Big government = solution to every problem

[kres24GT]

Anyone doubt this? If so, you are in the minority. Government has brainwashed, mostly through government education, but also through the joys of politics, that we can only solve our problems by surrendering our freedom over to government.

Is it finally time to abandon all freedom and go ahead an install a totalitarian government? Why delay this inevitable process any longer?

I will place bets with anyone that you will see a terrorist attack in the next year on US soil to trigger the new Homeland Security Directive signed a few days ago - http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070509-12.html
to instill big government to the highest degree :) Heck - it even allows the president to stay in office without declaring martial law

Could be. Eventually we will have a dictator, I don't think it will be bush though. It's what the people want, and since we ignore the Constitution now, there should be little problems with this happening.

At this point maybe Americans deserve a dictator.

Seriously, freedom needs to be earned and if Americans are too stupid not to see the writing on the wall maybe that's exactly what they deserve. You see voter turnout at barely 50% if you're lucky. The people that do vote don't know who they're voting for or the issues. If you asked the average American some basic questions about the world, geography, history, etc, they wouldn't know it.

We repeatedly re-elect the same jackasses election after election regardless of how effective they've been at their job. Maybe, just maybe, Americans deserve what they get for being such complete morons. I'd hope we'd at least get a good dictator that actually had some smarts, but if Bush ends up dictator, well fuck, that probably shows just how pathetic we've become.

I agree, give the people what they want, totalitarian government. Show them what their ignorance both causes and demands.
