Folks, our country is in peril

"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier,
just so long as I'm the dictator."
Instead of making you dumber by reading more things our "President" has said publicly, let's chat for a minute about
some things that run in stealth mode on most Americans' radar screens.
In a society where it's become taboo to talk about real issues that might actually involve truth and/or reality or help you or your family, "
we've instead been coerced down a path of groveling and raving lunacy! Just turn on government mouthpieces like the Fox "News" Channel or Rush Limbaugh for proof of the ensuing madness (then quickly turn them off).
When the PNAC crowd wasn't busy engineering 9/11, they were laying out what they would do afterwards. After all, you can't go around breaking up America and the rest of the world without proper justification. You need planes crashing into buildings and massive explosions, imploding skyscrapers, fire, smoke, mass panic, thousands dead, and most importantly: FEAR beamed directly into everyone's brains via live network satellite feed. That's what you need. Justification. Fear of a hidden enemy, supposedly controlling all the destruction from a cave somewhere, that somehow got past our trillion dollar defense system catching everyone off guard. Suuuure. Sounds like a good B movie or even an after school special starring Nicolas Cage. It made quite an impact though, didn't it? Sure did. Didn't the Cars have a song "You're Just What I Needed"?
Then Congress passes the PATRIOT Act without even reading it, and not too far off we have the Homeland Security Act and subsequently the biggest reorganization and expansion of the US government in hundreds of years. Thanks a lot guys. And to think the Bush family got their start financing Hitler. Who would've guessed? But never mind all that, now it's time for war.
Folks, our country is in peril. The American Republic (democracy was a word our Founders despised by the way) is in sharp decline if you haven't noticed. Maybe you all could just stop chewing sand for a moment, breathe some polluted air, and take a look around!
The Constitution has been shredded, along with our rights, liberty, privacy, and freedoms. Inflation's skyrocketing because of reckless spending. Our jobs are being outsourced faster than the Chinese can pump out American flags and it's like we've barely noticed. Hello? NAFTA...GATT? And now CAFTA and soon to be FTAA.
These are all death sentences for American prosperity, the way of life we currently enjoy, and our sovereignty as a nation. We have a worthless fiat dollar and an economy collapsing faster than the auto industry can file bankruptcy, and the mass media tries to convince us it's all good by vilifying anyone who still thinks for themselves. Is this even real? War is peace, torture is good, lie is truth, free speech is bad, black is white, day is night. The contradictions are everywhere and I'm sick of it!
Everyone scoffed at the anti-war crowd in the beginning and they were hastily labeled unpatriotic traitors. Now they've been vindicated and the administration is falling apart because of its blatant lies and utter disrespect of the American people. They sent our kids into a madhouse of concocted chaos without proper gear or equipment and gave them depleted uranium rounds to shoot around at each other. Not to mention all the deadly vaccines they pumped into them.
Supporting our troops doesn't mean slapping a magnetic "Support Our Troops" made in China bow tie on your SUV. Supporting our troops means getting them out of this mess ASAP and holding the criminals in Washington responsible for the lies and propaganda they dreamed up, and the crimes they committed to justify their sick means.
Those that have needlessly died over there thought they died for freedom. Is it freedom when our government locks dissenters up in "free speech zones" if they want to protest here in America? Is it freedom to secretly drag you off and torture you just because you're "suspected" of a crime? Is it freedom when fascist corporations buy politicians to legislate your job to India or Indonesia for higher profits? Is it freedom when our election votes are counted by electronic voting machines, that offer no paper trail, and have been proven easily hackable and manipulated? Is it freedom when the NSA secretly taps your phone because Echelon picked up your Google search once for "federal reserve edward griffin"? Is it freedom when our government uses terror to scare the US public into submission?
No that's not freedom and we owe these soldiers our respect. We owe them to arrest, prosecute, and imprison the cabal that has hijacked our country and sent them there to die in the first place. Anything else would be disrespect.
America used to be a model for freedom, and what hard-working people who wanted a better life can accomplish free of tyranny. Not anymore. Now we're laughed at around the world and hated because we've just stood by blindly as our "leaders" steal elections, legislate away our rights, and blow our ridiculous "defense" budget on killing innocent people in random countries we deem valuable. All in the guise of fighting a "war on terrorism" and "spreading democracy," when in reality it's a war on freedom and nothing else. All justified by 9/11, which was a fraud in the first place. What a total disgusting joke we all have become. We are better than this.
Contrary to what some puppet talking head in flight gear might say from the deck of an aircraft carrier, the mission isn't accomplished. Not by a long shot. It won't be accomplished until we clean house in this country. This has gone on long enough and we need to push the reset button. Just look at the incompetence in the wake of Katrina. The corruption in government is so beyond rotting and rancid and we'd all better wake up and realize just what has been done in our names. Otherwise our names will be done.
They never stop
thinking about new
ways to harm our
country and our people,
and neither do we."
"See in my line of work you got to keep
repeating things over and over and over
again for the truth to sink in, to kind of
catapult the propaganda."

