You are brainwashed, man you should seriously quit watching fox news.

Let me guess you think you are a "conservative". So that means you like huge government, huge taxes, and total liberty loss.

-Bin Laden is friends with the Bush family, they have been for many years.

-9/11 was an inside job.

-Saddam Hussain had nothing to do with 9/11.

-Our actions since 9/11 have successfully pissed off about 95% of the worlds population.(Understandably)

-Our grandchildren will remember George W Bush in the exact same light as we remember Adolph hitler.

-We now live in a police state, where a bunch of idiots arrest you for having a pocket constitution in your vehicle.

-Gov't agencies have unlimited power to listen to your phonecalls, read your e-mails, and regular mail without telling you.

-Martial law can be declared by the president for any reason, suspending the bill of rights.

Are you a cop?

If so you better do some reading, because if you go around trampling on peoples rights, and privacy to catch the boogyman(that doesn't even exist), you will be held accountable, sooner than later.

You may want to read the Constitution sometime, because this is exactly the type of thing it was written to protect us against:

- John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007

- The Patriot Act

- USA Patriot Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005

- Military Commissions Act of 2006

Look them up on: thomas.loc.gov...

I for one dont give a damn if someone is running around naked, or wants to drug their life away. It's none of my concern. Btw, disagree all you like, that's another thing I don't care about.

At least capitalism enables me to see most of the fruits of my labor. Compared to other systems, I reap the most benefit from my hard work.

sounds like somebody's swallowed the Man's lies hook line and sinker! there is no real war going on. if you would travel and live in other countries like i have the past 6 years (out of the US almost 15 times in that time period living in europe and asia) you would see normal people going about their daily business with no war in sight. The only war going on is in the middle east (like always) and afghanistan. And I bet a lot of that is either started by US imperialists for oil or ideological control or is made up by the US to create a feeling of fear in its citizens; because if the majority figure out "hey its ok outside the US, in fact its better!!' then the US loses because the Man is afraid of everyone waking up and leaving the country. That is the good option too! The other option they are afriad of is bad option, which is americans fighting their own government, which will happen if there is no release valve, ie travel.

just my two cents. So i think you have been brainwashed. Get out more.

Hi Slacker,

Interesting post.



They allow more of our liberty to be taken away


Such as?

well one example, a mother's right to carry breast milk in a container on a plain without tampering with it or classifying it a 'dangerous substance'.

They allow the government to infringe on more and more of our rights in the name of "fighting terror",


Such as?

A person's ability to seek employment without going through an intrusive background check as if they were applying for a security clearance ( have you seen the I-9 forms?). www.uscis.gov...

I ask these questions for clarification. I for one do not know of a personal
freedom or liberty that has been stripped away by our Government.

ok...just sit tight and watch when the Interstate travel visa's are enacted and enforced. While on the same subject, how about those checkpoints 'russian style' going up in Washington D.C. soon to be all over?

I sometimes get the feeling people regurgitate media sound bites in order to seem well informed.



My final question to you would be; Is there a country you think is more of
a model for what you seek as one of it's citizens?

Yep!...try "Norway" Prisoners leave prison daily to go to REAL jobs, supporting the economy and actually being reformed as model citizens, their healthcare is excellent (and FREE), everyone is afforded the same excellent level of healthcare. Meanwhile back here, people are given aid at the expense of taxpayers, only to have the government demand it back from them.

So in essence, they look 'good' in the media's eye for all the help they deliver (often times much too late) This country spends more on WAR on ____ than it does on improving the quality of life for it's own citizens.

It allows yuppie stock traders to gamble on energy futures so the price of a gallon of gas leaves many to choose between FOOD or fuel. All the while outsourcing everything to support other countries. It is the largest working example of a dysfunctional household (yard's mowed, house is painted nice...but inside every thing is falling to rack-n-ruin).

Try reading it again. It isn't me that wants to stifle anything, its the retards that make up a large portion of the general public.
