Re: Our Super Leaders
This could happen - look at Nazi Germany. Think that it could not happen again. While not on the national level, there are several examples of modern day groups that are essentially the same thing, only on a small scale. Think about what is going on today with the national heath care, regardless of the opinion that you have of it and you can draw several parallels with the pre-WWII Nazis. Several super-supporters in the right place could unknowingly be pushing forward such an agenda. While doing this would require years to accomplish, it could happen, and not be as hard as everyone seems to think it would be. It would start off small - one or two supers in Congress each election would quickly add up to the simple majority that is required to pass most new laws. "Convincing" Supreme Court Justices to rule their way on certain issues, and replacing the retiring Justices with supers. Then when they are ready to go public with their plans, they will on the first election put a super in the Presidency. Sure conspiracy theorists would be telling others around that this is going on, but this would be easy to deal with. Before they would start at the national level, they would be quietly working on all the states so that when a Constitutional amendment is necessary, they will be able to get it passed. I estimate that this will require a minimum of 15 years to accomplish.
