What would you do if *they* really start coming to get us?

Those idiots have no conception of how brutal and ruthless the death squads were in Central and South America.  They had no compunctions about torturing and killing as many innocents as necessary to get to the person they wanted, and snatching or just taking out their target along with all the incidental bystanders along with the person they were after on general principles.  Resistance was symbolic since even if you succeeded in the first brush, the corrupt police would show up and take you into custody 'For investigation' and then secretly arrange to turn you over to the death squads anyway.  If things ever go that far it's basically over for us as a republic.

I hope our death squads are more thorough though

Well first I'm going to buy stock in the company that manufactures Depends. 'Cause these little apes are going to go thru a lot of them!

Isn't this really a case of projection?
Ayers wanted to purge/kill 25 million Americans if he came into power.
Give them Plus size uniforms and the DUmmies would gladly lead squads of their own.

Ya can't say anything as satire anymore.  No sooner does it leave your keyboard, than we have UGP modeling the first of those "plus-size" uniforms.

 No - not the Underwear Gnomes - but say we start seeing RW Paramilitary groups like they have in Columbia, Honduras and Guatemala?

Friends of yours are kidnapped without the police doing anything

People are taken out of their homes and never seen again

I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't want them.  I have no use for cowering, sniveling, helpless parasites.  I have two kids already, and thankfully they're cute and lovable.  Usually.

The Police uses the paramilitaries to do the dirty work they can't

You may say "That could never happen here!"

That's what folks thought in Chile in 1973. Before Pinochet, Chile was a democracy longer than any other Latin American country. Many people said "No puede hacerlo aqui!" and it hacerlo'd there.

Why are they so afraid of Latin American death squads? I mean Communists were far worse than them. They are just a mere pin prick. America could use another Pinochet right now.
