I can't get enough of these DU threads about leaving the country if Bush wins. I almost feel sorry for them, knowing that they actually believe this crap. Let me summarize some of the "facts" about the DU world:
-Bush and his administration are fascists, and will take over just like Hitler.
-There is a draft coming. This is not up for debate.
-The Rather apology is a sign that Bush has destroyed freedom of the press
-FOX News is an extension of the Republican Party, and will control the populace under the Bush-fascist regime.
-Dissent is being crushed at an unprecedented rate.
-Fundamentalist Christians are a bigger threat than fundamentalist Muslims.
-Bush is planning to round up liberals and put them in re-education camps.
-The Bush administration has more power than any government in the history of civilization.
You know, my biggest problem with these useful idiots is their twisted view of who they should be fighting. I'd be fine with them saying "Bush isn't doing enough to fight the enemy." But instead, they're saying "Bush is the enemy."
That's where I draw the line. It's perfectly fine to disagree with the way Bush is fighting the War on Terror, but when you claim that Bush is a bigger threat than terrorism and plan to revolt with violence if he wins again, you have started walking down the road to treason. It's not a pleasant fact, but it's true.
Posted by CD on September 21, 2004 12:25 PMThe draft. Mwheh. Off topic, but that reminded me of something I heard on the radio yesterday. Some dumb kid in Connecticut had his friend shoot him in the leg to disable him so he couldn't be drafted to go to Iraq. So his friend shot him. Now he's disabled. After the fact he found out there's no draft.
I mean, I feel bad for the kid, but... mwheh.
Posted by: Army NCO Guy at September 21, 2004 01:08 PMi remember that story about the CT kid.. perhaps just because it was top news.. personally, i don't feel sorry for him at all.
obviously i'm just a mean horrible person.
I wonder what would happen when they were faced with a conservative Democrat? Would it be like those old movie robots?
"Does not compute...does not compute..." BOOM!
*loony leftist explodes*
Maybe that's the ticket to knocking some sense into them...unless they decide to field their own candidate and make 1984 references. Then we'd have problems.
And I STILL can't figure out where the heck they get these crazy ideas from. Whatever happened to debate, that thing where the other point of view has a legitimate argument?
Posted by: Alex D. at September 22, 2004 02:08 AMi just have to wonder, though. If, big if, Kerry gets elected and thinks that for some reason volunteerism has gone down dramatiacally from what it is even now and that we need to "shore up the numbers" to help out the UN peacekeepers that are going to magically appear to help us get out of Iraq, what might he do? I mean, clearly there WILL be a draft, it is only a matter of when, right? I just have to wonder if this same group will be of the "Kerry=hitler/stalin/Lenin" ilk or of the "Every man must do what he can in defenece of his country" ilk? Wanna take bets? Or more likely teh "Every man...country, but ow, my flat feet are acting up again, so tell me how it goes, eh boys?" Never mind, bets are off.

The misnaming of fields of study is so common as to lead to what might be
general systems laws. For example, Frank Harary once suggested the law that
any field that had the word "science" in its name was guaranteed thereby
not to be a science. He would cite as examples Military Science, Library
Science, Political Science, Homemaking Science, Social Science, and Computer
Science. Discuss the generality of this law, and possible reasons for its
predictive power.
