Is U.S. Now On Slippery Slope To Tyranny?

[pans trogladyta]

you assclowns should start teabaggersRus.com

we are on a path to have the rich get richer, which I like. The fact that republicans love bombing people yet call the non war party nazi's is funning and sad at the same time. But please don't stop. I love bashing rightwing morons

What part of your comments relate to the article by Thomas Sowell?
BTW
Socialists and NAZI's really do have a lot in common, don't you think.

Teabaggers, fox and nazi's have a lot in common.

We have been giving up rights for awhile, I spoke out against them when Bush was in office, however Obama has accelerated the issues. Cap and trade, the BP fiasco, establishing Government Motors, as for and getting CEO's resignations, getting us to fall in line with the bs. Mandatory health care. People ae letting it go. We need to wake up.

Yeah all those things gave up more rights than the Patriot Act?

Did Obamao finally get rid of that damned thing.

Um....No.

Turns out, the left just loves the police/snoop state, just as long as it is they who are in charge of it.

Why did Sowell wait till now to write about the Bush years?

Let me get this straight. You want me to believe that a political pundit who writes a weekly column never mentioned Bush the entire 8 years he was in office.

Got it.

BOOOOSHWHACKED!

Well that's what I thought, but I really didn't want to make anyone look like a doofus.

The doofuses here are pretty much self-selecting in that respect.

Is U.S. Now On Slippery Slope To Tyranny?

When Adolf Hitler was building up the Nazi movement in the 1920s, leading up to his taking power in the 1930s, he deliberately sought to activate people who did not normally pay much attention to politics. Such people were a valuable addition to his political base, since they were particularly susceptible to Hitler's rhetoric and had far less basis for questioning his assumptions or his conclusions.
"Useful idiots" was the term supposedly coined by V.I. Lenin to describe similarly unthinking supporters of his dictatorship in the Soviet Union.
Put differently, a democracy needs informed citizens if it is to thrive, or ultimately even survive.
In our times, American democracy is being dismantled, piece by piece, before our very eyes by the current administration in Washington, and few people seem to be concerned about it.
The president's poll numbers are going down because increasing numbers of people disagree with particular policies of his, but the damage being done to the fundamental structure of this nation goes far beyond particular counterproductive policies.

So giving because we let Bush take away rights, it's okay for Obama to take away more rights? You just proved the slippery slope theory.

Stupid logic, we all should have fought Bush harder on the Patriot Act and we all should fight alot harder on reigning in Obama.

I read this article this morning and was going to post it. I never let a good Thomas Sowell article to to waste.

Sowell is someone to admire and respect - very, very insightful. He writes some really good stuff.

The PA is nothing more than the aggregation of the drug laws rolled into an attack on freedom.
This is an issue that has been growing for some time.Both parties have been complicit .
