The USSR and Nazi Germany were at least honest about their totalitarian tendencies, whereas BushCo continues to peddle the line that America is a free country while violating every international convention and law that gets in their way.*
. . . so I can meta-moderate some of these "Insightful" mods awarded to the usual redundant "Bushitler and Choebbels lied" posts back into the basement where they belong.
Let everybody criticize AT&T, and let AT&T cancel all the critic's accounts...AT&T's service sucks, anyway, so they would be doing me a favor by terminating my account.
Thanks - now every Anonymous Coward with an ATT contract is wondering why their phones don't work.
Right, the US would never hold people without a trial, spy on its citizens, or deport people to be tortured
But the US does allow Anonymous Cowards to question, accuse, and insult our nation and its leaders without fear of reprisal, whereas in China you'd be getting a knock on your door any minute now.
Under Bush, the terrorists have won everything, because Bush is a terrorist. Even in Germany, people aren't safe from Bush's terrorism. Bush is indeed the greatest terrorist of them all. By any measure, including by body count (the way terrorists terrorize) and by how much liberty he's destroyed.
. . . +1 Insightful?
It's not "insightful" boys and girls - it's stupid beyond belief. If we were REALLY living in the police state OP describes, the OP would have been locked-up, disappeared, or dragged out into the street and executed a long, long time ago. Just take a look at his comment history - he's been at this for a while.
But here he is - insulting the "greatest terrorist of them all" - and he'll be back tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that.
You know how I know America is the greatest nation in Man's short history? Because America tolerates morons like DocRuby - and the idiots who mod him "+1 Insightful"
For those unfamiliar with Air Force traditions, IYAAYAS stands for If You Ain't Ammo, You Ain't Shit
Members of Air Force munitions squadrons, responsible for the storage, handling, and loading of weapons on USAF aircraft, are a notoriously independent bunch. Except when transporting and loading weapons on aircraft, they live in their own tightly guarded compounds (REALLY tight if storing nukes). Some say this is to limit access to the weapons, but many in the Air Force believe it's to limit exposure to the "special" breed of troop that spends his days counting BBs. This seclusion has given them their own separate identity, which they proudly proclaim with the above acronym as well as shouting AMMO! in unison whenever their squadron is mentioned.
Something tells we won't be hearing AMMO! yelled around Minot AFB for a while. . .
Get up at 4:00 a.m., slop the pigs, milk the cows, brush the horses, feed the chickens, cook breakfast, eat breakfast, hook up a plow to the tractor, plow the north 40 acres, meet the vet to see that sick heifer, drive to town and plead for another loan, buy feed for the animals and groceries for the family, drive home, cook dinner, eat dinner, pay bills, balance the checkbook, go to bed (9:00 p.m.)
Then get up the next day and repeat. And continue to repeat for two weeks (except Sundays - go to the church of your choice on Sunday and pray to God you survive another year). Then come back and complain.
I would hardly make the assumption that the generally state controlled national guard is going to be fighting in other countries.
Well, you'd be making a wrong assumption:
Throughout the 19th century the regular Army was small, and the militia provided the majority of the troops during the Mexican-American War, the start of the American Civil War, and the Spanish-American War. In 1903, part of the militia was federalized and renamed the National Guard and organized as a Reserve force for the Army. In World War I, the National Guard made up 40 percent of the U.S. combat divisions in France. In World War II the National Guard made up 19 divisions. One hundred forty thousand guardsmen were mobilized during the Korean War and over 63,000 for Operation Desert Storm. They have also participated in U.S. peacekeeping operations in Somalia, Haiti, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bosnia, and Kosovo as well as for natural disasters, strikes, riots and security for the Olympic Games when they have been in the States.
. . . from "The Silver State" to "Nevada: A Whole Lot of Nothing"
Personally, I enjoyed Nevada's wide open spaces - best star-gazing I've ever experienced.
But in this case, "A Whole Lot of Nothing" is going to make the searcher's jobs pretty difficult - lots of room to get lost out there (something else I enjoyed about my time in Nevada) - forever.

Dumbass.
Anyone who is shocked by this after nearly eight years of Bush and Cheney trampling over the Constitution deserves to be monitored.

I see what you mean. . .
Is this where you search countless configuration and error files looking for the source of your server crash?
I clicked on that link and all I can say is:
OWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

No, but it helps if you want to talk to girls.
Of course, this is a /. party so you won't have to worry about that.
Just take it easy on the Red Bull jello-shots.
One word:
Boobs.
You mean like erections lasting longer than 4 hours?

Good thing this contest isn't a spelling bee, or you'd be waiting for the bus home.

. . . about a local astronomy club?
It could be called "Waiting for NGC 1068" or "This is Thermal Distortion" or "A Mighty Catadioptric."
I threw my Oracle server out the window and while performance didn't approve, my attitude did.
AMMO!
