Are you afraid of your own damn government? I'm not.

they should be afraid of me, and you, and the awakening populace.

fuck living in fear of bush and his pals and what they might to next to america, fuck it, fuck it fuck it, i am not afraid of these cheap ass mother fuckers, not one bit.

fuck you dick and george, we will not cower in fear to your temporarily powerful asses, fuck you and all your little pals, soon YOU will learn fear, and you will live in it forever, and you can take that to the bank.

You said it. Fuck fear. It's a killer.

"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." ...Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Amazing how this Guardian article from 2002 predicted the economic woes we're now facing today. And, they quoted FDR against Bush. :)

I'll be ready to dole out some "justice" on some freeper haeds when the day comes.

Not anymore. The more I see in the political news, the more I realize their sphincters are puckering all the time.

I think they're on the run....

to feel anything but rage.:mad: getting madder'n a wet setting hen I am.

a movie I am anxious to see

I hope they do the source material justice...

and not just of the GOP and shrub. Politics and politicians are beginning to make me sick.

I would like our Representatives and Senators to look out for US, you know, WE THE PEOPLE, not the corporations, the lobbyists, and other money folks, we the citizens and taxpayers that elect them and pay them and naively expect them to do the right thing more often than not.

Governments should be afraid of their people.

The fear is the further disintegration of our society - and it's a well-grounded fear. We're so divided and fragmented that we're habituated into thinking that a neighbor's problems are our opportunity to profit. I have very little doubt that my hide will be hung out to dry alone. This is based on my personal experience of a lifetime. When I returned from Viet Nam, nobody met me at the airport and there were no banners saying "Welcome Home!" Ever. When I lost a job because I blew the whistle on stock fraud, I got a small 'settlement' but no justice. When I lost another job because I blew the whistle on false financial reporting in a federal budget process, I got nothing (crooked judge made a summary judgment plainly against the letter of the law and procedure) and even co-workers, fearing for their jobs, kept their mouths shut. I have never seen anyone "rally around the flag of right vs. wrong." What I've seen is "I'm glad that's not me."

We are not really a community. We haven't taken to the streets with pitchforks and torches. We didn't call a General Strike on December 12, 2000 - or since then as atrocity has been piled on top of atrocity. Poland was a more closely knit society with "Solidarity" than the US can expect to be. That is why we're going to see things get a LOT worse before they get better. We create our own reality and get the government we deserve.

We've learned that when the bear come, it's not about being the fastest runner. It's about NOT being the slowest runner. The slower runners have learned how to trip others and bash kneecaps.

And they are completely divorced from shared reality.

Am I helpless? No. Are they scary @ssholes? Yes.

I think it's only natural for anyone who's paying attention not to be a bit scared.

to know about this misAdministration's competence and sense of civic duty.

And this is where the distinction should be made clear. Freepers fear the government, and see it as intrusive and oppressive. Non-Freepers see government as "the people," and see it as a catalyst for solving societal problems and advancing change.

The problem lies when everyone views the government as "the enemy." Fear, mistrust, and suspicion do not make for a strong, solid society. The government is not the enemy to fear: it's the thugs and cutthroats who use it as a means to their own selfish ends.

isn't, and won't ever be our government.

"you are not on Bush's side"..... NO - I NEED TO KNOW THAT BUSH IS ON MY SIDE!

Hell yeah, I'm affraid of them. Since the first day of the war on drugs, I have been terrified.

So I stop doing drugs, and what do you know: now you don't even need to be into drugs to be on their list. Great!


However, the bottom line it, Dems and Repubs have a common interest in this. And the reality is that we actually need not fear them.

So I can modify my fear with that thought.

I'm with you, mopaul. One of the greatest Democrats ever said we have nothing to fear but fear itself. It's the only thing Bushco has left. We should not be afraid; we should be ANGRY and ready to fight.

They can do whatever they damn well please to me, because when it comes time to write the history of this administration we will be the people who will be seen as true patriots.

Those who control "progress", and write the history that the masses know, always win.

These guys are the closest thing to Evil personafied that we will ever see.

For the most part, I haven't been able to keep my mouth shut. I'm not going to pretend though that I am not afraid.

I've actually seen one thing that I will never talk about out of fear.

I've saw another thing right in my neighborhood in the freaky scary weeks right after 911 that when I told people about it they laughed and just said you're paranoid.

A woman with an insider view told me something about a law enforcement event just prior to 911 that scared the shit out of me and I won't discuss. Hopefully, it was just a rumor or just a coincidence but everyone who heard it suspected bad faith and prior knowledge.

I believe that shortly after I contacted Sen. Wellstone's office by phone and requested he put his position on the upcoming proposed war with Iraq in writing, because his position was being misrepresented by someone here on DU, my office/ especially the computer was the victim of a sneak and peak by pros just after he sent me an email outlining his policy position.

In November 2004 election day, when I saw F16 fighter jets flathatting an election polling place with overly long lines in a highly democratic area with simultaneous bomb scares in the affected public buildings, I knew it was staged interference with the electoral process.

Funny, but I'm not. I think it's because I know that this side is the right side. Not that I want to be taken away if it does come to things like that, but I am not afraid because my conscience is clear.

But I will not Cower!

Fear is the mind killer...

-Hoot

No.
I am mad, angry, frustrated, sad, and just shocked,that all this crap is happening to our country.

Everyday I wonder, how long can this go on.
Is this the day when *bush and his cronies will finally have to take responsibility, and are held accountable for their lies.
Is this the day when these bullies can no longer bully us.

I want my country back.
I want my freedom back.
I want honest elections.
I want checks and balances in this country.
And, I want the people that I elect, to fight for me.

Of the Limbaugh/O'Lielly/Coulter fans who decide that calling for "traitors" to be shot is a really good idea, and start getting out their guns.

you said it, mopaul, "they should be afraid of me, and you, and the awakening populace"

I think they ARE afraid their corrupt insidious walls of deception are falling down.

They have no hope for a better future to offer America, so they offer fear.

Straight from the David Horriblewitz playbook "The Art of Political War."

I am living in this country but the government doesn't belong to me or anybody but the people who were able to tilt the election to bring it about. It's a government that belongs to Diebold and its clones.

republicans are the afraid crowd.

HELL NO I don't fear Bush NOR his cronies in the gvt..

...My tears at take off were
my first steps in healing from
the fear I felt after Sept 11th .

I will not live in Fear . Not of
Terrorists not of my Government or
any other "THEM" that will be conjored up
to control me .

We need to do more though. Bush/PNAC has three more years to fuck things up beyond Constitutional recognition.

If anyone has an investigative journalist bug -- fucking go with it! All newbies invited here as well!

Let's all eliminate any possible wiggle room for our fear mongering leaders.

Deal?
