Utopia Talk / Politics / Obama-Mussolini Police States: You Judge

Member | Mon Sep 28 10:45:54 Mussolini: At various times after 1922, Mussolini personally took over the ministries of the interior, foreign affairs, colonies, corporations, defense, and public works. Sometimes he held as many as seven departments simultaneously, as well as the premiership. He was also head of the all-powerful Fascist Party and the armed local fascist militia, the MVSN or "Blackshirts," who terrorised incipient resistances in the cities and provinces. He would later form the OVRA, an institutionalised secret police that carried official state support. In this way he succeeded in keeping power in his own hands and preventing the emergence of any rival. Obama: The Rise of the Obama Police State â??An Early Demonstration? â??We donâ??t want interacting,â?? said the police officer, to the shock of the conservative activist holding the camera. She was in Baton Rouge, LA, filming a demonstration by ACORN in favor of Barack Obamaâ??s proposed government-run health care. And what she had just witnessed, as the officer led the offending man away who had dared speak to the activist, was nothing short of the disruption of free speech, of the press, and of the right to assembleâ??by the police. As reported by the Examiner, â??Things took a surprising and dangerous turn when a police officer, clearly sympathetic to the ACORN rally, attempts to shut down the opposition. At one point, during a very civil discussion between an opponent and a supporter of the presidentâ??s plan, the police officer returned and actually told the individuals opposing the presidentâ??s plan they were not allowed to speak. The man in blue shirt, a supporter of the presidentâ??s plan, later returns and attempts to defend the free speech rights of the counter protesters.â?? For all intents and purposes, she was reporting on the demonstration. And yet, every time she attempted to converse with opponents of ObamaCare, the police intervened. Not exactly what one would call the protection of unalienable rights. It looks more like a police stateâ??in its infancy. On Wikipedia, a police state is described, â??The inhabitants of a police state experience restrictions on their mobility, and on their freedom to express or communicate political or other views, which are subject to police monitoring or enforcement.â?? Exactly what was seen in Baton Rouge. In this case, nobody was arrested. But it is troubling, to say the least, that the police were apparently ordered to disrupt any interaction between supporters and opponents of ObamaCare, even ones that were perfectly willing to debate. â??We disagree. We can have a civil conversation and talk while we walk. We disagree. Itâ??s fine,â?? said one ObamaCare supporter, who too was disgusted by the police action. Really, the ones who had obviously expressed a desire to avoid even civil discourse of their views were the ACORN demonstrators. Of course, there is no such thing as freedom from speech, or debate. But if one does not like what is being said, they can simply move to the other side of the street. But since they were protesting, wasnâ??t the point to defend their views? When they put themselves out there, as members of a self-described public interest organization, they actually are public figuresâ??a part of the national political debate. That makes the views expressed by the organization subject to public scrutiny by press or citizen journalists alike. Instead, in Omerica, apparently there is the stunning emergence of a political elite. They are beyond reproach and criticism. And the police will see to that, as can be seen in this appalling display. |

Member | Mon Sep 28 12:36:09 So that you admit your bias until it's posted by someone that you don't support? Interesting.... |

Member | Mon Sep 28 12:39:46 It doesn't really matter who posted it if it is true. Where is your link, or do you have one? |

Member | Mon Sep 28 12:41:56 I have two, one from wikipedia and this one. http://dis...-obama-police-state-early.html Not hard to find. Too bad your bias is quite so apparent. |

Member | Mon Sep 28 13:47:21 The original source is an extreme Right Wing publication. I have little doubt this incident happened as reported, but I do not think it was done on the direct orders of Obama. I do think though that if left unchecked this is the type of society that Obama is taking us towards. It is the mindset of this cop that has to be changed. He needs to be taught The Bill of Rights and how to uphold them. |

Member | Mon Sep 28 14:15:24 Btw, looking at the idiotic link, there are other two sources, one being the examiner, is the examiner an extreme rightwing publication? |
