Problem is most conservatives are right out there cheering this type of stuff on. Both the Left and the Right own this so I don’t expect it to be fixed. America was a pretty good place to live 30 years ago but it sucks now and this is one reason why.
I agree 100% - but still am not sure if this young man killed himself or was assassinated. Speculation abounds over some of the secrets Aaron may have uncovered in his hacking our nefarious govt. That said, prosecutorial abuse is reaching epic proportions and no one is safe any more. Real felons walk the streets undaunted and occupy high office, yet nothing will ever happen. Sleep well, Jon Corzine - you are in safe company... for now.
I agree.
Good points, well made.
In Stalin’s USSR a 10 year sentence was the ultmate. In the old west, 5 years in prison was a long sentence.
Today almost every minor federal crime carries 10 years. Many carry 20, 30, or life. Some like NDAA are indefinite with no right to a trial or to an appeal. We have become an authoritarian dictatorship. Only a blind man cannot see this.
How about our Marines, soldiers, sailors and airmen stop sitting on their fat asses and take a stand. They’re part of America, too. I haven’t heard a peep out of them. There’s more of them than President Buckwheat’s affirmative action, butt-kissing generals.
Bullies need to be smacked down. The harder, the better.
Many hands make light work.
Conservatives could do more if they banded together. (The GOP is hunting them down, so forget that group.)
How about a Conservative Party? Or maybe the TEA Party?
I was dismissed from a jury when the prosecutor asked me “if it was illegal to wear a blue tie would you convict”. I said “NO as a juror i had a right to nullify stupid and unjust laws”.
I thought the judge was going to explode and the prosecutor was going to cry.
I have been called for jury duty two times since. Never made it past the call this number to see if your selected phase... :)
This is an absolutely huge issue with companies now trying to claim that it is illegal for you to resell your used cellphone.
What is sad is that the people and companies doing this cannot see that they are slitting their own throats
“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” - Ayn Rand
