The evidence has been pointing that way for some time: in the stochastic incitements to violence; in the increasingly extreme” Second Amendment” advocacy; and, last summer, in the brazen parading by the youngest Koch brother of his very own tanks and heavy artillery through a small Colorado town, though in fact the very wealthy have been war-gaming with this stuff for some time.
National Guard and regular military units have for some time been infiltrated by Dominionist chaplains, anti Muslim indoctrination of the most murderous kind is carried out there, and – in contradiction to the United States Code – even our overseas units in combat zones are bombarded with Fox-wing newscasts implying our President is “one”.
We are looking at some grim prospects. Maybe Jakarta. Maybe Santiago. Maybe worse.
Don’t let fear write the script, but let vigilance and prudence inform it.
Remember last year's soldiers who killed some people as they prepared their mission to kill Obama and overturn the government? And all of these open threats in various states?
All of my state leaders were under death threats and these people are getting elected with a lot of out of state money and organizing. Representative government is under siege, and what we've been denying, and fleeing from here are the siren calls that to bring order is to be a police state.
We're being hit from the right and the 'left,' which seems so like the right it's hard to believe they want a representative government to exist as they do nothing but degrade it, attack those who say it can do some good and refuse to work in it. The CT is funded by the Koch, so are the Teas and Libertarians, they are not stupid, but damn if they aren't vicious in the extreme, and not stopping.
As the comment said, not to live in fear, but we are seeing this country physically torn about by this philosophy. At what point do we say that it's against our lawful government, when so many refuse to heed anything the government says it is charged to do, enforce laws, healthcare, etc?
If DU is any representation of what we are going to do to resist these reactionaries, we are setting ourselves up to fail.
