The Next Four Years

What are everybody's thoughts/hopes/fears about the next four years in America? I've been watching the coverage this morning. I'll doubt Bush's speech will be at all interesting, but I may watch anyway. My family is somwhere in Washington (probably as safe 3 miles from the president) protesting. I didn't want to go because, in my mind, Bush earned himself a clean slate in November (I'm also supposed to be at the labs for most of the afternoon). As I said on November 3rd, if he can go four years without invading another country, making another assault on our civil liberties (including appointing any judge that would outlaw abortion), or once again rolling back environmental standards, I'll promise to be gentle on our goofball of a president. I still reserve the right to make fun of any hil-arious Bushisms that leave his mouth.

My God, have you seen the security they are installing in D.C.? It's like they are preparing for a land invasion. 13,000 personel, 10 ft high barriers topped with razor wire, snipers on every rooftop, helicopters a-circling. 10 times too much maple syrup IMHO.

It's hard for be critical of that stuff. But yeah, the fact that Bush is making this address from behind bullet proof glass is a bad sign. It's like one step from the pope-mobile.

it's not even close to 90%. I'd bet that over 50% of the world doesn't even know who Bush is let alone hate him.

Looked like soviet russia or fascist germany. ALL HAIL KING BUSH! haha
The next four years will bring a couple more invasions, maybe another staged terrorist attack to get public support. He will try and push the PAN-AMERICAN union.
There will be forced physcological testing of all children (if its a success adults will be next). National ID card is in the works. I bet we'll hear more about bio-metrics (chips under the skin). Some states will start taxing cars by the mile (tracked by GPS), california and new york have already hinted towards it.

Whatever happens, happens. It's hard for me to care what Bush does in the next 4 years when there's nothing I can do about it.

Im not making it up, it has been all over the news the last couple days. Syria and Iran are next on the list of countries to invade.
Who knows about a terrorist attack, i'd imagine its one of those last resort things. But I wouldn't be surprised, especailly if people get out and protest a lot. Most high level government officials have said there will be Marshall law if there is another attack.
National ID card passed in congress in December. Forced physcological testing passed in december. Patriot Act 2 passed in december. Every car made in the last 10 years has a plugin for the GPS tracking.
I didn't make these things up.

http://www.guerrillanews.com/headlines/headline.php?id=849 Article about U.S getting ready to invade Iran
There will be another invasion in these four years, possibly more then one. Bush just said in his address that he wants to spread 'freedom' (capitalism) to the rest of the world. You have to be willingly blind not to see that there is going to be another war, possibly more.

More than one war. PNAC PNAC PNAC PNAC. The Middle East war will be going full force when Dumbya pushes for military action in Korea. This is going to be a scary four years. One thing is for sure though. If the goverment tries to take my freedoms away by force, I won't go down without killing a few gestapo bastards.

I hope Bush isn't as dumb as I think he is...
I'm hoping for a much more positive second mandate.

are you not reading what I write? I'm not even mentioning the invasion, rather your wacky 911 conspiracy theory and your claim that cars 10 years old are all equipt with GPS tracking. I never even mentioned the invasions. edit: unless ofcourse you haven't mastered the reply button, in that case i would be mistaken.

Cars can be outfitted with the GPS tracker. All cars (in the past 5-7 years) have computers that track their highest speed, avg speed, miles travelled, etc. Some insurance companies will give you a reduced rate if you allow them to access the information stored on yours.
