    It is a disgusting over-reach of power. I realize that people hate this kind of argument, but when you give an inch to the government (patriot act) they take a mile (indefinite detention of US citizens)

    I agree.

    If I was President Obama Id be using the Patriot Act to define true terrorist to the country and Constitution. A Governing Accounting Board of sorts.

    I mean house members walking out on deals to make $$ for their own profit. WTF is that? Presidential Candidate who are business members leverage buyouts shutting down corporations and people's lives, for their own profit. Governmental members setting up for false failure corporations to grab the cash cow and pork barrel politics. Things that are destroying the people who pay into this system and not even benefiting from it. Government regimes that set up a false war and steal $$ and dont even pay back into a system.

    Define Terrorist.

    it has to go back to the house to be rewritten. that is the procedure after a veto. the bill goes back to the house and they can either override the veto, or re-write the bill, pass it, have it pass the senate, and then the president can either sign it or veto it and send it back... and the process continues....

    now let me get this straight...

    after the president vetoes it, it gets sent back to the house where the presidents veto can be over ridden???


    how about the president just says, i do not want that shit crossing my desk again. politricks is such bullshit.

    the fact that this bill has passed on "bill of rights day" is drenched with irony...

    People are outraged enough. The tension is incredible. Let the military complex bitch slap all of you around some more.

    Barack Obama has abandoned a commitment to veto a new security law that allows the military to indefinitely detain without trial American terrorism suspects arrested on US soil who could then be shipped to Guantánamo Bay.

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/de ... tion-obama

    First Obama was going to close Guantanamo and now he has signed authorization to jail Americans there. Fear, lies and poor leadership have successfully changed our values and our way of life by managing to bend the majority of our Politicians from both side of the isle to the will of the Terrorists. That in iteslf is some major accomplishment. It's pathetic that the same congress who could barely compromise to avoid default can so easily be Bi-partisan when it comes to shafting the American people. There is no doubt anymore that Obama and Bush are one and the same.

    R.I.P. America.
    The terrorists have won.

    actually the terrorists won with the passage of the patriot act and the legalization of warrantless wiretaps...and the outrageous security measures taken at airports, concerts, and even the damn cardinal baseball game...and the forced listening to "god bless america" during the 7th inning stretch...we never did any of that stuff before 9/11....

    freedom?




    yeah right...

    Next up on the agenda..
    A law preventing the permanent transfer of personal wealth outside the U.S. You will be permitted to leave the country if you so wish and live somewhere else, but the majority of your assets will be required to remain here.

    Not such a stretch when you take into account the fact it's clear that many of our politicians have forgotten who they work for. Us.

    Oh I screamed, I screamed so hard when all the 9/11 shit went down Im was telling people theyre taking your freedoms, nobody listened then, you think they'ed listen now? Its gonna take the start of concentration camps before anyone gets off their ass. Honestly. My opinion.

    We have #OWS people concerned about all of us. Maybe giving some hope to the hopeless. Thats is about it. Look at Egypt. What started out looking like true freedom ended up with another BS puppet regime

    Good for us poor people... LMFAO. What assets? Here is my broken laptop and 200 bucks in the bank. Its all yours, fuckers.

    I dont know. Nobody has any $$. What more can they take? And in like times gave rise to Hitler, when people starving on the street in their fear and need of survival turns a blind eye to human atrocities.


    What else can they take after the money is gone, you ask?

    Our Freedoms.

    I always hear Americans ranting about their freedoms and the Bill or Rights, yet it seems painfully apparent that these rights no longer matter. Your government has been bought and paid for and your rights are slipping through your fingers faster than you can blink.

    The scariest thing happening in the US right now is the fact that the biggest threat you face is your own government. How can they casually pass legislation which essentially nullifies a person's right to due process? To me, this is real terror in action.
