1. The difference from the past though is we're more aware of it. Once aware of something it's halfway>

solving it. I think what could work is some kind of local discussion groups. Talk it out rather than fight it out.

2. I doubt if talking will work. They need an attitude adjustment.

I don't care how it gets done. Just get er done!

5. I don't care how it gets done

Neither do they.

I flog this book at every opportunity. It's a free ebook (.pdf). It's the best I've seen on the subject.

For example, take the following statement: “Once our government leaders and the authorities condemn the dangerous elements in our society, it will be the duty of every patriotic citizen to help stomp out the rot that is poisoning our country from within.” Sounds like something Hitler would say, right? Want to guess how many politicians, how many lawmakers in the United States agreed with it? Want to guess what they had in common?

Or how about a government program that persecutes political parties, or minorities, or journalists the authorities do not like, by putting them in jail, even torturing and killing them. Nobody would approve of that, right? Guess again.

Don’t think for a minute this doesn’t concern you personally. Let me ask you, as we’re passing the time here, how many ordinary people do you think an evil authority would have to order to kill you before he found someone who would, unjustly, out of sheer obedience, just because the authority said to? What sort of person is most likely to follow such an order? What kind of official is most likely to give that order, if it suited his purposes? Look at what experiments tell us, as I did.

If, on the other hand, you’re way ahead of me, and believe the extreme right-wing elements in America are still working to take over the country despite the recent election--nay because of it--I think you can still get a lot from this book. The authoritarians aren’t going away.

7. I got a copy to pass on to friends as well.

Great book. Very revealing.

4. Maybe they are trying to stir up enough hatred and violence in hopes that...

..someone will assassinate the President. Then, if that happens, they'll claim innocence about it.

We suspected this before Obama got elected - that that was what was behind some of this hate/fearmongering. Maybe "conspiracy theory" - maybe not, but with the absolute hysterical, rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth hatred, propaganda, and fear-mongering coming from the media and the Republican right-wing-hate nuts, who'd put it past them?

I wouldn't. I hope our SS is VERY VIGILENT in protecting him - esp after that DHS report and the incidences of the past few weeks. :scared:

8. The only amendment the conservatives

care about is the second. Ask them about the 3rd, or 7th, 9th or 10th. They would have no idea what you were talking about.
