It wasn't 9-11 that changed everything it was 12-7-00

[Toots]

It was when the Extreme Court said stop counting ballots. We have decided Bush* will be pResident. From that moment on the world changed and most assuredly not for the better. Now this November let's change the world back. If the Bush* Cabal had not been selected to be in office 9-11 would most probably have never occurred. If we do not get rid of the monsters America will be targeted from now til eternity. By the monsters I mean Bush* Cabal..

1. You have that right!

[Ishoutandscream2]

2. Yes, absolutely.

The nation, and the world, was destined for tragedy once the "decision" was reached. It essentially gave the green light to the neo-cons to start their path of destruction.

3. Yeah

Before then, we never went into a country militarily for national interests. We were never lied to by authority. We knew every deal that was being made in Congress. Nothing was ever kept secret from We The People. We The People, actually, were able to have our voices heard. We've always been able to determine who, what, where, how, when, and why we would go to war. It's always been OUR choice!

The only thing that changed on 12/7, if anything fundamentally changed, was a more overt form of imperial expansion. Again, not that we hadn't done that militarily before. However, we had been more of an expanding economic enslavement empire recently.

The funniest, or saddest, thing is nothing actually fundamentally changed on either day.

9. Bullshit

The country was not perfect before that unconstitutional travesty, but it took a huge spiral downward into the darkest days we have ever known as a DIRECT result of that decision.

[The2ndWheel]

11. Ever known?

Other than the technological aspects of it, I'd say you can compare the days of yesterday and today fairly well. A few differences here and there, but overall the same picture.

But if you want to put everything on that one single day, go for it.

[Der Blaue Engel]

13. Not a single day, for heaven's sake

EVERY single day since.

[raccoon]

4. This should be shouted from the rooftops. nt

[helderheid]

5. Recommended. THEY let 9/11 happen and have blood all over their hands

[Xenotime]

6. Agreed.

[Karenina]

7. Actually, it was 22 November 1963

but I wont quibble. ;-)

[Ganja Ninja]

8. Exactly!

That's another thing Democrats should address along with paperless voting. We need an amendment to the constitution to prevent the SC from interfering in elections in the future like they did on 12/7/00.

[Bandit]

10. The Democrats can really change the world if they try the Bush*

Cabal as war criminals. Let the world know we are sorry for the disaster we allowed to occur and make amends or if we do not then IMO the world really will have changed. If Democrats allow the criminals to escape scott-free we might as well kiss our ass goodbye..The world will forever remember and hold us accountable.

12. A day that will live in INFAMY!!!" nt

[never_get_over_it]

14. Not to nit pick but the actual day

that Scalia stayed the vote count was Saturday 12/09/00 and I remember EXACTLY where I was when I heard the news - because at that VERY minute I knew it was OVER....
