Reply #150: Wow, the Bushies are FULL SPEED AHEAD in securing unchecked power for decades, even centuries [View All]

(if the Amerikan Empire lasts that long, most Empires don't)

We scarcely even become aware of the last disenfranchisement tactic when they unveil the next THREE.

Add in the fact that our Democratic Leadership, with some VERY rare exceptions, seems pathologically frightened of addressing these issues, and it is simply a recipe for the End of America, plain and simple.

I'll say it again: This thing has passed a tipping point and is almost certainly too far gone to stop without another 60s or an out-and-out revolution.

We all know that collectively, there isn't enough spine, integrity, or even love of freedom in Imperial Amerikan Subjects to do anything but kneel before the Bushies, as we have been doing for the most part for seven years (25 years and more, really).

I pray that I am wrong, but given the mounting evidence, the likelihood of that seems very remote indeed. Less than 2% is a generous estimate, I think.
