Don't let the fact that you might be an American citizen get in the way--if the neocons could put us into prisons and pile us naked together, beat us up, and put us in dog collars, they would. There is very little protecting us from ending up like these photos.

1. Agreed! It's a slippery slope!
Today its Arabs who are the "enemy" - tomorrow its U.S. citizens who cause trouble for those in power.

This is why we must protest loudly now.

2. Oh, my being an "american" doesn't mean I'm protected from my fellow
americans.....history alone shatters that myth.

3. I feel very unsafe these days
I imagine a lot of people thinking, "We should be doing that over here."

6. Considering some of the NG MP's were civilian prison guards
I would wager they were doing that here.

And yes, I think it's a safe bet that some mentalities are thinking just that...we should do that here...but doncha get the feeling they were thinking that before now? I know I do.

8. Yep, and this scares the crap out of me.
reprehensor still wants to stay until the mid-term 2006 elections.

His parents gave us the money to buy this place, and he's still worried about getting the re-sale value back and not screwing them money-wise. Personally, I like to think they'd rather we stay alive and get the hell out while we still can.

Some things are more important than money. If Bush wins this next election, he may have to face the fact that we may just be leaving with our dog and the clothes on our backs.

7. You wanted prisons, here are some for you
http://www.thesyndrome.com/archives/00000894.htm

It struck me a few days ago that if they ever did declare martial law, it would be the same 'folks' in charge of detention in the U.S....

:(

9. Jews were convenient for Hitler to demonize
right now, Middle Easterners are easy to demonize for the same reasons. So they attack the threat to the country from ME'ers as a foreign enemy, then they say they have to attack the domestic enemies. And, we are their enemy just as much as Middle Easterners.
