Are we on the list?

Interesting question, why always Hitler? There have been many despots in our recent history; Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Mussolini, Franco, Hirohito, Tito, etc. Why Hitler? Because Hitler was the only one ELECTED to office and that is why we should be concerned. His rise to power is likely the closest to same thing that could happen in the US. I believe it is impossible for someone to overthrow our government by force.
On a side note; it is said that generals always plan on how to fight the last war and so it is with mediocre minds. If anyone thinks that a new despot will show up in high boots, brown shirts, and arm bands then they are fools. The despot will wear a business suit and his top Lts will wear suits. The followers may wear T-shirts and jeans. Purple T-shirts.
I guess I was wrong about most of the people here. There are a few exceptional minds here and the sad part is that if you don't then you will never know.

Ok, if Bush did it, it was wrong. If Clinton did it, it was wrong. Nixon did it, and it was wrong. If Obama is doing it, it is wrong. Defense of liberty is not a liberal-conservative thing. Encroachments on liberty must be opposed at the start, or they will grow too strong to stop.

I don't understand I just don't are you one of the superuber rich John I mean do have almost billions are you close to even having more then a few millions. Because from what your saying at every turn is that the poor will take over that the middle class will take over ok so that leaves 10% of the rest under the 80% control. I mean I just don't understand poor or middle class people sticking up for the superuber rich.

Do you really think obama is like Hitler I think deep deep down in your soul in the very esscence of your being you are mad because hes black that some white women had the neaver to have sex with some kenyan & birth a kid that is now your chief & commander that you can't wait to roll over in your grave when your not in the majority any more and they will be little brown mixed kids in your family probbly living off all that money you have imagine you might be the next obama's granddaddy

COG I cant believe your buying into this. To begin with they dont need to "wiretap" the internet. There's no way to do that anyway. They can observe our conversation, and under the patriot act obtain a warrent to have your service provider give them your personal information from your ISP. This is not new. They are not asking for anything new, they are only asking to be able to keep the access they now have which is being lost due to encryption and other technology. Here is a link regarding the subject without the hyperboil of the paranoid. I am going to start calling Galt, Unibomber 2. "Like my fro, bro?"

Dirty Dog, I believe there are aliens circling the planet, that Oswald didn't kill Kennedy, that our real rulers are behind the scenes, and you're surprised I bought in to this? LOL!

Anyway, I just think there are too many invasions of our privacy, and I oppose any further attempts by anyone to nose around my private affairs. Certain people may nose around my private parts, but my private affairs are mine.

Comparing the techniques of a fascist to another who could be a fascist is not saying that one is like the other. Kind of like saying that one baseball player hits like Jackie Robinson is not saying I think he is Jackie Robinson. So when I say that Hitler was elected and manipulated the people of Germany into war is not the same thing as saying Obama is like Hitler. What I'm saying is that many of the techniques used by both the Communists and Nazis in Germany are being replicated in many ways by neo-democrats in office right now. Try to exercise a few more brain cells and build up your brain.

As for saving the uber rich. It can be called by many names; fairness, freedom, capitalism, the right thing.
Am I rich? No, but some day I could be if a couple of things work out. I remember a number of years ago working in a shipyard working my ass off 84 hours a week. It was 100 degrees on most days (New Orleans). When tax day came I found that I paid nearly 50,000 dollars in taxes that year. I didn't one single person next to me helping pull cables and test electronics. I did get to see so many people eating better than me, driving better cars than me, and living in section 8 apartments using food stamps at the grocery store. I paid for all of that.

COG....I find what you believe plausible also.

More common ground.

next time john you see someone buy food with food stamps then follow them home & demand that you get to eat with them because you paid for it.

Cheaper; I would pay any price to watch Galt try that one.

ASPD use to have an ignore function, does this site have the same?

Just my opinion, and I'm one of those freaks that believes in most of the silly conspiracy theories and possibilities of alien life LOL. Best to think of things this way....

If you are using it, they are watching it. Get used to it because it's only going to get more invasive!
So stop watching all that nasty granny porn, or people will know how weird you really are LOL. Oh wait that's me LOL.

My favorite quote from 40 Year Old Virgin while they are in that teen group sex class.
**"Is it true if you don't use it, you lose it?"
*"Is that a real question?"
**"No. Sorry."
LMAO

You're fear mongering about Obama brainwashing us uneducated Americans into a socialist dictatorship is pure butt squirt, buts its a real good thing we have you highly decorated, super educated hero's of the free world to keep us safe. In all honesty John, your no different than the idiots that chain themselves to a tree to save the spoted green 1 eye horn frog. There is one very large reason none of this crap your spewing will ever happen in America, and a large reason it happened in other countrys and is one of the first thing dicators do when ever they begin their take over, they disarm the society. This country is far from disarmed. All your doing is putting forth more hate and fear because of your hate for Obama, arn't you tired of it yet. Everyone else is, especially when it comes from a pinhead with a Nazi Germany fetish. I do have a question, just how many careers have you had, you've been a ship builder, a Navy Seal, a secret agent, a career student, a doctor, lawer, a provider and the list goes on, it seems you have a relevent story for every discussion, are you that dude from the TV show pretender, your some kind of super genious who can transform himself into anything. Give it a rest dude, seriously no one cares, and only you see a "neo-con Democrat" conspiracy behind every tree. One last thing, I dont remember all of this conspiracies when Bush took away our civil liberties with the Patriot Act. Which is actually invasive, rather than then what they are asking for now.
