Not really. This board is almost excluisively in the 25% camp that will need to be rounded up for having wrong thoughts. I don't understand why members feel the need to lecture other members of this board as though they were fox news watchers.
Yeah well after trying to tolerate all the vomited spasms of rhetoric on this thread over the past weekend it really felt like I was listening to el Rushbo or Fox. You don't recall the comments questioning board members patriotism and the flag? So extremely nauseating.
So yeah, my comment last night wasn't really an argument, it was a stupid rant, thus I ended referencing how it fit so nicely with all the other rants. Call it a straw man, whatever works, I don't mind. There is so much hair splitting on this thread now about what is and isn't fascism, what is and isn't martial law. Sheesh, a lot of conspiratorial masturbation!
All I know is that it sure as hell is not generally needed to have armored personnel carriers and paramilitary forcing people out of there homes block by block. I really don't care where you live. That shit just isn't good, sure as hell isn't following precedent. It was one guy they were after, it was an overwhelming overblown show of force. But boy oh boy did a lot of people get sucked into it.
The media salivated and went berserk.
Bostonians were put into a frenzy of fear, and law enforcement and the media fostered that. But now we have the FBI looking suspect themselves, just more reason not to like any of it. It all stinks, the frenzied spasms puked out onto this board were awful and splitting hairs over fascism only seems like a distraction. But maybe that's just me.
Gotta go book my flight to Disney and go shopping after I pick up Wired and jack off to the latest techno war porn.
RI is still a beloved treasure trove, love this board, warts and all. You ladies/gents are a terrific bunch when not in frenzy mode.
