Martial law? In the US?
I'd like to say this is unbelievable, unfortunately it's all too believable. We also have to worry about signing statements and executive orders that circumvent the legislative branch when dems take over.
I hate how cynical I have become of this administration's motives. There is not one ethical, reasonable, idealistic person in the bunch.
So, we get a convenient terrorist attack, we freeze all internet and media activity, shut down the government for 'safety' and forgo elections? transfer of power to Democrats? and Bush declares himself 'temporary' dictator.
Six years ago this would be laughable. Now it's bizarre and silly....and just that tiny bit conceivable.
