Our theocracy nightmare: President Palin’s martial law (Here's their real fear - she's effective)
Salon ^ | June 29, 2013 | Frederic C. Rich

What if McCain/Palin won, then McCain died -- and a terror attack followed. Apocalyptic fiction from a nightmare

It is obvious in retrospect that only an external attack like that on 7/22 could have saved the Palin presidency. Without it, would any of what followed have happened? I doubt it. The Democrats would have recaptured both the White House and Senate that fall. The culture wars would have simmered on, but the evangelical movement’s momentum on the path toward political power would have been lost. I would be installed in my corner office downtown, practicing law. I would probably have children with Emilie. I might be having dinner with Sanjay tonight instead of sitting here with people I really don’t know, trying to remember and record all that happened since then.

But 7/22 did happen. It was truly horrible, and the American people were understandably scared and angry. 7/22 opened a door, and Sarah Palin walked through it.

On July 24, 2012, President Palin, for only the second time in the history of the republic, declared martial law over the entire country. Instead of appearing alone in a televised address from the formality of the Oval Office, she addressed the nation from the situation room in the basement of the White House flanked by all the Joint Chiefs of staff, with Vice President Sam Brownback and top consultant Steve Jordan the only civilians present. Her speech was direct and forceful. After 9/11, she said, our enemies had counted on our weaknesses. They knew of our preoccupation with rights, laws, and political correctness of every sort.....

I must've been sleeping and missed all that tyranny.

I was having a nightmare where a Marxist president used executive orders to bypass the legislative branch, denounced the rulings of the Supreme Court when he violated the Constitution, used the IRS the engage in a partisan witchhunt of the Tea Party during the 2010-2012 election season, ran communication profiles on average citizens (not those suspected of being in communications with known members of Al Qaeda as was the policy under GW Bush)...

The best defense of this administration seems to be go on the attack against the pair that didn't win in 2008.

I wish I understood their ridiculous fear of “fundies” and “theocracy”.

Same technique used by the Party in “1984” to drum up the “two minutes hate” of the Emmanuel Goldstein character. The “fundies” are the Alinskyite strawmen.

These fu**ers have been running their projections on the wall showing us where they’re heading since 1930.

Time to cut them off at the pass.

Well, she wouldn't have called it "work place violence", that's for sure.......

I forget, is it Slate or Salon which publishes from an insane asylum?

Sadly, but this is also where LIVs get their information and world view. A dangerous and destructive detachment from reality.
