2. Up in flames?
Beyond the obvious civil rights implications there is also the potential for blackmail. Can't you just see a "Barnie Fife" kind of firefighter using this power to force his will on others?

5. That could lead to people not calling fire departments when an emergency
arises.

Or, if law enforcement or government wants to bust someone they can't get evidence on, they just start a fire and have the FD "find" evidence to procure an arrest.

6. I'd love the chance
to confront those who were up in arms about comparisons of the Boosh administration to nazis.

NOW DO YOU BELIEVE IT, ASSHOLES?????

9. I would rather clasify them as Stalinists....
Stalinism, according to proponents of the term, is the political regime named after Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union from 1924-1953. Proponents of the term argue that it includes an extensive use of propaganda to establish a personality cult around an absolute dictator, as well as extensive use of the secret police to maintain social submission and silence political dissent.

What do ya think?

7. My ASS - it can't happen here!
It's happening.

Never before have the worst people been put in the worst positions at the worst time.

With the spat of legislation that has come forth and presidential directives I'm looking for something really terrible to come down in the months before the election that's going to shake us once more to the core. If I were to use the Color Coded Terrorist Chart (time to dust that off - getting closer to the election and all - I'm sure with the new Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act will come a new Homegrown Chart - whoopie) that chart would be Blood-Red just about now.

Be afraid - be very afraid - but NOT of the foreign terrorists - be afraid of this government!

8. If you love -- RILLY RILLY LUUUUV America, you have nothing to worry about!
Firefighter ratfinks: seems like a sound plan.

Right wing guys who spend their professional lives shooting water through hoses are always the best judge of character.
