Apple, Other Silicon Valley Companies to Meet With White House Over Online Terrorism Recruitment

[Renzatic]

As the witty saying 'Faux News' proves nothing.

In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.
Voltaire (1764)

Though to put that quote into perspective, Voltaire was likely talking about the monarchy taking from the citizenry to give to themselves. He was a Frenchman at the end of the 18th century, after all.

Of course you could say the opposite applies equally well. But with our ever widening wage gap, I'm thinking the rich probably aren't suffering too much at the moment.

The best recruitment tool ISIL has is US and its Allies foreign policy.

The best recruitment tool is that muslim women living in western societies are less and less willing to date stone age men, and the men think that waving a gun around is a replacement when they can't get laid.

The US constitution makes it impossible for any one person to become a dictator.

It does no such thing. Once the Supreme Court, Congress and the Executive branch get together politically there is nothing stopping them. All that is needed is a bunch of people that think one party is politically correct and the other party is bad and should be destroyed at any cost. All it takes is a bunch of people that think controversy is bad and should be eliminated. All it takes is a bunch of people that get paid benefits for voting a specific way. All it takes is a bunch of people that don't want to listed to the other side. All it takes is for laws to be enforced based on political affiliation instead of right or wrong. We are already at the point of failure according to the founders, the point where people realize they can vote themselves money from the general fund. Read a little world history.

You do remember that Hitler was democratically elected and was forced to enact laws to protect Germany and certain helpless German citizens. The people willing gave him power and once he became all powerful he was not stoppable without massive bloodshed. World War is what results from too much government power. You want to stop war, then limit government power. It has worked for 100s of years. Weak governments do not make war.

There was a lot more to how hitler came into power going back to the end of WWI. It wasn't as simple as 'he was democratically elected'.

A bunch of people??? Seriously??? if you think you can get Congress, executive and judicial to agree on anything... And then have 2/3rds of the States to ratify it. Then you truly need to be president.
