Some worry that if Barack Obama loses and there is suspicion of foul play in the election, violence could ensue in cities with large black populations. Others based the need for enhanced patrols on past riots in urban areas (following professional sports events) and also on Internet rumors.

I am hearing that we have troops being deployed within the US.

I just ran across a link to Suzie Q's blog where she posts several links with regard to a large stash of plastic coffins somewhere in Georgia (in the US, not Europe!). There is a link to the manufacturer of the plastic things (polyguardvaults) which seems to confirm that they are coffins, or perhaps coffin liners. The web is full of conjecture about what FEMA might be stockpiling coffins for.... I am curious to know if you have any thoughts on the matter.

As long as all these contenders for president and congress are being nice and polite to the band of criminals that has taken over our government, they are no better. What is the point of making deals with the devil? It gets us nowhere. There is no being rational with the irrational ways of our current administration. The way to invigorate and ennoble our democracy is to IMPEACH Bush AND Cheney. Without getting real about the depths to which we have fallen, we will not be able to climb back out.

Here's Eliot D Cohen's argument for immediate impeachment instead of waiting for '08 to oust the bastards:

He anticipates that there will be another terrorist attack right on time to allow our current government to proclaim martial law prior to the '08 presidential election. If we let it get that far, what will we do then???

So here's the GOOD NEWS:
95,000 people have already voted in the National Cheney Impeachment Poll!!! That's a lot.
Dennis Kucinich has introduced a bill to impeach and 11 congressmen have signed on!!

I just picked up my Harper's magazine and read this in a letter to the editor from Ian Alterman of New York:

"Although it's true that the president has not tampered with the Third Amendment, he did undermine the closest thing to it: the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which prohibits military personnel or a federalized National Guard from acting in a law-enforcement capactiy within the United States. The president slipped a provision into this year's defense budget that makes it easier for him to override local control of law enforcement and declare martial law. Along with the evisceration of habeas corpus, this may be the single most dangerous attack on civil liberties undertaken by the Bush administration."

What? Shrub is laying the groundwork for controlling by force the populace of the United States. We have got to get rid of these guys before they steal another election and proclaim martial law to keep control.

Aren't YOU alarmed?
