A Disgusted Rant

While everybody is watching to see what Phil Robertson (I had to look up his last name) is going to do with whatever channel runs that Duck show, Congress continues to quietly and unswervingly strip our rights out from under us.

So Congress has decided it's okay to reduce the benefits our retired veterans receive. This “little” cut is only expected to cost them about $100,000 over the course of their retirement. Now why would anybody be mad about that. It’s expected to save the government 6 billion dollars over the next 10 years.  And in the same breath, our retarded government kisses the asses of 11 million criminals who've entered our country illegally and don’t pay taxes.

I cannot believe that supposedly educated people can be so mindbogglingly stupid.

Oh, yeah.

They passed the National Defense Authorization Act for 2013. And they're pretty much keeping the "indefinite detention" rules for "terrorists" so all anybody has to do is point and yell and the MILITARY can haul you off and keep you FOREVER.

I cannot believe that supposedly educated people can be so mindbogglingly stupid. (This is an intentional repeat.)

Here's what has me really steamed:  Didn’t that kind of thing happen a lot in the good old days of Soviet Russia?  We railed against the former Soviet Union for human rights violations for keeping people in camps and prisons for years.  But, now we’re fighting “The War on Terrorism” so it’s okay for us to do it.

Here’s some good information:

It’s NOT OK!  It’s contrary to the very foundation of the laws of this country.  It is exactly what our founding fathers feared would happen.  It’s happening every day.   And now, because I’ve come out in favor of adherence to the Constitution, I can be labeled a Terrorist.  

When did we become our own enemy?  

So let’s ask this question? Why are we're letting them get away with it?  We should be marching on the palaces of these idiots with pitch forks and flaming torches right now. The fact that we're not shows that we are individuals of considerable restraint or that we're just too damned complacent to do something about it.

So, what are we going to do?

What can we do?

What can I do?

What?
