Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.Martin Luther King Jr.
Theres an ill will blowing across the country. The economy is tanking. The people are directionless, and politics provides no answer. And like former regimes, the militarized police have stepped up to provide a façade of law and order manifested by an overt violence against the citizenry.
Despite the revelations of the past several years, nothing has changed to push back against the American police state. Our freedomsespecially the Fourth Amendmentcontinue to be choked out by a prevailing view among government bureaucrats that they have the right to search, seize, strip, scan, spy on, probe, pat down, taser, and arrest any individual at any time and for the slightest provocation.
Despite the recent outrage and protests, nothing has changed to restore us to our rightful role as having dominion over our bodies, our lives and our property, especially when it comes to interactions with the government.
Forced cavity searches, forced colonoscopies, forced blood draws, forced breath-alcohol tests, forced DNA extractions, forced eye scans, forced inclusion in biometric databasesthese are just a few ways in which Americans continue to be reminded that we have no control over what happens to our bodies during an encounter with government officials. Thus far, the courts have done little to preserve our Fourth Amendment rights, let alone what shreds of bodily integrity remain to us.
Indeed, on a daily basis, Americans are being forced to relinquish the most intimate details of who we areour biological makeup, our genetic blueprints, and our biometrics (facial characteristics and structure, fingerprints, iris scans, etc.)in order to clear the nearly insurmountable hurdle that increasingly defines life in the United States.
In other words, we are all guilty until proven innocent.

SPOT ON... Fascism on parade..
Be nice if most people even knew what Fascism WAS....
THEY DON’T, most could care less.. about Fascism..
Hell most don’t even know that Communism IS socialism or fascism (same thing really)..
AND TRUMP is promising AMERICA will be GREAT AGAIN...
Of course at the cost of more taxes and much bigger federal givernment..
MANY don’t care.. GOVERNMENT and THEM are two different things.. (THEY THINK)...
I doubt many even know what a CABAL is.. and JUNTA is not in their vocabulary..
CRETINS... “en mass” and have no idea what Ted Cruz is saying.. goes right over their heads.. ZOOOM
{TILT}....
Nieces and Nephews... Uncle Sam is a pervert..
AND is the Pimp for Lady Liberty.. sad but true..
The Johns are Crony Capitalists.. lobbyists, lawyers, and Union thuggs.. with some academics(teachers), journalists, and actors..
American elections are indeed Political PORN..
GET USED TO IT -—OR-— Vote for Ted Cruz...
Trump is a customer of the JOHNS...
How long before they boot out Obama in elect some republicans?
Mostly thanks to “war on drugs” (i.e. war on people).
And most people think Snowden is a traitor for telling us what another great big government agency called the NSA is doing.
Abby Hoffman was right! Who knew!
Will it matter?
I think he is a traitor for telling Russia (and others) what the NSA is doing to them.
Snowden didn’t do it right. All or nothing doesn’t cut it. You think the people who died will be honored publicly?
Leila Tarantino was subjected to two roadside strip searches in plain view of passing traffic during a routine traffic stop, while her two childrenages 1 and 4waited inside her car. During the second strip search, presumably in an effort to ferret out drugs, a female officer forcibly removed a tampon from Tarantino. Nothing illegal was found. Nevertheless, such searches have been sanctioned by the courts, especially if accompanied by a search warrant (which is easily procured), as justified in the governments pursuit of drugs and weapons.
It's for the children.
Give me some concrete examples of people who died because of what Snowden told our enemies. And I don’t mean those in Washington.
Uber Nanny State PING!
MANY are sucking at the breasts of the NANNY State like starving PIGS..
Like addicts Jonesing for MORE... more of what?..
More of anything FREE from the Givernment so they don’t have to WORK...
Blacks of course, but far more whites than blacks..
Many are pissed off because the illegals are sucking juice from their SOW...
COULD CARE LESS about country.. totally self absorbed..
My theory is once the parents started spoiling their children(Dr. Spock) they grew up to be liberals.. and some RINOs..
AND the “SPOILED CHILDREN” ARE IN CHARGE NOW..
CLUE: SPOILED CHILDREN GROW UP......... to be adults..
Many seek political office to see what they can STEAL.. or borrow before it is lost(pc)..
Washington D.C. is perfect for that.. the Piggy Bank..
