O.K. how long till marshall law?

[OffWithTheirHeads]

We know that we are dealing with the most ruthless administration since Adolph Hitler. In my mind, there is no doubt that they were complicit in 911. These people have NO conscience. They will do anything, including attack our own country to consolidate their power. Do you really think they will allow free elections to usurp their power? They are guilty of too many crimes to let that happen! Can you even imagine a tribunal wherein they have to stand and defend their actions? They will never let it happen.

I predict another "attack" , followed by a declaration of Marshall Law and a suspension of elections until the "war on terra" has ended. Of course, the war will never end.

I'm sorry, I just don't think these evil bastards are going to relinquish power as easily as an election.

Just my take on the whole thing.

Anyone wan't to put up a poll? Before the election or before the swearing in?

[niyad]

1. you mean martial law, I presume?

[XemaSab]

7. I think I went out with Marshall Law once

but he had bad breath so I never saw him again.

[MADem]

18. Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck

But wasn't Marshall Law a Law student? Got a partnership at Dewey, Cheatham and Howe? A distant relative of a whole host of US military heroes--General Nuisance, Major Azzole, Corporal Punishment and Private Partz?

You were lucky that his classmate and frat brother, that pig Heywood Jablowme, didn't try to date you! He roomed with that creepy guy, Bud Tugly--you remember him, he used to date Ophelia Thigh...!

I love goofy stuff like that!!!

[OffWithTheirHeads]

13. Fine, I didn't spell it right

so you want a medel for spell checker or would you like to discuss the issue?

[OffWithTheirHeads]

31. Funny shit. so would you like to answer the question?

Or just make fun of my spelling?

[Subdivisions]

2. If they try, there will be an upheaval the likes of which has

never been seen in the history of this planet.

[donheld]

50. There are so many things this administration has done

that should have cause an upheaval that never came about. Spying, Torture etc. Sometimes I'm beginning to wonder if anything will get people riled up enough to start even a slight upheaval.

[cynatnite]

3. Well, Marshall Dillon was one tough dude...

but martial law...I'm not looking for it the near future.

[shadowknows69]

5. I wouldn't fuck with either.

Just sayin.

[Dune]

8. Martial Law

By the time we believe it could happen it will have happened. http://www.sianews.com/modules.php?name=News&file=artic...

[Garbo 2004]

48. Wow Mather AFB on that list sounds scary, forbiddingly closed off to the

public and all, except for this wee fact: it isn't. In fact, it's gone commercial, business park, housing, recreation: http://www.matherfield.com/general-information/index.ht...

McClellan's also largely gone to commercial use. http://www.mcclellanpark.com/index.html

Sacramento Army Depot now owned by city and has been turned into business park.

Of course since the web site you link to asserts that "Mental hospitals, closed hospitals & nursing homes, closed military bases, wildlife refuges, state prisons, toxic waste dumps, hotels and other areas all have varying degrees of potential for being a detention camp area" which means they view vitually any place as a potential site, I guess they're not too picky about whether the info they put up is actually accurate or plausible. Merely the assertion is enough to "authoritatively" prove that a facility is a detention camp facility. If it has other uses and activities, it's a "disguise" because the site says so.

And why does this friends of liberty site you link to say it's the "voice of the right?" Did you notice that? Apparently the guy who runs the site was a John Bircher. That's the old far right of the right wing. Big on gov't conspiracies, the threat of "one world gov't" etc. decades ago. It's a RW site (not neocon, but the old RW). Even Faux News isn't right wing enough for them. Check out the tribute to "American Patriot" Helen Chenoweth on their LibertyThink site.

[Kagemusha]

4. Dude. You're already living under it.

Bush has long claimed the constitutional power to do what that detainee bill that Congress passed is now giving Congress' stamp to: declare any American to be an enemy combattant and to have no constitutional or civil rights whatsoever, imprisoned at the pleasure of the President through the military forces under his command.

There is no "how long". It's already here, it's just been applied on an individual basis so you and most of the country hasn't noticed.

[Dune]

12. right on the $

Amen! It's here and being applied to those that make em feel threatened.

[Tellurian]

27. Thanks, Dune..

for posting the detention sites.

I haven't looked at it for a very long time
And the last time I did see that site, the listing
of Executive Orders weren't spelled out.

I might have missed it, but is there anything there
about banking interests?

[pooja]

22. Martial Law has not been installed yet... I think that vigilence is

needed. Everyday another person wakes up. Its frustrating... but if we are to believe in "man" we need to convey peace and love behind every message. Screaming from the tops of our lungs does nothing. If you wake one person up in a week...then that person will turn and wake another. Its like a good disease. Don't get down, be positive, speak clearly, speak often, and walk with grace. Your actions speak volumes. Don't ever forget love is an action.

[spag68]

42. Remember

the new terror law says he can take anyone he decides is a terrorist and disappear them. By criticizing him we all become eligible.

