There are some guys at work that have been disgussing where the goverment is currently headed. Some of them think we might be heading to an all out police state. Some of the laws that are being drafted now are unconstitutional and fullfill a desire to convict a person incase there is nothing they can hold against the person.
Anyway, some of the guys at work speculate that we may be facing another civil war in our not so distant future. I'm not putting my 2 cent on that but I would like to know what everone else thinks....

I believe there will be a revolution in the works soon... things are starting to get ridiculous in this country. I've talked to quite a few people who agree that it's not going to be much longer before people stop taking all this crap from the government. They're trying to regulate everything under the sun. The only thing that's free anymore is air to breathe and I'm sure they're in the process of taxing it somehow.

Guys, the civil war isn't until 2012. Yeesh.

I disagree. Where its headed is a police state, but it cant go there until the citizens are disarmed. Thats the next step. The government fears an armed population. Hire Rudy Giuliani for president and he will show you how its done. Under his watch in NYC the number of concealed weapons permits dropped substantially. In other words many of those that posessed concealed weapons permits had the permits revoked.
He is one of the "R" elite-ists ( as opposed to "D" elite-ist...same thing different letter) .
Its ok for the elite to pack heat but not the "stupid" general population. If anyone could come up with a way to murder Charleton Heston and disarm the citizens its ole Rudy.

I love how people suppose that a fringe group of armed militias are going to stand up to the US government.

I mean, that's how it's going to happen according to Titor, sure.

/also curious about comparisons to the insurgency in Iraq...

I have to agree with Ricker. And a question... if I have to fear the Republicans are taking my guns do I vote democrat?

The concept of citizens effectively standing up to (not harassing, but making a stand) against US troops is ridiculous. If there is any revolt it would have to come from within the military, and why do you think they are as divided as they are?

I thought the civil war was going to be in 2005?

I actually went and checked. :)

Most accounts have Titor claiming that Civil War seems more and more likely beginning in late 04/early 05. Fun stuff doesn't start until '08. Some accounts have him mentioning 2012 as when the Russkies nuke everyone.

This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...it is my responsibility to enforce all the laws that haven't been passed yet. It is also my responsibility to alert each and every one of you to the potential consequences of various ordinary everyday activities you might be performing which could eventually lead to *The Death Penalty* (or affect your parents' credit rating). Our criminal institutions are full of little creeps like you who do wrong things...and many of them were driven to these crimes by a horrible force called MUSIC!

Our studies have shown that this horrible force is so dangerous to society at large that laws are being drawn up at this very moment to stop it forever! Cruel and inhuman punishments are being carefully described in tiny paragraphs so they won't conflict with the Constitution (which, itself, is being modified in order to accommodate THE FUTURE).

If you can load or unload, go to the white zone.

You'll love it.

Elitists

They are the same boys, they are the same. The so called elite are the same, no matter what party affiliation they have. That was one of the points. I read it again and it was plain to me anyways. Your vote will get the same results no matter which party candidate gets in.

Read what they are doing in China with the families that are breaking the family size laws.
Its the local governments that are burning houses and forcing women to have abortions.
They dont fear the peasants because they know they wont get their head blown off.

So you are dead wrong about the elite fearing an armed population.
Dead wrong. They will go house to house searching residences for firearms just like the did
in Brittain and Australia. When that is acomplished we will see the Stalinist elite in action.
Or I should say the people affected will see it. The press is part of the elite so they wont report the atrocities.

I never vote for anybody, I always vote against.

They're more in fear of an INFORMED population.

It is certainly better than getting your filtered and prespun "truthiness" from the FNC and CNN.

It is certainly better than getting your filtered and prespun "truthiness" from the FNC and CNN.

or ABC, CBS/NBC, CSpan, and the list goes on....the problem is, that news is only good for the facts. There's nothing wrong with watching the news, however when you take what they feed you at face value then your no better then the guy who doesn't vote at all. And the guys who claim to be independant thinkers.... well, don't listen to them either, cause they usually aren't.

[edweird]

to be honest I watch FNC and CNN in semi equal shares, BBC from time to time, and the others you mentioned when they are covering something I deem worth setting the DVR for.

as for internet news sources and blogs, the list would be vastly longer, and without the massive bias to protect the interests of the megacorp advert VP's you see on broadcast news.

You are right that there is nothing wrong with watching the news however with less than 3% of citizens reading non-fiction books, less than 15% reading newspapers(if only for the sports section), who vastly know nothing that was not beamed to them via the TV, it is without doubt that you have to worry about what is being peddled as "truth" by the likes of Viacom(CBS/Comedy Central/WestwoodONE/MTV,VH1,CMT,BET/Paramount), News Corp(FOX/SKY/NYPost/Myspace/TV Guide), Disney(ABC/ESPN), and GE/Vivendi(NBC/Universal).

Regardless, we need to keep an eye on our rights... for there are megacorps and special interests with large pockets turning our representives against us for some part of the money grab. Or you all could just go on getting raped for your rights and getting milked like good consumer sheeple.
