Former Supreme Court Justice David Souter told University of New Hampshire School of Law that the “pervasive civic ignorance” in the U.S. could bring dictatorship:
I don’t worry about our losing a republican government in the United States because I’m afraid of a foreign invasion. I don’t worry about it because of a coup by the military, as has happened in some other places. What I worry about is that when problems are not addressed people will not know who is responsible, and when the problems get bad enough — as they might do for example with another serious terrorist attack, as they might do with another financial meltdown — some one person will come forward and say: ‘Give me total power and I will solve this problem.’
That is how the Roman republic fel. Augustus became emperor not because he arrested the Roman senate. He became emperor because he promised that he would solve problems that were not being solved.

True words never spoken!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are already a dictatorship nation.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for a change in November , but it seems obvious that this country will elect obama again. We have become a nation of followers , we don't know the difference between right and wrong.
Civil war is almost here and obama is expecting it. The purchase of large amounts of ammo within the government is a sure sign.
I'm now looking forward to the battle , we will take our country back . Thank God for my training,
If you think this comment is crazy , then you are among the followers who will worship this Satanic dictator.
Last but not least , Muslims are his army and the Kuran is his bible. Prepare yourselves.
