My grim prediction
cjd:
If you made this statement a year ago I would have said you were off the wall. In light of the way things have been going in the past 6 months or so I think many aspects of what you say could well be the case. I am very concerned with two things. The first is the fact that most people just don't care or really understand what the government is up to as long as the lights and TV come on its all good. The fact that a creature like Obama has got this close to the presidency and most people have little or no concern only proves this. The second thing is the fact that Obama will be president with a one party majority. With Obamas leanings this could be a very dangerous situation. Laws could very easily put into place that could change society greatly and not much could be done to stop it. If you think that Obama's presidency will only affect America think again. Look at last week when the American economy started to slide how quickly all the others followed right down the tubes.

Look this is important.
He can't take away all of the freedoms immediately. That would be impossible. So what you have to look out for and guard against is his ability to take away personal rights bit by bit. There are certain freedoms that once they are gone, they are gone permanently. Do not let him pass a law the prohibits criticism of religion! And just as important, do not let him take away your guns. If either of these things happen, then I think we will see the type of situation you are imagining. But Obama will not be able to dismantle all of America's political systems in one shot.

Its all over, all over.
What a legacy, what a legacy.

I would not have made this statement a year ago. :'( I am not paranoid (I think!). Neither am I a conspiracy theorist. But there are some new realities we have to contend with. And my scenario, I am afraid, is not science fiction any longer. :'(

We have to be vigilant. But if evil activist judges interpret the freedom of speech in a new, highly restrictive way (which they are already doing in Europe and Canada!!!) then what are we to do? We'll be helpless under such new draconian laws.
