What deal? Supreme Court for Hillary?
No one knows for sure but there has to have been a deal made, but we can also infer that Hillery has the Whitey Tape on Michelle Obama ( collateral for promises kept).
666!
“Say NO to BO 08”
I always wondered how it could have happened in all of those other places without significant resistance to its rise, and I suppose it happened the same way it's happening here: real or imagined greivances were stoked, the sensationalist press and radio (the earlier fascists were pre-TV) magnified the voice of the Great Leader, and the populist slant of the whole thing made the society's more reflective or intelligent people reluctant to express themselves for fear of being perceived as slighting the common man. And then suddenly it was too late.
Personally, I hope nothing happens in Denver because I have a family member on the force there, but I think that even if the anarchists and loonies do get out of control, somehow that's not going to make the scales drop from the eyes of the American public. For one thing, the police will be attacked in the press for anything they do to reign in Osama's shock troops. You wouldn't believe the attitudes of the good people of Denver when it comes to the police, whom they expect to be on hand to protect them from thugs, find their lost car keys, retrieve their stolen property instantly,etc. - but whom they have no shame about calling "pigs" in the media or insulting on the street. Denver is a typical Western city with a large number of residents who have moved there from California, not to mention its own outpost of crazies in Boulder.
Of course, all of this is promoted by the press or at any rate, the media. I wonder if a dictator in the modern style, that is, including in this time as far back as Hitler, would even have a chance without the media.
