The newly signed law in this link is a severe loss of freedom of expression and could be used to completely abridge the 1st Amendment before it is all over. Some will blame Obama for this but he only signed HB 347 after the House and the Senate passed it. Is this an extension of the Homeland Security Act or is it just an abridgment of our rights done by Congress and the Constitution?

Sorry early readers. I screwed up with the link. It is right for this post now. Enjoy.



Obama Makes Free Speech A Felony - YouTube
Un. Fricken. Believable.

WTH did 52% of the people vote in?

This is, without a question, a TOTAL violation of our 1st Amendment Rights.

Add this one to that other thread, "If I Wanted America To Fail..." Yah, take away their $&*#@! RIGHT to free speech, NO LAW shall be made that abridges our free speech. NO! LAW! NONE! ZERO!

Forcing us to buy health care, deciding "no free speech zones", threatening war with Iran, massive unemployment, high prices all around, NDAA...OMG, the list goes on.

That POS is trying to destroy this country. I firmly believe this now.

Homeland Security has become the excuse for abridgment of all manner of rights (remember the domestic surveillance controversy? Bugging citizens' phones and internet use). It's just like BACK in the , "BACK in the, BACK IN THE USSR", as the Beatles crooned. "Enemies within, enemies without" was the justification for all manner of domestic surveillance and curtailment of rights, there. Coming soon, to a democracy near you.

How many threads must we have on this non-issue?

The truth about that new law has been posted multiple times, but who cares about that when there's an opportunity to get mad and indulge in another round of conspiracy fears?

We have the Coliseum ready and waiting here in LA. Perfect for feeding failed politicians to the Lions. Tickets at Ticketron and Ticket Masters

I can tell where you would have ended up, had you lived in Germany in the 30s.
