Damn relics of the past. Don't the understand the need to rush towards a benevolent totalitarian one party state?

And before the communists it was the fascists.

And before the communist it was the labor unions. ahhh the good ole days.

I notice that the term "un-American" and "socialist" has been thrown around these days...

I know what both of you are talking about, but I'm talking about the "threats" that the government (specifically, the U.S.; I'm not too familiar with other countries, if they've had anything on the level the U.S. had) point to in order to justify "tightening the yoke."

EDIT: Btw, shouldn't that be capitalist with a capital "K?"

What game is that? I need to get it! :tongue:

What game is that? I need to get it! :tongue:

Twilight Struggle, a two-player game of the Cold War, 1946-1989. One player is Russia and one is the U.S. The game is rated number four out of thousands on BoardGameGeek. It is relatively easy to learn, and extremely enjoyable. I highly recommend it.

I think that Islamic terrorists will hold us for while. Then we can have a nice (un)civil war between Evangelical Christian Fundamentalists and everyone else. That should be good for a few years of misery.

Ultraconservatives.

(Irony, FTW)

Bankers

Sweden, we have some plans to once more be a power to recognize.

I can not give any details, but by stocks in "Volvo" and we may be nicer to you...

Gm just bought a controlling share with their government bailout money.

I hope it's hippies, they've had it coming for a long time.

Hopefully fat people and/or vegetarians.

Pffft That's so Cold War. Try the War on Terror! (http://www.waronterrortheboardgame.com/thegame/)

Hopefully fat people and/or vegetarians.

Wait, there are other types of people than fat ones and vegetarians?

Enemies of the State? Well, according to that Missouri report, it appears Ron Paul supporters are. Interestingly enough, RP's friend Rothbard wrote a book called "Enemy of the State."

Hopefully anorexics and/or meat eaters.

Environmentalists.

We're bad for the economy.

That's what I've thought too, something along the lines of the "Unfaithful," or the "Heretics," maybe even the "Infidels."

Sounds good to me.

Commies.

I'm thinking some kind of class warfare.

Whoever is deemed the biggest threat to democracy.

Me!

Sure, Tolstoy.

You and your Devilish kind threaten to ruin any trace of fun stuffy society. If you succeed, there would be no satire.

OOOOH! I know... its going to be "liberals" and we use that term really loosely in the US, and and conservatives.

Well the devisive, competitive, and uncooperative political policies have been doing a stellar job of making both them the enemy of every common citizen in the country.

Its nice to know you're not the only one who thinks like that aint it?

Yes. I agree with the Democrats 50% of the time, with the the Republicans 20%, and 30% of the time I agree with neither party--and I wish both could learn to live in peace.

I think that if the U.S government keeps going the way it is, soon the enemies will be the free thinkers who support the Constitution and believe in democracy.

robots, next.

Commies and terrorists like pirates and bank robbers are always threats. Someone being a threat is not contingent upon time it is dependent on natural law.

Ummm. republicans and Democrats have lived together in peace since 1865 when the Republicans won the Civil War and pacified the Democrats.

You are thinking of the last definition, while I am referring to the first three: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/peace

Hurray for pacifying Democrats!

It'll be "terrorist" for a long time. It's too easy to label anyone opposed to the system a "terrorist".
