. I don't know how much original thought is required of a thread like this. I think the above is pretty funny, and pretty true. We're going directly in the crapper.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Bridge collapses, MMGW, the bird flu, the impending ice age, and various other ills are going to kill us tomorrow anyways.

Haven't you been watching?

And when those of us on the Right warn you of it, you call us Paulbots.

Oh and...

Psstt. It's not because you "warn" of "it" that we call you paulbots.

Seemed a little overboard to me, but one "sign" that really did resonate with me is the extreme reaction to dissent expressed by WAY too many people in this country. This isn't a sign of the apocalypse of course, people have been objecting to dissenting opinions for a long time now without the country sliding into fascism...but it IS a sign of fascist leanings, and I think such behavior should be discouraged...instead of being the basis for a successful television show.

The problem isn't political leanings, objecting to the right of everyone else to have their own views is not a key factor of any political views that belong in this country. I don't care how much of a conservative you are, that doesn't make it OK when Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity or any of the rest of those assholes call people traitors and terrorists for disagreeing with the government.

The problem isn't the Paulbots' accurate warnings, it's that their solution is to apply leeches.

No. Leeching is the liberal solution to most things.

Apply leeches?

No, our goal is to remove leeches.

You're group has become nothing but a bunch of leeches as well.

My group? You mean Conservatives? Oh wait, that's right, according to RPbots - you have to support RP or else you hate America. :roll:

What is a facist?

I dont see no small groups of people wanting to take over the country, unless you are referring to Liberal fanatics who know what is best for the common pheasants in America.

I 100% agree, I just wish more could see the other side's guilt as well.

"The common pheasants"? "I dont see no"? Honestly, I can't imagine why nobody wants YOU running the country. :roll:

We all know what fascism is...and we all know it when we see it. The uncomfortable silence or the blustery denials and misdirection (you're that second one) you get when you bring up the topic tells me that everyone really does know it when they see it, even if they pretend otherwise.

I'm a liberal, so it's much easier for me to see the ass clowns on the other side for what they really are. But I'm not stupid, I know we have our share of morons too...the scary part for me is that it IS harder to see when they're not part of the GWB cheerleading squad.

OMG, you just called him a name! How old are you, 8?

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

They forgot a few...

When you can't freely practice your religion anywhere you want...
When you can't improve/develop your land (that you paid for and hold title to) because of an endangered snail or some other such nonsense...
When you can't smoke in a BAR...
When your company can be fined for having a handrail mounted 2" too high...

And there's the problem. Everyone is concerned about what the other guy is doing, but they couldn't care less about the ways they are hurting freedom in this country. If I hear one more conservative bitch about how oppressed Christians are, while at the same time arguing against the 4th amendment, I'm going to have to hit someone in the face. And that goes equally for liberals as well, although I think we are far less annoying about it.

I did neither...

And I totally disagree with your last statement.

Top reason why we are not moving towards fascism - Because anyone can post those types of alarmist videos on publicly available websites.

I'm not talking about you in particular or those particular issues, I'm talking about this general silliness where people ignore what conservative are doing but get their panties in a world class bunch over what liberals are doing (and the other way around, too). And while I won't put words in your mouth, I can't help but notice how you object to rules about handrail height but not secret prisons.

Don't see it changing anytime soon either.
