How does the nightmare end?
The runaway train that is the Bush pResidency continues on its path of destruction.

Like it or not, we are all on board. I hear the screams all around me. I see the hysteria and fear that have been created by the mad conductor who hijacked this train.

But I will not be distracted by the inevitable any longer. I am the silent passenger now. I stare ahead wondering what the final impact will be.

Every principle that I have held about justice and the law and right and wrong and consipiracies and evil and prevailing good and America--my reality--has disappeared.

Are we all doomed? Will I be among the few, lucky survivors? I stare out the window, in the distance, hoping for Superman.

2. Either we win on 11/7 or there will be a military coup before the
Shrub's term is out in my opinion.

4. Now there's an idea
People like Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and we surely know Sam Adams would be on board for that.

5. Strange. I've been getting those feelings too of a military coup.
I don't know if this would be so good. Let's hope if it happens that the military who takes over thinks more like Wesley Clarke than Ricardo Sanchez of Abu Ghraib fame.

9. Have you been watching Michael Ware on CNN? I think he's
been hinting that mutiny is in the air in Iraq. Could be wishful thinking.

13. I don't watch CNN anymore, but with the retired Generals
speaking up last week, something is in the air. You know without the military, BushCo has practically no protection or power really. All he has is the SS and if the military decide to back up Congress or let's say those Congressmen, like Conyers who are trying to get Bush served with impeachment papers, he would have to leave the country in a hurry or take his chances on being arrested.

14. I turn on CNN in the morning to make sure the World is still
somewhat functioning and I need to go to work. Ware is pretty good when he is live, because he can say what he wants, I've noticed though that they are using that woman with the Brit accent a lot more.

8. They will be rounding up dissidents (us) before too long...
Fascist dictators always round up dissidents, and imprison or kill them.

10. Guys who have been stop lossed and have done two or three
Edited on Fri Sep-29-06 09:27 PM by rzemanfl
tours in Iraq are going to round up their fellow citizens and put them in cattle cars? I can probably fend off the local cops with a dozen Krispy Kremes, it would have to be the military-or Blackwater, and under Florida law I can shoot Blackwater guys.

18. Wait a while, the housing market is crashing here and you can
buy cheap later. If you have young kids and don't want them to grow up ignorant, stay where you are.

12. I was thinking today, that for all of the crimes they have committed
that something like a sex scandal, something personal, is what will be their downfall because people seem to relate more to that kind of thing. Whatever this personal event is, I hope that it materializes soon.

19. Your nightmare will end in an execution chamber in a concentration camp
Edited on Fri Sep-29-06 09:59 PM by Selatius
A camp built by Kellog, Brown & Root, a company that was awarded the government contract to build the concentration camps. Everybody assumed they were built to house the illegal immigrants if the government began cracking down on employers and deporting the workers.

I'm being morbid; I know.
