If you grasp the Republicon worldview and take 'em at their word then it follows that we would all be safest in prisons with neocon jailers.
But of course, from what I hear anecdotally, prison is not a healthy environment. I hear that the food isn't good, the companions are prone to violence, and the colors are drab.
When I think of disheartened people shuffling to and fro, sufficiently wiretapped, video taped, inspected, dejected, and barren of delights, what comes to mind is the old haunting humbug of Communist rule.
Yes friends and neighbors, Republicons wish to rule us like Communist dictators to protect us from...
But, in order to do that they need to spy on us and get us to snitch on each other and turn our hopes to fears. The spying appears to be well under way and I'm sure operation TIPS will be renewed in another form soon.
The question now is will Americans become trembling masses tied together with one dark cord of delusion and bound together in a prison without bars?
Will we acquiesce power of the people by allowing Alito's nomination to proceed?
Will we inflame our paranoia at every pronouncement from Osama and clamber for restrictions on our freedom and diminishment of our joys?
Will we stifle our creativity with alarms and searches and barbed wire and the noise noise noise of Fantastic fandooblers and gigantic gobjumblers?
Are we madder than the cows?
Are we sicker than the birds?
Are we more stranded than the whales?
What are we giving up?
Does the sun ever shine in a neocon world?
