If this turns out to be a complete fascist take-over, it will have the best documentation of any.

[Fire Walk With Me]

If so, and if records survive completely intact, future generations will be able to clearly know what we, those who are opposed to it, felt about it, at least in text, audio, and video.

For the next batch of folks who find themselves in this position: If it appears to be a problem, solve it immediately. Even if it says that it's not a problem. That just means that it really, truly is one.

1. What do you mean "If"?

[Fire Walk With Me]

5. It's still slightly different than Nazi Germany, if that is to be taken as the "standard".

We are not quite yet being taken away and the ashes of our bodies returned to our loved ones.

Not quite yet.

8. Italy and Mussolini are the model for FASCISM. Hitler's Germany was a police state

but not the model for fascism.

2. yeah first 100 days are gonna spell it out if we fucked up

or are on our way to recovery. We will be able to tell how this presidancy will be when he starts addressing the issues most prevalant to him.

3. No kidding - and be perfectly supported by law.

I'm embarrassed to be an attorney - apparently, we'll happily write the laws that authorize a fascist takeover.

4. Well, so was the one in Germany in the 1930's

The Law, much like logic, is a whore.

7. In John Cornwell's 2003 book "Hitler's Scientists" it was noted that the two leading professions

that joined and supported the National Socialists (NAZI's) were the medical (about 45%) followed by the legal (about 25%)-there is much other documentation available.

Everything was "legalized" just like the BFEE is doing. I am glad you're in opposition to lawyers like "Justice" Scalia, John Yoo, Edwin Meese III, Alberto Gonzales, Viet Dinh et al.

Just wait until the Senate "votes" on S-1959 The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Act of 2007 which was known as HR 1955 and "passed" by the House on October 23, 2007 by a "vote" of 404 ayes/6 nays/22 not voting.

6. I betcha the pukes have all their documents saved, ala the Nazis' meticulous

records from the concentration camps.

They so believe in what they are doing that they will want to preserve the record for "history."

[leftofthedial]

9. first, it's not "if"

and second, what stops them from a cyber book burning that wipes out the real history, or at least its inconvenient parts?
