Interesting. I tried to search and find summaries of what the 10 steps are, and finally found them:

All despots or would-be dictators follow the same 10 steps:

1. All invoke a terrifying internal or external threat.
2. Establish secret prison systems where torture takes place, outside the rule of law..
3. Create paramilitary force that is not answerable to the citizens.
4. Create surveillance aperatus that is aimed at ordinary citizens.
5. Infiltrate citizens groups
6. Arbitrarily detain and release citizens
7. Target key individuals
8. Restrict the press
9. Refer to criticism as espionage and dissent as treason
10 Subvert the rule of law.

Looks like most of them have already happened?

...Definitely worth investigating further...

she just called the national socialists in the germany conservatives.

she also said she can't understand the bill of rights without someone "explaining" it to her.

sounds like a empty headed woman

she just massacred the 2nd amendment. and said it was so the governers could control the national guard.

this lady is a loser.

I dunno, I'll admit I only half listened to what she was saying (had it running in the background), but I thought she said she opposed liberals getting into office, that they would make things worse?

I'll have to listen to it again when I'm not busy.

at the end she plugs her new website, co-founded with the "head of moveon.org"

i can't believe you got sucked into this bullshit.

this lady is a left wing socialist, if not communist loser. she has absolutely no clue about the world around her.

its funny you brought this up, she predicted in this lame interview that this election would be meaningless and that something would happen so bush could stay in power forever.

well there is 6 weeks left for "king bush" to take control. will she lose all credibility (she doesn't have) when this doesn't happen?

she also said congress is meaningless right now, but then she asks you to write your congressman to make them do something.

typical loser. much brains

she kept saying democracy this democracy that.

democracy is what has gotten us to where we are. democracy is mob rule, and always leads to socialism, and lack of liberty.

out system is a constitutional republic.

this lady is a piece of shit

Some of you guys apathy is staggering, that clip has nothin to do with who she would vote for or who she wants you to vote for.:banghead: pull your head out of the sand!
tipsymcstagger: "she just called the national socialists in the germany conservatives." she wasn't bagging on conservatives, it was a matter of fact they were conservatives! they perverted some ideals and became what they did, conservatives are not above that sort of thing, nobody is. if were listening you might have heard that.
tipstmcstagger: "he also said she can't understand the bill of rights without someone "explaining" it to her."
clearly its not to easy to undersand the bill of rights, even the supreme court justices clearly could not understand it, evidenced by the vote counts. and mabe she wanted to learn if she didn't know, imagine that.
tipsymcstagger: its funny you brought this up, she predicted in this lame interview that this election would be meaningless and that something would happen so bush could stay in power forever.
well the real funny thing is he could! or obama or mccain or whoever. she wasn't talking about just him:banghead: she was talking about any president that follows too. if power is given it is always abused in some form. tipsymcstagger you are a master of the conservative over reaction to somebody criticizing your party, and the master of taking things out of context. sorry I guess I am "a piece of @#$% socialist loser too."

put down the kool aid.

our best defense against her scenario is for all able bodied citizens to be armed. she specifically said the 2nd amendment was so the governor's of states could control a national guard. she DID NOT say the 2nd amendment was an individual right.

How could we trust our state elected masters more than our federally elected masters? we can't. this lady is a kook, and frankly is not very bright.

the "smart" left wing socialists and conspiracy theorists make very vague predictions so that when they do not come true, they can continue their nonsense.

the "stupid" left wing socialists and conspiracy theorists make specific predictions, and when they do not come true are immediately marginalized. like this woman will be Jan. 20th.

if the president tried to stay in office and not let someone else in, he would be physically removed by the capitol police

I am sorry, but the attacks on this woman because she might be a liberal is the final straw. I think I am done dealing with the ignorance of the people on this forum.

Good luck in your future endeavors, I hope that you don't get weeded out by natural selection...a society will always needs dupes. You are the very people that allow people to take rights away because of your inability to separate "feelings" from fact and intentions.

Edited to change word from dopes to dupes.

bye.

did you even watch the video? she is a socialist. she does not even know what liberty and freedom is. all she knows is bush is evil and wants to take over the US and turn it into a dictatorship.

Her group is co-founded by the clown that founded moveon.org

And that statement alone does not remove all credibility? Nothing i've said is based on feelings. YOUR post is based on feelings.

You just attacked me, implying that i am "stupid". you are doing the exact thing you accuse me of.

our country is moving away from freedom, and it has for a very long time. Bush has continued this legacy, but it was started before he was even born.

the worst thing to ever happen to freedom in the united states was FRD, FRD's new deal, and hoover's FBI. all involves democrats.

removing bush and installing obama or mccain will not change a damn thing. i argue that installing obama will only accelerate the slip into socialism

ps: this is a open carry forum, this mush for brains woman totally mangled the 2nd amendment. she does not believe you and I should own or carry a firearm, she thinks that we will institute "change" by writing congressmen, and standing with signs and getting shot in the street.

how? or better yet why? the president has a leagal standing to stay in office, he made the law, you know its part of the patriot act? the fact is that if he/she does try to stay in power we the people will have to remove them, not some "capital police" hell the real polce can't even protect us. thats part of why we carry. I am done with your childish people bashing just because you don't have the same opinion as they do. it is a free country she has the right to say what the hell she wants, maybe you might listen. your political racism staggering, lol tipsymcstagger

As Tipsy said, this is an open carry forum. Even if most of the members are politically like-minded, you should not take it personally if you're not one of them. I, for one, would be happy with a Canadian-style socialized medical system. Really. But that's not what this forum is here to discuss and it doesn't bother me if everyone else thinks me a fool for believing so - we (generally) agree about gun rights, and there are other forums where one can debate political economy. I take everyone else's membership in other political parties as seriously as I take their tastes in music or fashion - nothing to get excited over. We still have common interests and that's why I'm here.

Maybe they're jealous because she knows how to use capital letters and paragraphs. :lol:

Anyhow, what turned me off to this thread is that lack of description in the title, subtitle, and OP. Breaks forum rule #1:

"[font="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"]1) Caption your thread like a newspaper headline - make it descriptive so that others will know what it is a about."

[/font]
Theseus, just hold out until November 4th, and hopefully most of this will go away. The rest should fade into the distance when the "lesser of two evils" is elected and society descends into chaos.

political racism? you are a wacko

they would have to amend the constitution for the president to have legal standing to stay in office. end of story. put down the kool aid.

the police are not here to protect you, they are here to punish you, and control you the way the govt wants. if it were up to this woman you would not be able to own a firearm or carry it.

you are doing "people bashing" me. doing the exact thing you accuse me of.

why do people like you always do this? i mean you gotta have an iq of about 30.

Are we all "ignorant" or just most of us? With the overwhelming majority of posters putting forth overwhelming support of the Bill of Rights, not just the 2nd Amendment, how does that correlate with your opinion in which we are "allowing people to take (our) rights away"? Just curious...

I pretty much agree (well not with the Canadian-style socialized medicine part as if we had that I would be dead now) but with the rest of it. There are only a few people who hop into threads and screw them up with their political views. Most people start separate avoidable threads, or just jump in and make a comment and leave it alone. We know who the few trollish posters are who are happy to destroy any thread and I think most of us pretty much ignore them now.

I can well understand the objection to poor titling leading to someone inadvertently visiting a political thread. But once that has happened, leaving and ignoring it in the future is easy enough.
