Has Congress lost its mind?

Remember at one point we did round up the Japanese.

And I must admit the more they shove us in this direction, the less I feel they are OUR government.

While I love the United States of America, this government does not represent We the People. And if it has failed in this very basic of sworn duties are we obligated to suffer its abuses?

If at some time in the future I don’t have the opportunity to say so...it has been nice communicating with you all. No matter what happens...resist. In your heart you know what to do.

McCain and Graham are not Republicans or Democrats. They are founding members of the American Fascist Party.

This should please the law & order types that hang out here. After all if you’ve done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear. Right?? Well, if this passes the House and Barry signs it (which he says he won’t) then the L&O types will be dancing in the streets on the Constitution.

We have become a nation of zombies who are happy to elect Santa Claus. It is said that 3% led the revolution against England. Do we have that many on our side? What is the percentage of commie sympathizers that have tried repeated revolutions over the years?
We are all considered domestic terrorists anyway..........

I think that they are preparing for the opposition of their policies. Domestic “terrorism” is on their minds. Looks like Domestic “terrorism” will be construed as any opposition to our current burden of fiscal and regulatory rules that seem to be heavier with each passing day.

Given that this legislation comes during a time where the skid mark and his socialist-loving minions are coordinating riotous anti-capitalist mobs across the country, I not so sure a tinfoil hat is required.

BUMP!!!

And don't forget our previous illustrious chief executive, aka George W. Bush, who created and organized all of the tools that the Pretenda from Kenya is using and WILL use in the future, i.e., the "Department of Homeland Security" and their transportation jackboots "Transportation Security Administration" in addition to the so-called 'Patriot Act' and the expansion of federal power into every corner of our lives.

We are heading towards:

Fascist-Totalitarian-Feudalism.

Has Congress lost it’s mind you ask? years ago. However, this is exactly what happened in Germany in the 1930’s. A seemingly benign leader took power, was able to talk his way into supreme power and not a shot was fired... until he showed his true colors.

We’re looking at a very bad civil war folks. It’s coming. Congress has shown that it is party to what Obama wants and the citizens are screwed.

The only saving grace we have is that we are well armed. The cost for Obama shredding the Constitution will be very high on his side, ours too. I’ve pretty much given up on our nation being set on the right course without violence. The left want a war and they want it bad.

They’re going to get it. Someone is going to snap and it’s going to be on. Sadly, Bush really does have some fault in this. The abomination of the Patriot Act never, ever should have seen the light of day. The fact that it did speaks volumes about those who are supposed to represent us.

“I can think of only one reason for them to be pursuing this now: they are anticipating massive civil unrest in the not-too-distant future.”

And Congress is desperate to pass a piece of garbage legislation, hoping that the military will protect their worthless butts. They can read the tea leaves and understand that millions of people consider them traitors. They hope this fig leaf of illegal legislation will somehow persuade the military to attack civilians. These traitors are in for a surprise. They’re too stupid to realize that a rifle can point at them, too.

Given the choice of pointing a rifle at my family or congress, I know which direction to go in. This is the last gasp of the criminal fascist syndicate occupying Washington.

Another indicator that those who do not fall lock step in with the government dictates are in danger.

Who here lives in GA? Let’s exchange means of contact. We may need to have friends in local places, and friends in faraway places too.

Maybe only the 2nd time I’ve agreed with the ACLU.

What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

What good can a Handgun do against a satellite commanded drone with a Hellfire missile?

2nd Div Vet, you're fighting the last century's guerrilla war. That's over with.

1. "The US Army" is a faceless video game of hot IR blips running, it's not Ohio State or Gettysburg.

2. "Terrorists." Soldiers don't have to think about firing on fellow citizens. They just have to be convinced they're saving the constitution from terrorists in order to fire on us.

It's sad, but true.
