You know the argument has nothing to do with people being hauled off today. It has to do with what the signs on the wall are pointing to in the days ahead. Totalitarian regimes don't begin in high gear. The slowly erode the rights one at a time, almost imperceptibly.

Read my lips Tom. This stuff that your spouting means nothing to anyone that's truly paying attention now. There have been major attacks on Constitutional guarantees and it doesn't take your Aunt Alice being hauled off in chains to see that damage. Is it your contention we should never be concerned about the destruction of our Republic from within and just sit back like complacent sheep? Oh I forgot. In your mind the damage can only come from the excesses of the left.

If you can't see those erosions past your shoes and the airport, we have nothing further to talk about. Take a look at what you're saying after almost 7 years of the reign of GWB and his group. It's exactly the same now that we truly know the man and have fully documented his lies and missteps. If none of those raise a hair on the back of your neck, you're asleep or drunk with power. I sincerely hope the former.

This song you're singing about comparing our lives with that of some evolved dictatorship is an invalid one because you know as well as I do that the worries people are showing today are about preventing us from reaching that stage not a cry that we're already there. You're putting words into people's mouths to once again reframe the issue and take the heat off of your bad choices.

Here's a clue. If you don't want people rubbing your nose in those bad choices, be a little humble. Cripe, I start out in these posts trying to see both sides and be a bit of a peacemaker and by the time you fully chime in Bowser seems incredibly rational. At least he's honest and passionate. You sound more and more like an assembly line of crappy talking points. None of them have a lick of logic or facts behind them. They've just been spouted so many times that weak minds assume they're true. Your mind doesn't seem weak. If that is the case then your continual misdirection only leads to the conclusion that there's something sinister or evil behind your intent. That make you sleep at night?
