‘A couple of months back, I quoted Tocqueville’s prescient words from almost two centuries ago: Although absolute monarchy theoretically “clothed kings with a power almost without limits,” in practice “the details of social life and of individual existence ordinarily escaped his control.” In other words, the king couldn’t do it even if he wanted to. What would happen, Tocqueville wondered, if administrative capability were to evolve to bring “the details of social life and of individual existence” within His Majesty’s oversight? That world is now upon us.’ Source

    Mark makes a good point – What do we have to fear from a government that can’t even get the telephone codes right :?: :mrgreen:

    The truth is closer to the government of “Idiocracy” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiocracy

    Like I said before, if push comes to shove, ONE determined and fearless special operation militia team of twelve men, tried and true, could pretty much have their way with any major American city for days…maybe weeks. :evil:

    I’ve always said the real fact that everyone ignores is that the Fascist elites tremble in naked fear from the fury of WE THE PEOPLE…The Righteous Justice that will not hold its terrible swift sword forever, as the former ruling class of Egypt have discovered this last week. :evil:

    What may be the downfall of conservative Americans is that which has always been their greatest strength in the past, Ronbo–their inherent decency.

    Was once told it would get worse before it gets better. Maybe it’s me, but things seem to be flying on auto-pilot even though the enemy works 24/7 against decency. Lot of dumbasses out there.

      …the thing about autopilot is that at some point all the fuel is burned up and the plane crashes…

      …and we in this country are long past the point of no return…

    Remember in Greece, or was it Portugal, where they wanted a stool sample to start a business. It ain’t far off for the Americans, already they’re getting groped and fondled at airports, the president does what he wants to, those deemed racist and guilty are just charged with anything and if they have nothing, his government just goes after you anyway.
