What scares you most about where the america is headed?

[psychocat]

The US patriot act gives powers to investigating officers that contradict the fourth amendment and allow for unwarranted searches and seizure of evidence.
The only people who are going to benefit from this law are the lawyers.
George Orwells vision of a surveilance society is already becoming reality and America serves as the first to embrace the idea that a goverments job is to tell us what we can do , what we can say and what we can think.

I read an article last week about how cops can keep whatever stuff you have when they arrest you. They can keep it for themselves they don't have to turn it in or give it back! ipod laptop whatever it is theirs. Now that's scary! I have to find that article again my son was showing it to me. What bullshit.

Sorry, I didn't mean to take your comments out of context, when I read what you said I didn't take it to mean the same thing that I meant, but after re-reading both the posts I can see what you are saying, my comment right after yours does kind of make it sound a little different than what you probably actually meant. You are correct though, "if" that is true, then it really is bull shit, I am just calling "bull shit" on it, it doesn't sound right at all? I am open to reading the article though, researching the source and making my own opinion, however, since I can't find the article we just have to take Blue's word for it, that's not good enough for me. No different than me saying, "I read an article last week that said police can come into your home while you sleep and fondle you." If I throw something like that out there and cite that it was from an article, wouldn't you like to read it yourself and check the source? Of course, please Blue, give us the source, if it was online, check your history, use google desktop search, do something!:thumbsup:

Nuclear weapons scare me. People that have no interest in what is happening in the world scare me, or even their own country scare me. People with closed minds scare me and people that think we live in the perfect country without ever going anywhere else scares me.

Our present government scares me.



A word about fascism: If you look at the definitions we are really close.



One of the more common government strategies today, especially in developing regions is fascism. Fascism is commonly confused with Nazism. Nazism is a political party platform that embraces a combination of a military dictatorship, socialism and fascism. It is not a government structure. Fascism is a government structure. The most notable characteristic of a fascist country is the separation and persecution or denial of equality to a specific segment of the population based upon superficial qualities or belief systems.



Simply stated, a fascist government always has one class of citizens that is considered superior (good) to another (bad) based upon race, creed or origin. It is possible to be both a republic and a fascist state. The preferred class lives in a republic while the oppressed class lives in a fascist state.


general characteristics
of a fascist country:
1. Fascism is commonly defined as an open terror-based dictatorship which is:

• Reactionary: makes policy based upon current circumstances rather than creating policies to prevent problems; piles lies and misnomers on top of more lies until the truth becomes indistinguishable, revised or forgotten.
• Chauvinistic: Two or more tiered legal systems, varying rights based upon superficial characteristics such as race, creed and origin.
• Imperialist elements of finance capital: Extending a nation's authority by territorial acquisition or by the establishment of economic and political domination of one state over its allies.

Ok, I hear and read this word thrown around alot, 1. Glad you defined it, 2. You didn't really relate that to specific examples of America today. You just said our goverment scares you, and then defined facism? OK?:wtf:

WTF is wrong with you dude?! You just bitch on anything I post, you grouchy old man go smoke some weed you need to chill.

My son just showed me that article I said I would ask him for it and I don't appreciate you insinuating I am a liar. Stop being so fucking RUDE.

I posted the fascism comment because early in the thread someone commented of fascism.

It pertains to America because when the patriot act was passed I believe we slipped closer to a fascist state.

I will try to speak in simpler terms maybe that would help. :wtf:

See I can be RUDE too.
