Reply #17: Full depression and no recovery plan [View All]

Bush will have us put on such a harsh plan that we will be living in a state similar to STAZI East Germany by 2008.

We will no longer have a two-term limit for the President.

We will be in an espionage state, with full secret police brigades.

Legal processes will be destroyed, and we will see torture in U.S. prisons.

We will be in deep poverty, and our middle class will disappear altogether.

All this and more, because we will not take our country back as a whole. It seems far-fetched now, but I know several gun enthusiasts who belong to the John Birch society AND sport Anybody But W stickers on their pickup trucks. A lot of these guys are retired law enforcement people, and their protest of the shrub would rival any here at DU. They know what is at stake, and most of us just haven't been looking at the bottom line in this country. Fascism is here, and it will stay until we forcibly remove it. After all, we said that the last four years would lead to massive deficits, job loss, and a recession. And we said that it would get Junior out of the White House. But here we are, privatizing Social Security, eliminating protesters from the Inaugural parade en masse, etc...