Belafonte Calls Bush 'Greatest Terrorist'

By IAN JAMES
Associated Press Writer
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - The American singer and activist Harry Belafonte called President Bush ``the greatest terrorist in the world'' on Sunday and said millions of Americans support the socialist revolution of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.
Belafonte led a delegation of Americans including the actor Danny Glover and the Princeton University scholar Cornel West that met the Venezuelan president for more than six hours late Saturday. Some in the group attended Chavez's television and radio broadcast Sunday.
``No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George W. Bush says, we're here to tell you: Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of the American people ... support your revolution,'' Belafonte told Chavez during the broadcast.
The 78-year-old Belafonte, famous for his calypso-inspired music, including the ``Day-O'' song, was a close collaborator of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and is now a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. He also has been outspoken in criticizing the U.S. embargo of Cuba.
Chavez said he believes deeply in the struggle for justice by blacks, both in the U.S. and Venezuela.
``Although we may not believe it, there continues to be great discrimination here against black people,'' Chavez said, urging his government to redouble its efforts to prevent discrimination.
Belafonte accused U.S. news media of falsely painting Chavez as a ``dictator,'' when in fact, he said, there is democracy and citizens are ``optimistic about their future.''
Dolores Huerta, a pioneer of the United Farm Workers labor union also in the delegation, called the visit a ``very deep experience.''
Chavez accuses Bush of trying to overthrow him, pointing to intelligence documents released by the U.S. indicating that the CIA knew beforehand that dissident officers planned a short-lived 2002 coup. The U.S. denies involvement, but Chavez says Venezuela must be on guard.
Belafonte suggested setting up a youth exchange for Venezuelans and Americans. He finished by shouting in Spanish: ``Viva la revolucion!

he may have to litagate,
dont worry (small laugh) be happy,
look at me im happy,
don't worry, be happy
i give you my phone number,
when your worried, call me,

don't worry, be happy
aint got no cash, aint got no style,
aint got no gal to make you smile
but don't worry, be happy
cos when you worry, your face will frown,
and that will bring everybody down,
so don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy now...

Don't worry, be stupid. Democracy is far more than elections, fuck, Hitler was elected. It is, above all else, about the rule of law. When the rule of law is subject to the approval of a madman, you live in a dictatorship. This is why Alito is so scary. The next powermad nut will be a democrat, he will rule all your lives with an iron hand, unless you have the balls to say no .But it is within your grasp, don't get scared now. If slavery is what you were born for, learn to love it, otherwise, don't abandon your freedom. It's to frighting, you aren't ready, but it is America.

I can't wait for 2008 when we get a new president. You had your chance to change the country in 2004, and you know what? you lost. IF a democrat takes office in 2008, that is when you will see the economy falter. I don't know if you guys have been paying attention to the economy or anything, but the DOW is at 11,000. Our economy is getting stronger than ever. Bush got voted in fair and square, just wait four years and vote again, weining about how Bush not doing what you want with the country isn't going to get him out of office faster. That is why we only have 4 year terms, so a dictatorship cannot arise.

I'd say he found a loophole and used it to his advantage. Having a relative as the Governor of Florida helped him so much. This is just a clique group of people with self-serving interests and the greed of money. How do you "unelect" a cheater??? :confused:
Quick, pisshead, eg420ne, et al, set this person straight. Make him read your alternative news and knock him out of his brainwashed zombie state. Sit him on his ass and make him at least watch Farenheit 9/11. :D

Its really no use ..They are sooooooo brainwashed that they will just have an unconTROLLable denial attack and call you idiot or something soooo they dont have to bring any fact with them..
If this were a dictatorship it would be a heck of alot easier, just so long as im the dictator---LordBushler
If the people were to ever find out what we have done, we would be chase down the streets and lynched--GHW Bushitler
Man all you have to do is look up Diebold voting machines, black box its all a fraud..Or reallly we have dumbdowned american public that should NOT be voting because all they care about is whats on foxnews..But your right about the 2000 election if it wasnt for his brother or his cousin(<whatever kin worked at foxnews) that worked at Foxnews at the time he would not be president....Thats why we may have to do the unthinkable pretty soon...

