2008-07-06-17:37 - Shoot them all in the head
One thing the conservatives have done very well is move the boundries of debate. It use to be if you advocated mass executions without trial you'd be labeled as a fascist, stalinist, or other undesirable authoritarian. Now however, conservative commentators can go on TV and say:
Beck: This court has done some frightening. frightening things….If I’m president of the US, I would go on National television and say—’ladies and gentlemen, the Supreme Court said that we don’t have Gitmo so that is over. We’re going to release all of them, but I want you to know from here on out our policy is to not have prisoners. We’re going to shoot them all in the head.’

If we think they are against us, we’re going to shoot them and kill them—period because that’s the only thing we’ve got going for us—cause we can put them away and get information. If we can’t put them away and they’re going to use our court system—kill them.
This is considered a reasonable position on how the justice system in America should operate. Don't expect Glenn Beck to be fired or shunned from polite society. Bringing despotism to America is just the kind of issues reasonable people can disagree on now.

>>let me tell you this about that!
