the lies and BS were doing my head in. Those who live there, mostly, can't see it - it's like wallpaper.

But don't worry - you're most of the way to fascism already. Not far to go now. Just look at the
14 points of US fascism:



  1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
  2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
  3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause:
  4. Supremacy of the Military
  5. Rampant Sexism
  6. Controlled Mass Media
  7. Obsession with National Security
  8. Religion and Government are Intertwined
  9. Corporate Power is Protected
  10. Labor Power is Suppressed
  11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
  12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment
  13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
  14. Fraudulent Elections


I'd say the US ticks ALL those boxes to a greater or lesser extent. The ones I think are most important I've emboldened.

Don't forget mobile phones. There's going to be a massive spike in brain and ear tumours, plus cancers of wherever people keep them on their person.

Yes, that is true. All that is probably going to happen unless we screw up big time in NK and Iran is that we'll end up with a president who does his job. I will never, ever understand the obsession with attempting to link Democrats with Nazis, unless some posters on this board are paid by Republicans to fear-monger. This went on from the day CLinton got in
office to the day he left.

I forgot what I told you about fireworks but yes they are banned in many cities. They are still legal where I live. The problem is I dont want to start a forest fire so I take them to the lake.

After hearing of the deaths involved this year over fireworks we'll probably see even more restrictions.
