TSA is no longer just doing planes. They are performing random stops and searches on highways and public roads. They are installing industrial grade X-rays at, near and possibly away from the border. They are jack booted thugs with absolute license to infringe on everyone's liberty. Remember that they may operate within 200 miles of the border and every airport is now considered a border. They can now operate anywhere. They are the enemy of the constitution and the people of the United States of America.
No. You are wrong. The idea that the debt limit increase was to be tied to budget cuts was an artificial construct of the republicans and tea partiers. They had no part in adding those to the issue.
Saying the democrats attempted to shut down the government is like saying that someone is guilty of attempted murder when there is a terrorist holding 3 people hostage and he demands that you pick one that he will rape and murder and the other two go free, otherwise he will try to kill all three, and you fail to pick one. It is an idiotic assertion to blame the democrats for that.
She wanted to monitor my email and everything. Very nosy. I refused and she bitched about not trusting me. Turns out she was a cheating whore and just assumed that I had to be getting some on the side as well. She needed to verify because she could not trust because she was herself untrustworthy and insecure about it. Sharing passwords does not show trust, it shows lack of trust.
The problem is that a "genuine deterrent" of humiliation, sensory deprivation, abuse and torture does not work. When someone goes through that it tends to cause severe mental imbalances like post traumatic stress disorder, anti-social behavior depression, paranoia, psychopathy, sociopathy, etc. What your "solution" does is create the most horrible kind of criminal that will never be able to integrate into society under any circumstances and it is only a matter of time before they go on to commit more serious crimes, kill themselves or become institutionalized. This is a known fact supported by pretty much the entire community of psychology.
The punishment of being in prison is being away from the world. To reform prisoners they need to be shown compassion and understanding, they need therapy, education and training. They do not need to be beaten like a dog until all they can do is bite back.
I had just assumed you were American like me, sorry. The point I am making with the "why do you hate America?" comment is that if you see torture, humiliation, degradation, concentration camps, and death by dehydration and heat stroke to be not "cruel and unusual" then the "justice" you seek is antithetical to the American constitutional ideology.
Sounds more like the Occupy Movement... the funny thing is even as you don't like the fringe, I rather doubt you like the center either.
How were the Occupy Movement going to shut down the government? sitting on the steps of capitol hill and chanting while they get shot, pepper sprayed and hauled off to jail? The tea party held the US and global economy hostage to to extract tax breaks for billionaires in a time of crisis.
While Occupy didn't speak with a single unified voice, the general message was to purge corruption and collusion from the banking industry and government. That was definitely a good message and fairly well aimed.
Nothing stopping me from leaving? There are the family, friends, neighbors and citizens that I would be abandoning.
They're not stopping you from leaving. You choosing not to leave is a different matter; no one is forcing you to stay.
Semantics. They are stopping me because I am not willing to let them go AKA abandon them. I want all of America to be made right, prosperous and free. Not split with one half going off the shrivel and die and the other facing a very uncertain future in a weakened state.
If every person who gives a damn about this country moves away, then the people who want to tear it all down will win
What people are those? The people tearing down the country are your own countrymen. It's like that in just about every country that's ever been "torn down". The Roman Empire wasn't conquered by outsiders, it destroyed itself due to corruption. It's the same here.
No. I will not run away. I will not cede ground. I will stay. I will speak. I will act. I will fight to make my country right
You'll be fighting all your friends, neighbors, and even family, because they're the ones who are trying to change the country into something you don't like. Just look at how they vote.
No shit. The difference is that I do not believe it is inevitable and unavoidable. Most of the people being manipulated by the fascists and anti-american traitors are being manipulated and lied to and are being tricked into voting their own country away. Maybe I will have to fight them, maybe they will be able to see through all the bullshit. And if they don't, they are still my ideological enemies and enemies of America. And I don't have a problem with fighting that, even if it is a loosing battle it is the right thing to do.
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on that sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Nothing stopping me from leaving? There are the family, friends, neighbors and citizens that I would be abandoning.

I will act. I will fight to make my country right, to strive for the ideals of liberty and progress that so many have abandoned. That is what it means to be an American Patriot.
You forgot: and don't look like a Mexican. because he is ignoring many many crimes committed by whites so he can imprison as many brown people as he possibly can.
The US constitution demands due process and no cruel or unusual punishment. If you have a problem with that, why do you hate America?
The difference is that the Tea Party literally made terroristic threats to shut down the government and cause irrecoverable economic damage to my country.
I am a southerner myself. Do I feel bad about mocking the fucking Tea Party traitors who want to destroy my state and my country? Fuck no, I am an American Patriot. How is that stupid?
California is having budget issues mostly because the federal government is raping it, so that its wealth can be redistributed to Republican owned southern and midwestern states. Californians pay far more in federal tax than they receive back in federal benefits. If California was on its own and took those federal taxes itself, its debt would be gone almost immediately.
I don't want the tea party / south to break off. They have fucktarded economic and social principals and will quickly devolve into an violent anarchic slave state that will put Mogadishu to shame. And I don't want to move away from the gulf coast to stay American.

That supports the idea that the democrats are indeed a right wing party. There are however differences between the Democrats and Republicans. The republicans (assuming we include the Tea Party) pander to the insane ravings of the evangelical apocalyptic cults as well as the zealotry to a doomed and counterfactual economic model to the point of willingness to throw the entire world economy under a bus and destroy America as quickly as possible. The Democrats are merely content to let America die a slow death from corruption while placing bandaids on the deep wounds inflicted by corporatism.

Being bipartisan doesn't mean it isn't right wing. The Democrats are only slightly to moderately right wing, while the Republicans vary from moderately to extremely right wing. And then there is the tea party who are bat shit insane right wing.
I've also been on welfare and it did not feed a family of 5. Nor did it allow us to live in a non condemned building. Welfare is far from a free ride if you don't have an illegal source of income.
I think they are more throwing a fit because he crams them into dark green korean war surplus tents in the 115 degree Arizona heat with no cooling and limited water. I think they are more throwing a fit because he also uses hot boxes as additional punishment in those conditions. I think they are more throwing a fit because he is literally running concentration camps here in the US.
People get real desperate when they have hungry kids. When I was a kid my father poached wild game. It was the only way we could afford meat. And my mother ground hogs feed to make bread, because we couldn't afford either bread or grain intended for human consumption. When you are in that kind of situation you do or you die. There is no other option.
Convicts -> criminals -> suspects -> terrorists -> immigrants -> non party members -> serfs don't have rights. It is the natural progression of an authoritarian state. We are somewhere around 4 and 5 right now. The constitution and the rule of law only matters as long as there are people in power who respect them.
You don't even have to be convicted. All property involved in a drug arrest can be seized and sold at auction before trial. If you are acquitted,found innocent, or even prove that it was a complete framejob at most you will get a form letter apologizing for the inconvenience.
