Hell you can't even park your car where you want because there is some corporate war going on over who should get the parking revenue. I wonder how many of the man's laws we break everyday just living our lives?
I'm sorry but that constitution isn't worth the paper it was written on. Look at Washington DC banning hand guns, a direct violation of the second ammendment, Yet it's been that way since the 70's! Where is your federal government in up holding the constitution?
I honestly don't see how the above comment is in any way bashing America!
It is nothing but fact. When I was younger and knew no better, I believed what our Government told us. Thank God I have become wiser as I have aged.
If anything it is the USA that should be crawling under a rock in shame!!
We elected Bush, we elected the house and senate, we gave the power to all that voted to start this BS war.
Some say... Our troops fight to keep our freedoms and our freedom of speech. What a crock of S(^T!
Sure.. we can say anything we want to in our home.. behind closed doors, but try to make a public speech without a permit ( that the city or state get to decide if you can or not). is that free speech??
and we have only had 1 war with honest reasons.. getting Hitler out!
No- pearl harbor was not right either, we were already fight them, for no good reason. they were defending themselves. but we basically use it as a reason to drop THE BOMB.
We are the only Country to ever DROP THE BOMB, talk about mass destruction!! then we have the gall to tell other Countries that they can not make these same bombs to defend themselves, cant even test them, and we go after Sadam for WMD??? WTF?!
now lets cover our Government in the 60s and 70s during the war...
The Government supplied the masses with all kinds of drugs as an attempt of mind control, try to keep us so stoned that we wouldn't pay attention to the war, how many lives we lost over there for no reason at all except profits, then as soon as the war ended,, they begin arresting off of the drug users?! all of the sudden- the drugs are our enemy- now begins the war on drugs! ( we have to have some kind of war right)
Now list all of the freedoms we have lost! and we are letting it happen.
We never own a Home, as soon as we don't pay taxes they will take it,same with our cars or anything else we own, Our government can and will take everything you have if you cant or don't pay taxes. what kind of a freedom is this?!
now lets look at the voting system.. the candidates and backers actually have the right to Tell many thousands of Americans that their votes will not count!!!!!
WTF!! Wake up America..We need to get back to popular vote counting and every American gets a vote!! write to your senate congressman and President! SCREAM AND BE HEARD- YOU WANT TO FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS AND OUR FREEDOM- DON'T DO IT IN ANOTHER COUNTRY- TAKE IT TO OUR OWN GOVERNMENT!
