(maybe aside from the government itself), are these people - http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20060513_battlecry_philadelphia/ Inside the U.S., thousands, maybe millions of these types, willing and blatanly have a call to overthrow the constitution and create a christian theocracy in America. Let alone the damage that they have done to this country through their political influence, now they just want to go all the way.
Yes, these people exist and wish to see everyone forced to live under their religious rules. Unless you want to live in a strict society like in Iran or Saudi Arabia, don't be complacent and let them sneak into power.
well freedom and the u.s. constitution are two very different things, but the do both face the same major threat, and that, oddly enough, is the self serving focus of major dominant influences. specificly the mechanism which has been created to enhance the accumulation and concentration of symbolic wealth, which has become, by way of the corporate mechanism, self serving, self controlling, isolated from either rendering useful service to, nor any sort of control input from, any sort of real persons, places or things. this is not some sort of deliberate attack. it is an entirely blind and mindless mechanism, incapable of deliberately choosing anything, but utterly locked exclusively into its own self serving perpetuation and 'advancement'. a true 'doomsday machine' in every sense of the word. all powerful and with no one, no awairness of its own existence, nothing with any awairness of thier own existence in any sort of control of it. there are those who profit it from it, emensely, in its own symbolic terms. and we tend to think of them as being somehow in control of it. and indeed they make decisions which affect all of us. but it is the mechanism they and their decisions are motivated by, and thus serve, rather then being, even themselves, served by it. =^^= .../\...
The biggest threat to the constitution and personal freedoms in the US is ignorance and indifference.
I can agree with that. Also, gross unhindered materialism. Do we really need all the latest, most expensive gadgets and lifestyle?
Ask yourself if you are familiar with the policies and programs being inniated behind closed doors by officials you are unware of? http://www.spp.gov/ I fear these corporate types a whole lot more than I fear the hard line Christian movement.
Damn Gardener, I had the answer but you already said it. Altho I was going to use the words "apathy" and "fear"...
