you know, Land of the Free, blessed with inalienable rights by God himself, checks and balances, limited presidential powers – remember learning about that country in school?
This is very important when taking in context of what has happend in the country over the last few years with democratic approval. Everybody please look up.
Patriot act I and II
Public Law 109-364, or the “John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007” (H.R.5122) (2), which was signed by the commander in chief on October 17th, 2006, in a private Oval Office ceremony, allows the President to declare a “public emergency” and station troops anywhere in America and take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of the governor or local authorities, in order to “suppress public disorder.”
On Aug. 4th 2007, the Senate passed the Bush backed ‘spy bill’, which preserves & expands the illegal domestic spying program. I hope people are educated enough by this time to know that such legislations have nothing to do with Terrorism, and everything to do with monitoring and controlling American dissent.
Furthermore, on May 9 2007, Bush signed the
National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive,
which gives Bush near full dictatorial powers in the event of a “National Emergency”. Bush, and the people he works for, will be able to do ANYTHING they want if a “National Emergency” is deemed. All they need is a “New 9/11”.
The US Constitution will no longer be applicable.
From what I have read of the founding fathers I believe they would want us to have a second american revolution by now. This is exactly what they were fighting against. These are huge steps towards a totalitarian, oppressive, military style, surveillance based Police State.
Unless any other candidate promises to repeal these things I won’t even think about voting for them. Ron Paul is the only one talking about them.
In a way, the world-view of the party imposed itself
most successfully on the people incapable of
understanding it. They could be made to accept the
most flagrant violations of reality, because they
never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded
of them, and were not sufficiently interested in
public events to notice what was happening. By lack of
understanding, they remained sane. “?~George Orwell,
1984
