Yah, sorta like Obama suggesting to people hypnotically that a light would shine down on them and they would have an epiphany and they would have to vote for Barack!!!!!!!
I missed when Pres. or Senator Obama "suggested" that?
I provided an exact quote in response to your innacurate one...and you doubled down by just making up phrases all-together? I would rpefer honest debate.

Honestly those are disgusting. The caricature is racist itself and most of what is written (and misspelled) is untrue. This is not free speech as much as it is libel and defamation.

Maybe you just don't comprehend that forcing a bill even on Congress without it being read is completely ridiculous and not even on the map of democracy, even a representative one.

The patriot act was passed by congress and not a damned one of them read it or wrote it. It is completely illegal and unconstitutional, representing a total breach of our entire way of life and system of governance.The executive branch is not authorized by the constitution to make or write legislation

As opposed to one majority group of elected representatives imposing their will over the minority group of elected representatives?
The only difference is that the US system concentrates power within the hands of a group of representatives. They will make our decisions for us. They are our Masters.

The patriot act was not written by congress and it was thousands of pages long.
911 was planned many years in advance, and was clearly perpetrated in part by persons inside our own nations government in positions of power. it would have been impossible for any congress critter to have read it, yet they succumbed to extreme pressure to sign it anyway. This is all a matter of public record and nothing I have said is in question. At the point where the government stepped outside the constitution that defines the federal government, it became illegitimate. It IS that simple.
When the Patriot Act went down in defeat last Tuesday as result of Tea Party members rebelling against the GOP leadership, it was a sign that the winds are changing. Of course they are going to try it again, as soon as Friday 2/11 (probably today as you are reading.) We need to keep holding their feet to the fire.
