Who are we kidding? You can wipe your a** with the Constitution, because it means nothing next to the War on Whatever We Want to Control Because It's for the Children Against the Terrorists.
The government is going after one "fruitloop" at a time, until there's no one who will dare to raise arms against them. "Reasonable" people aren't going to take arms against the government, we can't get the b***ards voted out because another will take their place, and you can't be sure that what they say to get elected has a damn thing to do with what they do when they get to Washington.
Kharaku pointed out that they're taking everything away--and I understand his use of hyperbole, but I'm not so sure it's hyperbole. They can take your house. They already take your money before you see it. And now, spying on you and counting your guns is supposed to be something called The PATRIOT Act?
Maybe a new Independence Day is called for. Since even DUers can see that the eminent domain is a nightmare waiting to happen, maybe this is the time for an economic strike--no one works for a day, no one spends money for a couple of days. Would that attract attention? Will the PTB listen then?
I don't know what there is to do--voting is no guarantee, and I really don't see a time when we're going to form a militia--not that we'll have guns to fight with, or the right to assemble to even discuss it.
It can only get worse if we don't take some kind of action.

As for the diminishing BoR, this is what it was supposed to do......
A lot of people thought Putin was crazy to dare call the US on exactly how democractic we are when the world started grumbling about rights in Russia. Fact is he's just been following the US' lead in this kind of thing. The minute the US used terrorism as an excuse to expand rights of law enforcement having nothing to do with terrorism Putin chimed in with eliminating free election of governors, and enhancing the government's support of the Russian church at the expense of protestants and Islam.
What's PTB?
