1. Be a Schindler, if I could
what do you mean "when" and "comes"?
as the country music song goes: "I'm already there"

2. forget protesting
When it's time to load up, it's time to load up, and whining in the streets just makes you easier to round up.

8. Stop Feeding The Monkey!
If millions of us would participate, and I mean millions, in a tax revolution. Meaning stop paying this illegal taxation. It would certainly send a message to the criminal, fascist empire that has infested our country!
Do you recall the battle cry, "No Taxation Without Representation?"

3. I'm Irish-born, so I'll die standing, rather than live kneeling.
When it's at that point, the choices aren't all that complicated.

5. What do you mean, "When"?
I'm pretty sure it's already started.

6. When, it comes?
It's like the old horror movie cliche; "they're INSIDE the house"!

I don't know what can be done, but it's certain that if one more presidential election cycle goes to the neo-cons, it's lights out for Democracy.

In which case I'll be moving northward to the friendly confines of Canada. I'm not that far away as it is, I could go by boat. I couldn't live in this country and maintain my sanity anymore. I'm walking a tightrope as it is with the bush cabal in power.

7. read the dictionary definition of fascism
A political philosophy that exalts nation and race and stands for a centralized and autocratic govt. headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation and forcible suppression of opposition. If we aren't there yet it is coming.

9. Join or form and underground resistance group.
Protesting may not be allowed and the penalties for doing so will be harsh. We will have to take it underground and do whatever is neccesary to take our country back from the nazis that are now trying to destroy the american fabric.

We may also need to help of other nations to do this.

22. They have been useless so far
We're pretty much on our own. Mexico and Canada might help a little.

10. I, as will most patriotic Americans, will go shopping
to protect the economy. Oh yes, also ask for a tax cut.

Now where are my funny little pills that make everything seem alright?

11. I'd hide
And pretend I'm a Christian and throw around their terms. I'd go into ministry, teach Buddhism as teachings of Jesus (very subtle) and get rich from them as they throw money at me (I can send them to heaven for $5,000/year). Get rich, convert them to Buddhism without them knowing and maybe use the money for a resistance movement.

25. I can get much worse, and it will,
unless we manage to stop it.

What we are seeing now, though it's very bad already, is just a precursor to actual fascism. They are working on it, and they're getting there.

18. I don't remember where I read this, maybe "Catch 22" ? . . .
If you know the train is coming you can stand on the tracks and try to stop it, or you can get on for the ride.

24. Same thing I am doing now
Posting on this message board because I'm not surrounded by fascists here on DU. Of course, you do realize the fascism has already gotten here. Right?

26. You won't be able to post here once it has actually arrived.
Then there will be no DU, and possibly no internet to speak of.
But don't worry, they are working on it.
