In other words, I am going to read what you write and watch what you say. Hopefully you will be fair and impartial as you told me you would be.

We're not easily offended and don't want people to think they have to walk on eggshells around here (like at another place that shall remain nameless) but of course, there is a limit to everything.
Play nice!
That’s how the Obama campaign works, intimidation and litigation.
That isn’t cool at all. I think the issue is that it isn’t Obama’s fault (after seeing the coverage), and that needs to be stressed, just as if any on the other side has done the same (which is suggested but not confirmed) it isn’t McCain’s fault.
Well, this will go hand and hand when they start demanding reparations. First, the intimidation and silencing before the shake down.
BARRY OBAMA = Karl Marx Theory + THE Rev. Jesse Jackson Business Model
It’s actually closer to the “Social Justice” infused Socialism of the 1960s Black activists / radicals. And of course there’s now video to support that conclusion, so it’s not like I’m claiming any specific brilliance in political-social-economic theory.
We are all free Men (and women). Born under the Constitution and granted Rights that are recognized by our Government.
Among them are freedom of speech, specifically to point out corruption in Government.
Please, Mr lawyer. Please come get me. You represent a sham artist of the highest order. Someone who either so plainly lies day to do or has the worst judgement on Planet Earth (Yes, even worse than the idiots who win the Darwin Awards).
I beg you, Mr. lawyer. Come get me. Please try. Let’s see who’s principles are more sound. A Free Man born under the Constitution, or a socialist-defending scum lawyer.
(How’s that for a thinly veiled threat?)
Lance,
this is Fascism.
Radan you are right.
Rodan,
Fascism doesn’t actually exist except as a pejorative means of describing a broad set of behaviors – with the possible exception of Mussolini-Fascism as a means of describing certain political-economic strategies.
What Obama is doing is just a reasonably bloodless form of totalitarianism. He follows the “dissent is treason” school of thought and many of his followers seem to follow the “dissent is heresy or blasphemy” school of thought ala The Inquisition.
I guess that would make the “Truth Squads” the equivalent of the Office of the Question.
jonolan,
You have a valid point. Let me rephrase, he’s a Totalitarain. He will silence his critics.
He can’t silence me. He can only try.
