Pick up the latest Time magazine for a real handbook to sheepdom.
I am. I was born for this day, a chance to defend the constitution the way that the founding fathers desired. - I heard this from a friend so its a third party quote.
Get your pills out, remember which one to take Blue or Red,
remember remember the 5th of November.
or pitchforks and torches?
i'll do fine with camping gear and a bicycle, myself.
you are going to look mighty awkward up there in the hills at your campsite when I come charging through with 12 pitchforks.
right up until the moment you hit the duct tape tripwire, and slam into the plastic sheeting that you were looking right through...
Anyone who responds with "wake up, of course it was Bush/Cheney who said it, who else would" is simply not following reasoning and is jumping to conclusions.
The shit had to start circling the drain sooner of later.
Fear mongerers/paranoid twats suggested/assumed there would be martial law, or a huge market collapse if the bill wasn't passed.
Little problem:
The bill wasn't passed(on the day he was talking about)
There was NO martial law, and no huge market collapse.
The fear mongerers/paranoid twats were wrong... AGAIN!!
Notice he never said who was threatening. Call me a sheep, but it could have been his 12 year-old nephew saying that for all we know. Unless there's more to this story than is indicated by this video, there's nothing suggesting that anyone in power to enact martial law has suggested it. Doesn't mean anything to me at this point.
Sheep. (Sorry, couldn't resist)
Honestly, I think you're missing the point. The first question is "Do I trust those people involved," which you asked. You're right that it could have been anyone saying this, but the Bush Administration has a history of privately scaring members of Congress into complying with the Administration. The assertion cannot be verified, and I doubt both parties involved (Brad Sherman and the Administration), so more information is necessary.
The second question is "Which conclusion is better supported by existing evidence?" You may have asked this one and simply not written about it, but when I ask this question I end up believing Brad Sherman. For me the breaking point was the Republican National Convention. Both conventions had a large police presence and made some erroneous arrests (though many more were made at the RNC), but only the RNC carried out pre-emptive raids and targetted journalists for arrest. The raids were a scare tactic: Only seven arrests were made although over one-hundred homes were broken into. The suppression of journalism speaks for itself.
To me, that act goes beyond the distinctions of Republican or Democrat. Those people in power have shown that they are willing to do whatever it takes to remain in power. Since the doctrine of pre-emptive action worked so well overseas, it should work equally well here in the States, using the municipal police as the shock troops instead of the Marines. Such a thing seems like the mad ravings of a lunatic, except that watching how the police and National Guard conducted themselves in St. Paul seemed like watching a test drive of that strategy.
I honestly don't believe that the United States will reach that point. Even for an Administration that has grabbed power again and again without a second thought, the act of declaring martial law to maintain that power is very far fetched. Even in this country, there's a breaking point beyond which its citizens will not tolerate the rule of those in power. However, I don't doubt for a moment that the Administration would try to use the threat of martial law as a scare tactic aimed at another Executive power grab.
