I am sure. The police state has advanced to far already. Time to start beating it back.

Fuck yes. I am surprised this day has come to pass. When Bush said "if you aint fer us yer agin us" was the darkest day in this country's recent history.

Odd... I would think the darkest day would have been 9/11 or one of the days large numbers of soldiers were killed... or maybe even the economic meltdown... who knew the darkest day would be when Bush said that.

There are several I would rank right up there, but some of them are so horrendous, i'd not dare qualify a single one of them as the darkest day in america.

I've been many things in my life but seldom fearful. I experienced true fear that day. That is the day we slipped into true facism in this country.

lol... I hope you never have to truly experience fascism.

Everything has a beginning. The encroachment of fascism on a "free" society is secret, silent and slow, but insidious, akin to the perfect analogy of such, setting a pot of frogs to boil.

The day that fearless leader can stand before the country and warn his countrymen not to speak against his next move or be considered a traitor or a terrorist, with no recrimination save one, and even that late, is the day the free speech ended.
Such a day did pass, and it was the darkest day I personaly know of.
All of you are free to choose your own darkest days, that was mine.
