Say goodbye to any and all freedoms if you live in the US.

Drones over U.S. get OK by Congress - Washington Times
Fucking piece of shit Congress.

Disappointing, but simply going with the trend.

Will there be a day when chips/ bar codes are inserted into us shortly after birth? Definitely see it coming for sure.

What was that saying, 'land of the free'?

Hey, it's just like we vote on something, is passes and then some higher court shoots it down saying it's unconstitutional. Then why do we vote on things? I'm losing faith in our system of democracy.

Rather than voting in decent politicians, we've been electing people who'd normally be locked up in mental asylums if it weren't for the medical community coming out with excuses for bad behavior and irrational thinking every damn day.

I really hope Citizens United gets overturned. It will really help keep these people with only goals of bettering their financial position out of our government.

The population has been dumbed down, fortunately some people are waking up. The game has always been rigged. Those congressmen are a very small fraction of people who are controlled by the elites. Moreover I believe a lot of people have been blackmailed and bribed in order to do what they do best - suppressing the masses and giving you people an illusion of freedom - and even that is fading away, fast.

Start killing some fuckers already.

47 Million people on food stamps, and we now have the highest ratio ever of people on some form of government assistance, 44% pay no income tax at all. The top 10% pay 60% of taxes. Is it any wonder that Democrats are voted into office? With the dems voting in a block and all the illegal aliens and dead people voting for leftists the working people are becoming enslaved to the state. Once a population has discovered that it can vote itself more government handouts it's all over but the shouting --or is it the shooting?

It's best to not listen to the bullshit you hear on the news. Most of the time it's incorrect information.

By the way, I'm on food stamps ($200 a month...yeah, that really helps), been unemployed for almost two years through no fault of my own, was kicked off of unemployment because of the great governor of Florida doing unconstitutional things, have taken in less than $15,000 TOTAL in the past two years, and I pay a higher tax percentage than most of the top 10%.

I hope you enjoy being enslaved by the states at my expense. Do you think people really chose to live in poverty?

This isn't a thread for you to come in and start bashing one side or another, don't turn it into one.

Edit: Oh, and by the way, this was pushed through by the Republicans/Tea Party members in Congress, not the "lefties" you like to villainize.

This is horrifying. Alas, we pay the price for being asleep at the wheel for 30 fucking years.
