War on Terror, Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, O.I.F, a lot of things we got under Bush would have been considered "fucking silly" before he, you know, actually did them.
Some day, maybe, the American people will realize just how ruthlessly the Bushistas exploited a national tragedy as a political windfall to advance an authoritarian agenda.
Until that day comes, no President dares to undo what they accomplished. Witness what happened when Obama tried to close the prison at Guantanamo. Witness what happened when Dems tried to soften the Patriot Act. Shee-it, Sherlock- witness the skullduggery behind Bibi's speech to Congress.
Yeah Obama has been trying to roll back that Patriot Act.

And we know what happened since thanks to Snowden.

As I said the loonie left. Not the mainstream left. But I remember other threads on this msgboard about it in 07-08.

of course, all sources with just about the same credibility as WND, so make sure you have plenty of salt.
Hey! I pointed out that it was the crazy fringe on my team (to the extent I have a team) that first started this specific type of crazy conversation.This is the last relevant post in this thread.
That is post #9. From post 10+, the discussion is basically: "well, it was the crazy fringe on the other team that first started this specific type of crazy conversation! waaaaa!"
Guys, we are through the looking glass here, and we should all be ashamed of ourselves.
I believe deep in my heart that Obama is a Muslim because he's dark.
Thy meter, she is broken. Really, really, really broken.
thanks for your prejudices and burn in hell
I believe deep in my heart that Obama is a Muslim because he's dark. I also believe that he will not cede power and there will be no election in November of 2016. He will commit a false flag attack against the US, blame it on terrorism, and say for security reasons there won't be an election. He will also suspend the constitution in the interests of national security. I believe this because I barely got through high school, work a shit job, have a shit wife, and my weak mind is as malleable as my fat stomach. I glean what little information fits into my head from absurd, almost parody-like right wing publications and talking heads. Sometimes I take the stupid shit I find online and post it on the wrong forums--ones with people who might even be college educated, and I get laughed off stage.
Thy meter, she is broken. Really, really, really broken.
Yup.Especially since one only needed to read to like the third sentence of the post before it got really blatantly obvious that it was a parody post.
1Adam12 1Adam12 See the man who starts ignorant threads.
I remember when the loonies on the left constructed a scenario where Bush declares marshall law, suspended the election in 2008, and stayed in power. A bunch of hogwash.
Well lets construct a scenario and see if it has even the slightest bit of believability, and lets establish some things that we know to be true that Obama also knows.

I wonder, what do you think? Do you guys believe that Obama is planning to stay on past his second term? There is no evidence, but...who knows! As for me, I see a zero percent chance for Obama to get a third term.
