    I forgot that you live in alternative reality. In a time that even U.S. government doesn't deny that their secret prisons is a disgrace and American military men appointed as lawyers for some of the prisoners complain about the situation, you and your fellow "patriots" think prisoners having a hell of a good time being tortured. :rolleyes:

    Poor gworld. Still grasping at straws aren't you? I think its stunning how you litany of "fascism" has withered into single line responses generally consisting of "you're a fascist" without anything else. *yawns* This is a pretty crappy fascist system that is being setup here, seeing as how you cannot even adequately get into any details. Stunning. Petty calls of fascism did sum up this thread didnt it?

    Just another day, another pointless discussion with gworld. Maybe when you help the UN resolve what a terrorist is (if you can figure that out for yourself one day), you'll be able to add to this discussion.

    Isn't that strange how the concept is so similar to today's political and cultural environment in USA? :rolleyes:

    What are you talking about, I am 'moved out' and I do have a 'real job'. The only right I don't have is the right to own a gun(s). But it's just a 'right', doesn't mean I can't do it anyway :D

    Besides, that law has been around before Bush.

    It goes even deeper than that guerilla, it goes as far as being run by two families, the Bush and Clinton families, obviously controlled by far more intelligent people than them. Although I do give pappy H.W credit because that scumbag was nowhere near as dumb as his son. No siree!

    That is why I laugh my ass off at some of the idiots here like d16man, GTech and lorien amongst many other fools when they swear allegiance to the Republican party. They don't even stop and think that it has been a Bush or a Clinton since 1981, they still think that they are in a democratic country, which is nothing short of an absolute joke.

    I don't fully agree with Ron Paul but if I were an American I would certainly be listening to what he is saying, even though the poor guy is ridiculed by the mainstream media because he simply cannot be allowed to get into power, and he will not, never in a day. That's guaranteed.

    Seems that most of the idiots prefer pricks like Giuliani who is an awful scumbag, or Romney who is probably more better looking than most of the G.O.P candidates but that's about it, or Insane McCain who is....insane!

    As I have said before many times the future is not looking good for the USA any time soon. :(

    I have no doubt about that, i know it impacts certain kinds, although using "expansionist policies" is not factually correct.

    Nope. I don't see it. Care to explain further? Your petty claims of fascism and what you highlighted doesn't even make sense in any situation here. Fascism is just a canard brought out by people who refuse to have an intelligent discussion about the issues.

    What's even more humorous is that you've refused to highlight sections of the definition in which (apparently) you even disagree that your definition of "fascism" doesn't apply, so you aren't even overly convinced of the argument, are you?

    Why don't you drop the dictionary for a second. I remember from our terrorism discussion you were incapable of discussing the issue beyond 10 or 12 words. Maybe that's your real problem here - lack of depth. Seems to explain a lot.

    I think you should really work on your boring adjectives. Fascist is so 2003. How about nativist? How about communist (guerilla uses this one on me)? Or maybe I'm a feudalist? Something different. Come on gworld; don't use petty claims invented by someone else to try and make a weak argument. Surely you can come up with something on your own. Entertain me.

    if guantanamo bay (sorry hope i got the spelling right) had happened in soviet russia or nazi germany we would be completely outraged by such flagrant abuse of human rights. this is not right, not even after the twin towers, can nobody see that?

    As usual the little ex-corporal who dreams of being USA fuhrer has nothing to say about the subject. Your stupidity is really giving the other little corporal a bad name since at least he was not afraid to fight for what he believed in. :D

    Your question might be too direct, clear, and honest for some of the people here to want to answer.

    Yes, some real patriotic Americans can see that.

    • If we destroy all our real freedoms, what is left for the enemy to need to do??

    Actually when you look further back, they didn't settle situations through a courthouse, they settled it with pistols in the middle of town. And even further back, they killed and tortured Indians for really no other reason than some land. I consider our country to be pull of a bunch of panzy's compared to 70 years ago or further back.
