    I would say more evil, a corp is a necessary evil, we need them. unions are an unnecessary evil, a parasite even. Think about it, people who run the unions get paid not for owning and running a business creating something, but piggybacking on the back of the people and companies who do

    while this is true, im already getting screwed by my job, i dont feel i should have to pay another bureaucracy for the privilege of working for said job.

    Agreed. taking money out of politics is important, but ensuring term limits would make the money less important. I am with you, I will not be able to support anyone who does not try and get term limits imposed

    well lets look at it like this. The union is nothing but a bureaucracy in the middle of you and your job. As such they exist for the sole reason of making money on their members, So I have to pay money to Group A for the ability to work for group B, all while group A is taking money from my paycheck to spend on their pet projects that I may or may not agree with.

    remove the mandatory union membership for jobs, and let the people keep more of their own money and donate it to the candidates they like, rather than the ones the unions decide on

    while this is true, if it cant be vetted, we need to assume that it is possible to be abused. I assume we wont ever get the source of this device to analyze

    But computer scientist Charlie Catlett said the planners have taken precautions to design their sensors to observe mobile devices and count contact with the signal rather than record the digital address of every device.

    Right, because the software cant be adjusted at a later point to collect that data. And thats not including the fact that it may be a lie to begin with

    "getting something accomplished" is not the job of the federal government. the role of the federal government is to enforce the rules of the constitution. Somewhere in the last 100 years the role of the government changed from uphold the constitution to bribe as many people as possible to bring as much federal money back to ones home district, and keep getting re-elected.

  17. yeah, and where were you when nixon.... or ford..... or (insert any other president here)

    look, pointing to past presidents is all fine and dandy, except when you do it to ignore current corruption, you are not doing anyone any favors. The facts are we live in the now, and in the now the DOJ and the obama admin are the most corrupt our country has ever had

  18. the DOJ hasnt even investigated numerous issues that it should be investigating. Fast and furious for one, oh thats right, holder got to investigate himself, therefore no wrong doing was ever done....

    Did the Obama administration pass the Patriot Act?

    yes, actually he did, he re authorized it making it his now, he could have easily declared it over but instead he kept the power. it is his fault that we still have it

    Did the Obama administration create the secret courts?

    we dont know if he did or not, but we do know he is using them, there is no point in worrying about past presidents abuse when we have a current one abusing power

    Which surveillance laws, exactly, did Obama have passed?

    once again we simply dont know being that the most transparent government is about as transparent as tar, but we do know that under obama surveillance has increased, again this is something that he could have rolled back but didnt

    you are joking right? Detroit is run down due to all the liberals who have been running it for decades. how the hell are you going to blame the GOP for the pitfalls of your state, you cant even blame the republicans OR democrats for the fall of big auto, which is the major reason that your state is falling apart. When an industry "to bigg to fail"...fails, the area is going to turn to shit.

    blaming any party for that is stupid, blaming the GOP when its liberals who run detroit and have for generations now is just simply partisan bullshit
