I agree. I think his theory is a crock, maybe I'm not thinking straight but it's basically saying whomever the next president(or is president if we happen to get attacked) will want to put all of america into camps to either kill them or re-educate them for some reason or another. Makes no sense to me.

I think that you're underestimating the moral strength of the American people just a tad. We can be douchebags most of the time, and yes some people will be content to slurp up anything the government feeds them, but that's always provided that the government leaves them alone. Those jingoistic flag wavers are probably going to be the first to pick up a twelve-gauge when soldiers come a knockin' with a project worthy of the Nazis. They're not just going to sit around while people kill their sons and rape their wives and daughters.
Sorry, just... No.
Once more got to agree with B on that. I can't say anymore at this point because he's already said it.
I would have believed the theory should it have involved putting only those who've spoken out against the government into 'camps' and leaving the rest alone or something.
