Folks, this is scary stuff. These radical policy wonks and ivy league do-gooders are 10% or less of the populace; yet, they mouth these memes "for the good of the children, for our safety--all these things they say are for our own good, and enough brain dead people take them to heart that they remain in power. --and that is what it is all about--THEIR power. They see all other citizens as challenges to their power.
If we do not wake up enough people and vote them out, we are GONE!

“If we do not wake up enough people and vote them out, we are GONE!”
It certainly is very scary stuff, and history is in no way whatsoever reassuring about the odds of this even being slowed down notably from this point (reading the lives of sulla and marius by Plutarch is a great way to depress yourself on what may be coming, not in their specific conflict but the pogroms and wholesale murder/theft by the gang in power once they eliminate all rivals).
I think the most likely outcome is the US in 10 years will be a police state to such a degree that posters here would have been laughed or banned off the site 10 years ago for saying so. I would expect DHS is making lists in anticipation of eventually either really provoking conservative action or just providing an incident big enough to justify large-scale detentions etc. We as a country have gone from the slippery slope to the actual fall off the cliff.
If there is anyone on this thread that missed the point, the proposal was waiting for something like the oslo attack to be announced, but the primary target is NOT islamic terror, but non-violent political philosophies of american citizens which are on the security service’s danger list (as released by DHS a couple of years ago).
“...and vote them out”
hopefully the ballot box is all it will take....