[jokerman93]

46. Bingo

We are living in an occupied country.

[twilight_sailing]

6. Put your money where your mouth is.

Name a date. Put up $100.

I WILL take your money.

[ButterflyBlood]

9. *sigh* as much as I hate these folks...

To call them "the most ruthless administration since Adolph Hitler." is just the type of nonsense the Freepers and media like to pick out to make us all look like kooks.

Seriously, as bad as Bush and Co are, saying that they are worse and more ruthless than the Khmer Rouge, Maoist China, North Korea, Sudan, Rwanda during the Genocide, Serbia under Milosevic, Saddam, the Pakistani military regime of Yahya Khan and tons of other folks since WWII is something I just can't buy.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

20. Oh really?

Torture is O.K.
Sighning statements excuse the executive and absolve him from all laws.
Habius Corpus is absolved
The executive can declare anything classified.

Read "The rise and fall of the third Reich." What is happening now is a mirror image except Hitler was actually elequent.

[ButterflyBlood]

25. And that stuff didn't happen in the regimes mentioned? n/t

[twilight_sailing]

33. tmfun

Where is my bet? Where is my money?

[Garbo 2004]

40. That would be "habeas corpus" and it hasn't been "absolved." n/t

[pooja]

24. You know, I think they are the most ruthless. We are to learn from

the past... We, as a free democratic society are to lead. How do we lead? We torture. This is not our country. This is Bush country. I want the constitution back. I want our rights restored. And I want to leave a sense of dignity with my children.

[ButterflyBlood]

30. They are worse than any other government the country has had YES but

That doesn't make them the worse since Hitler. Torture and lack of civil rights certainly were issues in the regimes mentioned too. We can criticize these people for the path we are being taken down without using outrageous hyperbole that makes us no longer taken seriously.

[spag68]

44. sorry

They are worse then that, all of those you mentioned.

[ButterflyBlood]

47. In what way?

It's a rather bold claim to say that the Bush Admin is worse than the Khmer Rouge without mentioning anything to back it up.

[DUyellow]

45. agree

[KharmaTrain]

10. I Was Expecting Marshall Fields

But they're now known as Macys.

I'd say this regime has long declared Marshall McLuan...they truly have proven the medium is the message.

[shadowknows69]

15. Nobody expects Macy's

except perhaps at Thanksgiving. Drunk. Never mind.

[KharmaTrain]

21. Don't Drink Too Much...

...you may start getting delusions to become a Repugnican Congressman.

[shadowknows69]

28. Oh hell no

There's not enough tequila in Tijuana.

[Swamp Rat]

34. That's we have it all here in New Orleans

the alcohol that is.

[shadowknows69]

36. Heya Swampy!!!

Actually Anheiser Bush piss is the poison of the night. I'm a loyal subject of the (self named) King of Beers. You should join the drunken sex thread we have going on!!!

<http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph... >

[Swamp Rat]

37. Already there

Dry as a bone here.

[Dune]

17. McCluan

The medium is the cage.

[Rex]

11. Bad news week - they don't need to declare martial law.

With no Habeas Corpus, no need! Funny how that works. Suspend the Davis-Bacon act and fix the problem with Halliburton making direct sales from the Whitehouse. All legal and easy to do with a docile Congress Dome. Magna Carta done got up and went bye bye.

[babylonsister]

16. Poof! Times they are a changin'... nt

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

14. And then there's...

Marshall Wittman. Marshall, Penny. Marshall Arts. Marshall Music.

Any number can play! Fun for the whole family!

[OffWithTheirHeads]

26. Yeah, and then there was a time when we could actually have

an intelligent discussion here. Oh well.

[badgerpup]

29. Color me scared...

Bush would like nothing better than to declare martial law...
kiss the election good-bye and get used to "Sieg Heiling" the President-for-life.

[alittlelark]

19. Feral animals backed into a corner will do ANYTHING to escape.

Calling the BFEE 'feral' is an insult to wild animals everywhere.

We live in interesting times.

[Marie26]

23. Is that sort of like the Marshall Plan? nt

[niyad]

32. look, we have all had a really bad week, and people are just trying

to have a little fun.
look at it this way--although you may have wanted a serious debate, you actually acted as a relief valve for a lot of people. that, in my opinion, is a good thing (remember that MASH episode with the bonfire??)

[cynatnite]

35. I remember 'DU this pole'

That was great. Sometimes DU can get people a little too serious and it always helps to be able to laugh in the midst of all this craziness we're stuck in.

[niyad]

38. that's pretty much the way I look at it. we need all the humour and

laughs we can get!!

[Swamp Rat]

39. LOLOLOL!

Was it about Pope John Paul?

[cynatnite]

43. Just one of many poles that got the DU treatment

[OffWithTheirHeads]

41. O.K. I'll buy it. God I hope you are right. If I am right, we are

really in trouble!
