Step outta line, man come an'...

You gotta stop, children
what's that sound
Everybody look
what's goin' down

Ya know, Amos, this doesn't surprise me too much... Looks as if the US is indeed on the slippery slope toward some real good ol' fashioned facism... We are seeing the beginnings with the very intolerant and racist/sexist Tea Party that uses the 2nd Ammendment as thier Bible, talks about restoring the country's consititutional rights, yet cannot tell ya' exactly what right has been taken from them just before tellin' ya' that they really don't believe in the 14th Ammendment... Sheet fire, it's been around for one heck of a long time... Longer than any of them or their daddies, fir that amtter... So here we have a segment of folks who think that if they don't like a certain law then, Well, screw it... We'll do it our way...

Problem is is that is how somewhat stable societies go from stable to, ahhhhhh, killing each other to try to drive home their point... I mean, this really started in the 60s and we have been at war since... The right killed off any chance of a truly modern nation with killing off the progressive leaders...

So, yeah, that's what it comes down to when a culture of suspicion and hate and fear and more fear and more fear settle in... Purdy messed up but guess what... Fear drives people and fear is being peddled 24/7 by those who are rich and have never had it so good...

And so unless that culture breaks, we will see more and more of scared people turning to guys like the guards in the story... If anyone ever thinks fir one minute that Osama bin Laden didn't win, think again...

Slippery slope??? Yeah and Boss Hog is gettin' ready to put another layer of ice on it with the hundreds of millions he has secretly funneled to the most intolerant to get them into power so he can buy some more ice fir that slope...