On November 2, 2004 President Bush defied both public opinion and history to win the election
51 - 48.
How was this done? Simple...
Vote suppression/voter intimidation and deception. Shortages of voting locations and ballot forms. Foreign monitors barred from polls. Unmatched exit polls/actual results - actual results always skewed to Republicans. Masses of e-Voting "glitches". Computers lost votes. Presidential votes miscast on e-Voting machines throughout the US. More recorded votes than voters. Republicans gained 128.45% in Florida counties using optical scan voting machines while Democrats lost 21% - some districts showed gains of over 400% while one, Liberty County, gained over 700% for Republicans.Warren County officials locked down the county administration building on election night and blocked anyone from observing the vote count as the nation awaited Ohio's returns. Bush had 'incredible' vote tallies. 7% turnout reported in Cleveland precinct. In Cuyahoga County different towns had the exact same number of "extra" votes. And on, and on...

But John Kerry is the cousin of LordBushit and also a fellow member of the SkullnBones so it really didnt matter....any other person that was running was against was arrested or blackballed..
Kerry has clearly shown he is not willing to take a stand on this issue. And indeed you will find a great reluctance in the entire government to address the fraud because of their fear that if the present election is revealed to have been a fraud, the public will start to question whether previous elections were equally fraudulent, knowing that evidence to support such a conclusion is in abundance for those who look.
The American people are at risk of waking up and realizing that they did not in fact vote for the governments which have been in power over them for decades, and did not in fact vote to approve any of the disastrous fiscal and military policies the government has set, and that in fact the majority of Americans have never agreed with much of what has been going on. If the election is revealed to be a fraud, Americans will rightly conclude that they are under no obligation to obey the government any longer, to follow the government's dictates or to surrender their money and children to a bunch of unelected thugs.

Gallup: Bush Approval Rating
Lowest Ever for 2nd-Term Prez at this Point
April 5, 2005
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/ea..._id=1000866232
It's not uncommon to hear or read pundits referring to President George W. Bush as a "popular" leader or even a "very popular" one. Even some of his critics in the press refer to him this way. Perhaps they need to check the latest polls.
President Bush's approval rating has plunged to the lowest level of any president since World War II at this point in his second term, the Gallup Organization reported today.
"All other presidents who were re-elected to a second term had approval ratings well above 50% in the March following their re-election," Gallup reported.
Bush's current rating is 45%. The next lowest was Reagan with 56% in March 1985.
More bad signs for the president: Gallup's survey now finds only 38% expressing satisfaction with the "state of the country" while 59% are "dissatisfied." One in three Americans feel the economy is excellent or good, while the rest find it "only fair" or poor.
Gallup noted that more challenges lie ahead for Bush, including public doubts about his Social Security plan and Iraq policies.
Here are the approval ratings for presidents as recorded by Gallup in the March following their re-election:
Truman, 1949: 57%.
Eisenhower, 1957: 65%.
Johnson, 1965: 69%.
Nixon, 1973: 57%.
Reagan, 1985: 56%.
Clinton, 1997: 59% .
Bush, 2005: 45% .
Okay, tell us again how Bush won his re-election even though all the exit polls showed Kerry in a landslide. Go on. Tell us. We LOVE that one. It's almost as funny as the one about Saddam's 'nookular' weapons.
As a legal noose appears to be tightening around the Bush/Cheney/Rove inner circle, a shocking government report shows the floor under the legitimacy of their alleged election to the White House is crumbling.
The latest critical confirmation of key indicators that the election of 2004 was stolen comes in an extremely powerful, penetrating report from the General Accounting Office that has gotten virtually no mainstream media coverage.
The government's lead investigative agency is known for its general incorruptibility and its through, in-depth analyses. Its concurrence with assertions widely dismissed as "conspiracy theories" adds crucial new weight to the case that Team Bush has no legitimate business being in the White House. [Free Press 10/26/2005]
The Government Accounting Office has confirmed what the blogs reported and the mainstream media media dismissed as "conspiracy theory". The electronic voting machines were wide open to fraud, and fraud likely occured in Ohio, Iowa, Nevada, and New Mexico, among other states.
