Goodbye American Democracy

[JaySherman]

Kiss it goodbye. We could so put the finishing touches on the
Repug* fascists here. Instead our representatives on the commission are treating them with diplomatic gloved hands. I want to cry right now.

edit: Someone tell me I'm wrong, please.

1. you are right

and the fault lies mostly with the dems for allowing this shit to take over the white house illegally and then rolling over for him. Im only voting dem to get rid of bush but frankly i dont hold out much hope for any significant changes

2. Reminds me of Nields during Iran/Contra.

Asshats.

3. Agreed. 911 commish WAS our last hope...

... of a non-violent expulsion of the evil-Dewars. It is time to take it to the streets. support right wingers and second ammendment ... time to buy your guns.

4. It may actually come to that. I'll wait for the election, though. Any

funny business or "postponements", and I will be forced to agree.

5. At least someone brought up Iraq

these guys are liars. I can't wait for Clarke to testify. Powell is trying to back off. but the Iraq facter has been brought up.

6. Zappa quote

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre.”
- Quoted by Jim Ladd, ‘Zappa On Air’, Nuggets, No.7, April/May 1977
