Title: Welcome to The New Freedom™, Citizen
Post by: The Good Reverend Roger on November 29, 2010, 06:20:25 PM
Maybe it's just me, but we seem to have a lot of shadowy organizations running around with acronyms for names.  ICS, NSA, CIA, BATF, TSA, DHS, SS, NKVD, KGB...Okay, those last three aren't ours, but I can't really tell the difference anymore.

And, like all populations everywhere, we're going to put up with it, because we've forgotten how to do anything else.  We're like that frog in a pot, right?  Drop the frog in hot water, and it will jump back out, but put it in warm water and heat it, and the little bastard will poach like an egg.

It all crept up on us slowly, and the bastards have made sure to leave us just enough to make us think we have something to lose by pitching a complete wobbler like Patrick Henry would have done. 

Just leave us our shanties with the 30 year mortgage and our ipods and our laptops and our plasma screens, and we'll pretend that everything is okay, and that the jackboots on the stairs are okay, because they came for the neighbor (this time), but he was tied up in that Wikileaks thing, and we have to Think of The Troops (Or The Children or The 911 Victims or whatever other strings we have that are worth pulling.).

We'll go through any indignity if it means making our flight, we'll mumble when they indefinitely detain people without charges (or even keep them there after an acquital), but we won't actually DO anything about it...because in the backs of our minds we know that the jackboots could be for US next time, and when they scoop us up for a nice trip to some Eurasian country for a little chat involving a blow torch and pliers, our families will wind up under a bridge.

So here we are, running in place, while everything goes to hell in a chain-link enclosure.

Welcome to The New Freedom™, Citizens.  It's everything you demanded.

And be damned to you all.

Or Kill Me.

Remember, remember
The Good Rev'rend Roger,
His speeches, bile, and rot.
I know of no reason
Why The Good Rev'rend
Should ever be forget . . .

But if you mention him out loud
Big Brother will make you regret
Ever having made a sound.

Anybody who thinks the government should be held accountable is a dangerous extremist now Roger.  I don't know what they label people who think they have rights, but it might well be anarchist.

Since I am a 'noob' and all to some of your inner workings here in the PD, may I ask, why E.O.T?
I noticed a minor hint at something less then desirable in a passage of your "A Clarification" in Intermittens...
Along with that little ditty Cardinal Pizza Deliverance just posted, makes me a wee bit curious is all.

:?

And hey, the multi-quote thinger is working again!

In this context "EOT" doesn't mean "End of Thread", it's referring to the poster named EOT who Roger's reply was quoting.

Unless I'm confused about why you're confused.

I'm considering running for office Toyama Koichi style. Platform: I WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR FREEDOM.

I toyed with the idea of running on the platform:

"Let's be honest folks, I'm running for office. If I get elected, I ain't doing shit. I'm just going to get paid with your taxes, kick back, occasionally vote for things that are basically in my interest, just like my opponents would. Except I'm giving you the straight dope. Who knows, I may even surprise you and do a good job. Vote for the possibility of pleasant surprises, not the guarantee of disappointment."

Doktor Blight,
-old enough to run for president in 2016 as a write in candidate
(cuz, you know, I can't be arsed to campaign or any of that shit)
