Nightmares are for sharing... George W. Bush, Eternally ??

[galloglas]

I started a thread about "Jesus Camp" this week, found below.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=2179639#2184084

As threads often do, there are subthreads which go O/T.

Considering the legislation going through Congress in the last 48 hours (HR 4844 & the Senate's "Freedom to Torture" act), I have since wondered about the O/T thought I posted was not an accidental vision/warning of the future.


My post (a reply to another post):


You quoted the lady, above:

"My mommy told me she would vote for George Bush four times if she could."

and the thing that I must have had nagging me for years just popped right to the front of my mind.

I've never seen anyone who said (that I've seen, anyway) what I have been subconsciously fearing. But, maybe they have.

I have had a feeling that, somehow, someway, when it comes time for Bush to leave, he will not go.

I think it may come from a tone of voice, a turn of phrase, or some other little thing I've noticed sometime, when he refers to the future. It's as if he can't think of any future in which he is not the President.

It's very odd, now that I think of it. Bush may not be conscious of it at all. And, perhaps, as many people believe, he is actually as mad as a hatter. Or, like Hitler, he is afflicted with a personality disorder of such magnitude that the megolamania bleeds through.

I'm not looking forward to that time, so soon,when he shall have to leave... or do something we never dreamed of. But, through 2006, he has already done so many things I could never have dreamed of him doing!

I hope that lady who wants to vote for him four times never gets her wish.



So, does anyone share this same nightmare?

1. Maybe that's Rove's October Surprise. Martial Law and an official

Bush dictatorship.

2. Of Course. That's so ridiculous it MUST be true !!

What's that old saying "Through a glass darkly, we see"?

You sure cleared off that lens! Now that you've stated it, perhaps it won't happen.

6. Any objection will be met with the Air Force microwave crowd-

control cum head-exploding zapper beam.

They also have that sound weapon that can cripple you, too.

I don't think they'd hesitate for a nanosecond to *Kent State* any protester.

7. And, if not today...

then certainly the day after.

These bastards are so evil, I find myself hoping the Fundies are right about the Apocalypse.

The Beast in Revelation can't have much to compare with these cerebellum-sucking, sociopathic, lizard swine.

Thanks for posting your thoughts.

3. Ever since the day he stole Office.

There is nothing in *'s past or present behavior that suggests he would accept the idea of leaving power voluntarily.

To be fair, many of us felt the same about Richard Nixon.

If * does step down, my guess would be they'll have somebody equally odious to take his place.

4. Yes, although in MY nightmare

he's holed up in the WH, refusing to come out, and the feds have to send a SWAT team in to get him. Then the nightmare morphs into a rather pleasant dream in which he is marched out the front door in handcuffs (to wild applause). He and his compatriots-in-crime are quickly transported to the Hague where they are tried and convicted of war crimes. They are all imprisoned for life and we get back to being a half-way decent country again.

Okay, I'm being stupidly optimistic. Sadly, this could happen only in an Al Pacino movie or something.

Your dictator-for-life scenario is much more likely.... :hide:

Fuck.

5. Yes...and God I pray I am wrong...

I've had this nightmare since 9/12/2001. I have had nothing concrete to back it up, it's a hunch or an intuition, or just a nightmare. But I would be completely unsurprised if he willingly and voluntarily left office either before, on, or after Jan. 20, 2009. I've been waiting for him to declare martial law, or suspend the Constitution; I fully believe he would love to do it and has been waiting for what he considers the "right time." Lately I've thought that the "right time" might be the November elections. If the Dems win, the Republicult screams election fraud and get their operatives out there screaming. If the Republicult steals it again, the Dems are going to be fed up and we could have mass protests in the streets. Either way, we could have massive civil disobedience, so many people are just totally fed up with the status quo. We could see the same kind of turmoil we saw in the late 60's, the same kind of turmoil in which Kent State happened, only worse - much worse.

God knows it makes me sound like a certifiably batshit crazy paranoid, that's why I never say it out loud to anyone except an occasional comment to mr liberty. But I have this sense of (I hate to put it this way) impending doom. I keep telling myself I'm overreacting, and I keep praying that I'm overreacting. I have less and less times that I feel hopeful about the future, even now when things actually look better than they have for a while. I usually maintain a postive outlook, but that kernel of horror remains deep inside.
