after Kerry comes to power in November. These kind of threats seem to
spring so easily to the lips of the political Right.
Bush being re-elected is punishment enough for the left. Many will be
so despondent, I'm sure they'll kill themselves.
Trust me on this.
Oh, we'll just kill ourselves in frustration, eh? How convenient.
Someone is liable to get killed, that's the truth. The level of
resentment and hate that's being created by self-serving politicians
in this country is going to lead to tragedy. Trust *me* on this.
Just who will get killed isn't easy to foresee.
Now that we're all free to load up on assault weapons and stockpile
ammunition to our heart's content, I predict that this country could
soon resemble Eastern Europe or the Middle East, with private militias
out to settle their stupid idealogical grudges at the point of a gun.
All that's needed yet are a few more Ayatollahs to tell us who to
"punish".
Post by CullinanePost by Don LeightyI realize it's a stretch, but you just might try asking yourself
whether opposing the ineptitude, lies, stupidity, and totalitarian
leanings of a hate-filled, right-wing cabal might not just be
pro-American? I fear we are returning to the days of Joe McCarthy and
his similarly-inclined "if you don't support my abuses, you are an
enemy of the state" mentality.
Read up on some history. McCarthy, while a little bit exuberant, was
100% correct. Look up 'Verona Cables'.
Yeah, I've heard skinheads saying the same thing about you-know-who.
If he just hadn't been a little too exuberant.
Post by CullinanePost by Don LeightyIt's been a miserable four years. I don't know how anyone could hope
for four more of the same.
There's a war on. Of course it's not the happiest 4 years. Kerry
would consult with the French and the UN before defending this
country. You don't wait until you're attacked by terrorists. You
strike first at them. Bush Doctrine.
And Bush *didn't* twiddle his thumbs and daydream, ignoring the Middle
East situation *until* we were attacked on September 11? Clinton at
least made an effort.
The war's the best thing that ever happened to Bush, Cheney, et al.
It's provided them with the perfect smoke screen to savage civil
liberties, break treaties, and stuff their pockets at the public
trough. Totalitarians need each other to justify maintaining a state
of forever war. I don't see this one ending *until* we get rid of the
fascist wannabees in Washington (as well as the terrorists abroad).
