All day today.
Yeah, let’s worship the guy who drone bombs men, women, and children, all day errday. He’s so awesome!
I really hope a new para-military political force enters the fray - Stoner Militias - and that a new civil war kicks off. Here is how I see it playing out:
Washington and Colorado establish legal marijuana dispensaries of some kind. Armed DEA teams attempt to raid them. Stoners show up armed to the teeth to resist. You have a Boston Massacre type scenario, and then you have all the “fringe” groups - libertarians, anarchists, OWS, actual Tea Party members who aren’t just neocons in disguise, communists, socialists - they all band together to form a coalition of dissidents and revolutionaries, similar to what you saw during the Spanish Civil War, who want to topple the tyrannical federal monster that has evolved from the experiment in limited government the founders employed.
From there, the Federal Government will try to mobilize the Police State, but cops in Colorado and Washington have to uphold their own state laws, so no go there. Then they’ll call the National Guard, or maybe the f’ing Marines, but those boys have all sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic - pretty sure that biggest enemy to our Constitution is the federal government. Check and mate, bitches. Check and mate.
Anybody else think the electoral college is a fucking travesty? Seriously, how can anyone defend the electoral college? Try it, please. I’m actually curious to see how anyone can defend it.
On the bright side, we get to listen to neocons bitch and whine for 4 more years. Let me taste your big fat statist tears.
Someone please tell me all about how Obama cares about our civil liberties?
The Supreme Court on Monday heard oral arguments in Clapper v. Amnesty International, a case which will determine whether or not the government’s warrantless surveillance of American citizens can be challenged in court, even when the specifics of the program are secret.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was enacted by Congress in the 1960s and 70s and regulates the government’s conduct of intelligence surveillance inside the United States. In 2001 – following the 9/11 attacks – President Bush illegally authorized the National Security Agency to launch a warrantless wiretapping program, in breach of FISA “and in 2008 Congress ratified and expanded that program, giving the NSA almost unchecked power to monitor Americans’ international phone calls and emails,” the ACLU explains.
Court challenges to the government’s new surveillance laws have come forth since 2001, but the government has typically stopped the judicial process in its tracks, arguing that the case cannot proceed because aspects of the program must remain secret for national security reasons and that plaintiff’s don’t have “standing” to challenge the law unless they know for sure they have been surveilled.
FOUR MORE YEARS! OBAMA 2012!
“But, but Obama ended the war in Iraq!”
Apart from the fact the troop drawdown was on the Bush timeline and the Iraqis denied an extension of our Status of Forces Agreement (which basically provides our troops immunity from war crimes prosecution), we built the largest, most expensive “embassy” in history in Iraq, as well as 3 gargantuan, permanent military bases. We’re not ever leaving Iraq. We came for the oil, we’re staying for the oil.

I’m so fucking sick of mindless statists bleating their support for Obama with not the slightest fucking clue of how A) he’s the same president Romney would be, B) he’s a war criminal and a terrorist, and C) the president has fucking NOTHING to do with abortion or gay marriage or the economy. Read the fucking Constitution and understand how the federal government is supposed to function, and pay attention to independent journalists to learn how it actually functions, you fucking brainwashed sheeple stooges. Fuck.
Three years ago, Mitt Romney proposed a constitutional amendment which would have barred his current running mate from the presidency. All politicians are: A) Corrupt statist drones B) Think you are an idiot C) Yes.
House Gives Obama More Leeway To Abuse Constitution
UPDATE: The House passed the legislation Tuesday night by a vote of 261-116. The bill now goes to President Obama’s desk for his signature.
The House of Representatives is set to consider legislation Tuesday that would exempt certain presidential appointees from having to be confirmed by the Senate.
But a number of conservative groups are arguing that the “Presidential Efficiency and Streamlining Act” amounts to Congress neutering itself and giving the executive branch unprecedented power.
Presidential appointees that would no longer require Senate confirmation under the legislation include the treasurer of the United States and the deputy administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration.
“The United States Constitution does not bestow kingly powers on the President to appoint the senior officers of the government with no process,” wrote Thomas McClusky, the senior vice president for the Family Research Council’s legislative arm, in a Monday memo to lawmakers.
Sources told The Daily Caller that there is concern in the ranks among conservatives opposed to the legislation that House leaders will bring the legislation up for a voice vote to avoid putting members on the record.
Why do we still pretend that the constitution even matters anymore?
