Are you afraid of your own government?

[Roths]

State your vote.

[Celsius]

No. I am afraid of the ignorant people who vote for socialist.

[ShADoW]

I live in a stable country with a sane government, so no im not afraid

[Acco]

No. I am afraid of the ignorant people who vote for socialist.

You do not have to worry, Celsius; the Socialists are a distinct minority in these United States. The Socialist Party USA candidate Brian Moore received only 6,528 votes nationally and the Socialist Workers' Party received even less than that total. These 10,000 voters in all will not be able to dramatically alter our nation, so we do not have to fear them and how they exercise their rights. As such, the Socialist threat has been avoided once again, and our country remains free from tyranny.

There's a difference between the socialists and the Socialists.

EDIT: That is to say, nearly all American socialists (or rather, socialists that claim to be American) aren't Socialists.

You mean actual Socialists and non-Republicans to Republicans.

I'm not afraid of my government. They should fear me and all the others who hated the incompetent, regardless of left or right.

I meant what I said.

[razor-]

No, not at all, I have a huge faith in my goverment to be honest.

[Pallantides]

Hell yes I'm afraid, they might kill me any moment!

[Barry Goldwater]

No, I do however live in fear (well, not so much fear as seething anger ) of the idiots who state their idiotic opinions and get taken seriously (left and right, it doesn't matter - idiots are still idiots whether they're wearing tie-dye or a preacher's clothes).

I just fear them getting power.

[Barry Goldwater]

Who doesn't, save their ignorant supporters?

[Boer]

I think you need a "parts of it" option. Living in America, I see a major difference between, say, my state government and parts of the Federal government. In total though, I'd have to say that I am less afraid of them than I am the unintended consequences of their actions. That is, I'm not really concerned that my government is planning to murder me, but I am worried that its comprised of a bunch of (well meaning) idiots who don't think through the potential consequences of their actions.

[Mafioso]

Yes with their conspiracy and all that

[The Dude]

I'm afraid that our prime minister has become a little obsessed with himself and might try to make 4 or 5 party coalitions to stay in power after the 2011 elections, but all in all, no. I am not afraid.

[Norpheus]

I have full trust in the goverment we have now in Sweden, but the leader off the opposition scares the out of me.



If she wins in 2010, I will leave this country and head for america!

[HansDuet]

I don't trust it but I have no reason to be afraid of it either.

The current Irish government, a Fianna Fáil - Green coalition (with remnants of the far-right Progressive Democrats), is ridiculously corrupt and incompetent. Recently, it censored a news story about paintings of the Taoiseach (prime minister) by a satirist and tried to seize related documents from a radio station. The only illegal thing the man did was to nail a tack in the wall of a gallery to hang his painting (criminal damage, apparently), and yet for several days it seemed as if they were about to arrest him, claiming the crime was worse than it actually was.

Basically:
-They tried to arrest a satirist for being a satirist.
-They prevented a news story being broadcast by news broadcasters.

They only backed down when the other parties (primarily Fine Gael and Labour) became very, very vocal and refused to go along with them. However, it shows just how untrustworthy the current government is.

[Lancy]

My government may be incompetant and rubbish, but I have no reason to be afraid of it ... yet.

Personally, I think a responsible citizen should possess a healthy level of distrust and fear for their nation.
