… the modern-era style of Justice that is.
Let us not forget that a Dictatorship’s Justice works to tip the scales in favor of those who already support it, those who can be “bought” to support it, and those with no other choice but to support it… and the hope and change it promises to bring to its citizens.
There is no shortage of countries, past or present, that can be studied in order to better understand the lengths to which Dictatorships will go, or the limitless reach of the enforcement arm of their regimes being used in order to achieve their objectives; overthrow the will of the people, marginalize any organized dissidence, crack down on (and orchestrate witch hunts against) anyone that successfully challenges and undermines the Central authority, or worse – file suit against whole “regions” and – take them to Courts they can manipulate to further their agenda.
Once the hold on (and reach of) power is established, and the dissidents silenced – by personal ruin or jail – the Dictatorship uses its Justice to shield perpetrators of voter intimidation at the polling places…and then…it manipulates the ballots themselves to ensure it never loses another election.
To further ensure control of the proletariat, the propaganda wing is charged with the task of controlling the narrative by mocking, marginalizing, and impugning dissident voices, and giving full sunshine and audience to all claims of impropriety on the part of the opposition and all calls for investigation into any who would dare speak out against the Central Authority and the whims of the Dictator himself.
Such may not be the state of affairs in America today, but just how impossible is it, really, for that to change?

Unfortunately, Dave, it’s not impossible at all. With Nasty Nancy’s call to investigate the “funding” behind those who oppose the mosque in NYC, their desire to shut down ANY opposition is more than apparent.
And if you are concerned that this puts you in tinfoil hat territory, well, just plan on sharing your roll of Reynolds Wrap with a whole lot more folks. You are mainstream with this piece.
I really don’t think it IS impossible janis…I know that the more we suggest as much, the more we are mocked and vilified for it…which I guess is one of the symptoms, no?
That is the path this administration is taking us down. Unpopular legislation, cap and trade for example, cannot pass the legislative branches so it is implemented by increased regulation. The same with immigration reform. Nancy Pelosi called for witch hunts against the GZ Mosque opponents today. They are in a liberal power grab, we either begin to stop it in November or it keeps getting worse.
if we don’t stop it in November, we’ll have no one else to blame nessa…and I agree-and…it’s really starting to piss me off.
