Over this past decade our Supreme Court has proven a propensity for anything but supreme performance. Today’s news infringement on our rights continues to put this country closer and closer to a serious backlash. In case you missed it the court has decided that the police can arrest you under false pretenses, then search you against your will, and anything they find that might be illegal or suspect can be submitted as evidence against you. It used to be called Illegal Search & Seizure, now it’s called OK.
So, a quick review of some of their other more stellar rulings have been:
1. The police are no longer required to announce themselves before kicking in your door and taking you by force (commonly called arrest).
2. The police can stop you under false pretence, search you against your will, and hold you accountable for anything they find (or plant?) on you.
3. And some years ago the accepted Double Jeopardy rule was tossed out so you can now be tried by BOTH the state and the federal government and convicted by both, sentenced separately, and required to serve both sentences … back to back if they so decide.
Years ago, when I was in college, we had required reading about certain historical events and the treatment of citizens, prisoners, that “undesireables”. I’m wondering at what point your political affiliation will be used to determine when your rights are suspended or promoted? Please don’t tell me it can’t happen; all the above situations were explained the same way years ago and look where we are today.
By the way, prior to reading this blog you were supposed to submit your Social Security Number, Checking Account Numbers, Credit cards, and attractive teenage daughters …. Oh, you didn’t know that? PIG! Up against the wall; give me your papers; you want a lawyer? HA! Don’t bother, who the heck do you think comes up with these laws anyway?
Stallage [enter your state name] may not be very far away; oh yeah, and did you happen to notice that the Supreme Court is also debating your right to have a firearm right now? And you thought there were no conspiracies in this country…………….

Back in "the olden days" didn't we consider this kind of stuff "fascist" or "communist" tactics?  Didn't this country used to be fighting against this kind of society and authority/control?
Either the U.S. or I took a wrong turn somewhere along the corridor of "progress and freedom".

National I.D., searches on demand, police with machine guns, prisoner camps, torture, the attempted takeover of America by what was and is called 'The New World Order (fascism).
Back in the 80's to around 2001 we were called 'conspiracy theorists'.
Today, we're called rebels, dissidents, patriots and by our government in some cases 'dangerous to security'..
The world does turn does'nt it?
By the way, "Welcome To The Revolution'.

This is just a sample of right-wing conservative rethuglicans at work! You will always see the poor man and disenfranchised getting the stick while the rich walk off with apologies intact!
More and more everyday we see the age old saying meaning.....money talks and bullsh*t walks!
I for one am not going to tolerate my rights being stepped on by right-wing bible packing nut-cases!
Thank You for allowing me to rant on your blog! I apologize if I have offended you in anyway!

This won't affect me or anyone that I know because we have nothing to fear of our gov't. We pay our taxes on time (reasonably fair I might add), we have served (some still do) and we have no criminal history (and do not contemplate criminal activity).

The Revolution was televised; it was on Fox News.
All the while we sleepwalk into a police state; it's no better in Britain either.
What happened to all the protests?
What happened to all the angry young men?
We all have something to fear, even if we pay our taxes, don't break laws. Wake up fool.

"None are so hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free. The truth has been kept from the depth of their minds by masters who rule them with lies. They feed them on falsehoods till wrong looks like right in their eyes."

What happened to all the protests?
Well, in my part of Oregon there are still protests...In Eugene and Florence you can
see protests for peace all the time...It's just not in the news. But, then Oregonians
are known for being different.
