Here's another thing I find some what stunning about this situation. I heard on some radio show (I honestly cannot remember which) that militias in this Country saw an increase in their numbers as a result of the Obama Administration.
I'd be skeptical of there actually being an increase, more so I think it's just hyped up radio BS just to instigate a conversation. But, obviously it's still possible.
Yet, throughout the entire cluster fuck of the Bush administration you heard nothing...not a peep...from the assorted militia groups around this Country. As we now know, Bush was responsible for perhaps the most dangerous, anti-American, take away your guns, your right to privacy, you rights to a lawyer or to see a Judge, Administration in the history of this Country. And not a fucking peep from the militias. Golly, it's almost as if these idiots don't know WHY our forefathers wanted the people to have the right to bear arms. Maybe they should read the 2nd Amendment, since they obviously have no fucking idea what it was meant to do.
Our forefathers wanted militias as a mechanism for the people to protect themselves from, amongst other things, a tyrannical Government. What the hell are the assholes waiting for?
No one is going to rise up against anything anymore. The powers that be have seen to it that the system is ran in a way that reduces descent. Namely, by forcing people into debt and into stressful, highly competative jobs which demands a lot of dedication and longer and longer hours. Furhter, a continous market of new shinny toys and gadgets is useful to provide superficial happyness, if only temporary, but more importantly it forces a further commitment to work more hours and fall deeper into debt.
We as a society are controled in this manner. No one is cracking a whip anymore but persuasive measures are taking to influence people into finding happyness and placing value in material things and not so much in their living conditions. We accept this. We are a product of it. And we maintain it by following it unconsciously.
Militias, at best, can only start minor problems for the government. But, since most people are busy working longer hours to pay for crap they don't need, the rebelous side of us has been subdued, controled and force to conform. This is applicable for any president from any party.
A Special Prosecutor, and nothing less, is neededand should be demanded by ALL in Congress. This shit (the contents of those memos) is unbelievable.
I agree, but it won't happen. The media, controled of course by the government, has not hyped up any Bush prosecution stories so Americans could careless - for the most part. What they have hyped up is the fact that the economy is falling apart, that we are all at risk of losing our jobs, that we will all lose our homes eventually and that the economy must by stimulated with a large infux of money by it's citizens. Basically, work harder, work longer hours and buy more shit. And so the wheels continue to roll, deeper and deeper into a controled state...
