')]My opinion, and the reason I posted it, was that the first page of this thread was almost a poster child definition of what Godwin's law is about. The Nazi reference popped up, abruptly, hugely, as if it added something substantial to the discussion;at least when PS does it, it usually has some lead in with references to Mein Kampf or whatever..

Myself, I rarely use the term "Godwin's Law" as I'm just not impressed by Nazi's and Nazi parallels to begin with. They don't kill the conversation for me, any more that someone randomly writing, "Doug has hair" in a thread. This however, was just so blatant and ridiculous that it made me laugh, so I felt compelled to comment on.

I hope this bill becomes law and is turned against the treasonists, that is, Congress.

All they do is fill their pockets and fiddle while Rome burns.

As long as American Fascism is on the table, you can certainly find it on any online forum associated with fox.

Look at Glenn Becks website and commenters reaction to the Chris Chrisitie's "What are we paying you for?" comment regarding Obama.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/chris-c ... c#comments

Fine let's run with that for the moment because that is the fastest way to uncover psychotic ideas. OK, Obama is a feckless, rudderless, cowardly, spineless wimp. Then why are these poeple obsessed with guns and violence?

If you read the comments, again and again these people make it clear that they are determined to kill somebody, preferably in large numbers and install a Mussolini like "Great Man." Admitedly, Christie fans may be over represented in this group. But if Obama and his supporters are cowardly, unarmed, stupid, effeminate, and clueless, why are Christie's fans so obsessed with killing them?

I think it does go back to how the nazis characterized the jews - they were supposedly phyiscally and intellectually stunted to the point of literally being subhuman, filthy promiscuous drug addicted conspiring vermin (sounds like how Fox describes OWS doesn't it? Coincidence?). In addition to supposedly being weak, stupid, and degenerate, they were unarmed and allegely wrong about literally everything. So why was it such a crisis that the whole nation was supposed to mobilize and exterminate them? It's been suggested the the Nazis were fighting "the supernatural Jew," a creature that they insisted was no more imposing than an earthworm, yet more dangerous than the smallpox virus.

It seems to me that these violence prone wingnuts are obsessed with the idea of the "supernatural obama" and the "supernatural liberals" who are somehow going to parlay liberal physical, mental, and spiritual degeneracy and laziness into an iron global tyranny.

See? If you just listen to what people say, you can see pretty quickly see that a lot of these people are basically psychotic and dangerous. Hitler certainly spent 12 years telling the world exactly what he intended to do, and nobody listened.

A short dissertation from the 50's on the "authoritarian" personality. It's worth considering the socio economic trends in the western world since then, and the roles those trends may have played in nurturing this sort of personality disorder in the general population, providing for a rather wide base of support for the implementation of authoritarian measures if they protect or promote their interests, I.E. a willingness to submit to tyranny for the opportunity to become a minor tyrant oneself, i.e. "management" in a world where labor has no rights.

[Ibon]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'I')bon on the OWS thread suggests conversational restraint. Hum? Personally I don't buy it. There is a meme out there held by %44.5 of the population (the other half are tea baggers) that moves and mutates very quickly now. No one person is worth tracking or monitoring--except in person at events. We should be able to blather here with impunity.

I welcome our new future overlords five years hence. Whether you be left-wing or right wing overlords, let me be your guide in rooting out the conspirators and plotters.

[Oakley]

Always look on the bright side of peak oil and deteriorating EROEI.

Surely the lack of energy to fuel industrial economies will ultimately bring down political entities like the federal government. The lack of energy will force localization and destroy centralization. The federal government is already bankrupt, and cannot come even close to meeting its obligations whether they are the formal bonded debts or the retirement and insurance programs embodied in Social Security and Medicare, and I remind you that it was bankruptcy that forced the dissolution of the counterpart of the US, i.e., the Soviet Union back in the 1990's.

As the developing depression deepens, the federal government will be pushed further against the financial wall, and the resentment toward it will intensify. Already there is widespread contempt and even hatred for those who occupy the seats of power and for those corporate powers that pull their strings. While the proximate cause of the current depression seems to be the faulty monetary system centered on the Federal Reserve Bank which creates the boom/bust cycle, the most probably underlying cause is the maturation of the oil industry (end of cheap oil and failure of production to expand).

How effective do you think the tyrants in Washington, DC will be as the energy to support them dries up? The control structure and military are based on electronics, and they will be worthless without electricity. If Richard Duncan is correct and the electric grid will fail early in the oil decline, then we may be within 10 to 20 years of not having electricity. And, if we fall into civil war or revolution, you can bet that the countless unprotected transmission lines and coal delivering rail lines will be targets.

So by the time the goons in Washington, DC decide to use their new usurpation of power against a significant number of American dissidents, it will likely be too late in their own disintegration to save them from the fate of the countless number of regimes that have in the past lost the support of the citizenry.

Anyone who wants to see an unusually explicit thread of comments about "hunting down liberals," how Christians must be prepared to violently resist the liberal conspiracy, assassinations, and armed repression of OWS, check out Beck's site here for some seriously disturbing wankery.

I hope to God each of these people is on a government watch list.
