No, when the going gets tough they just leave.
In my eyes it's outrageous that one can't sip a beer from a glas in the open enjoying the spring sun after work ... what kind of live is it you are willingly living there ?
Maybe they leave because they won't put up with the crap.
We stay.
Way more worried about Katie Couric than if the government should be able to tell us when/how/where/if we should live our lives.
And what are we doing?? Sitting on our hands while our "elected representatives" (read: masters) are busy feeling important.
Weenies?
Nah! Suckerrrrrrrrrs.
I feel your anger. A lot of us do.. Once you lose a freedom you never get it back.. Never...
I always wondered why I needed government approval to drive on roads that I paid for. Supposedly because they would make sure every driver was qualified, insured, sober, etc. Now I get stopped at roadblocks and have to show my license supposedly to check that I'm sober but actually they mostly happen right after the first of the month. At this point in history, major crimes are being ignored in favor of harassing and busting law-abiding citizens for small violations. This can't continue.
Just seems like EVERY LAW THAT CRIMINALIZES SOMETHING GOES AGAINST AMERICANS.
And the crimmigrants just do what they want. And congress is more worried about the Hispanic vote. And who the hell knows who is pulling Bushes strings, I don't have a clue.
Buckle up weiner boy!!!!!!
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Neither Congress nor the Courts or even the ex or current president are responsible for the future of OUR COUNTRY.
They will all just sit back and collect their pensions while many hard working patriotic Americans get screwed by the company they worked for all their lives.
Any behavior can be criminalized if a majority wants to.
Enforcement however depends on the will of officials.

Not true in the least.
"But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."
Thomas Jefferson
You have been seduced by the whore "Democracy".
We are supposed to live in a Republic, no tyranny of the majority.
Live your life as you see fit.
Don't tell me how to live mine.
bttt
The truth is that all of these are local level laws that should be the easiest to stop.
By the way, if you lived in Texas you would have added one more.
"A man on business from Chicago goes into the hotel bar where he is staying to have some beers and food, and watch the game after sealing the deal. By the third quarter an officer sees him cheering louder than the officer deems reasonable. The officer asks the bartender how many the man has had. "Six" the bartender replies.
The officer confronts the man who defensively tells the officer "sir I am watching this game and staying in this hotel, did the hotel manager complain or a customer?'
"No but its illegal to be drunk in a bar"
"I am not drunk" the man replies.
.Officer escorts the man to the lobby where he is asked to take a breathalyser. On principle the man refuses and is hauled away to jail for the night.
When we become a nation of lawbreakers, then the government has complete control over us and our lives. The only thing they have left to accomplish is to take away our firearms. On that day, we become serfs.
