America's Prognosis
Edited on Fri Aug-19-05 09:31 PM by ck4829
I am starting to think that America may need UN Peacekeepers or something like that to protect us all from the Far Right.

At the surface, everything looks almost fine.

But, underneath it all is brewing a RW Plot to launch a coup against the government.

We need somebody, something to protect what is left of our infrastructure, and we can't do it alone.

2. How exactly are we going to petition the UN?
Do you think John Bolton is going to present our case for us?

Do you think Kofi Annan reads letters written to him by ordinary citizens of any country?

Where is our recourse, via the UN or our own government?

Help me out here, I don't see any whatsoever.

3. I don't know
But, if you were to turn off the MSM (and I know that all the DU'ers do that), you can tell that we need help.

RW'ers are becoming more comfortable with voicing their REAL opinions

Our infrastructure is falling apart

The middle class is shrinking

Something needs to be done.

6. No. Bush should be the last RWer to become a martyr.
The man is a sick joke and a horrible excuse for a leader. Martyrdom would be too great an honor for him.

If we beat him down with anything, let it be with the very same spirit and sense of justice that he, his father and their ilk have worked so desperately over the years to subvert and destroy. Dragging Bush, his Daddy, Cheney and Rumsfeld into a court of law and watching them be convicted and sentenced to the most adequate punishment possible would be the greatest victory that we could possibly win over these bastards.

9. I was being facitious, of course.
Call it the poet in me, but it just seemed like poetic justice. You know, what goes around comes around, that sort of thing.

7. we need that like Iraq needed us....
If we can't save ourselves we don't deserve saving.

The Christofascist right wing is a house of straw. Don't be intimidated, don't forget, don't forgive, never give up!

8. Thank you
I guess that all of us can sometimes forget that the Far Right HAS to survive in the shadows, or else it will be ousted from power.
