The Constitution Dies Tomorrow |
 |
Blue America and Color Of Change have this ad (designed by The Seminal!) running in the front page section of the Washington Post today:
Over 200 years ago, we enshrined the rule of law as the only monarch in America. Tomorrow, the Senate will likely vote to shred that precedent. Democrats, “compromising” with Republicans, will act together, in a bipartisan fashion, to destroy your right to be free from search without a warrant. Barack Obama, the politician with the biggest megaphone out there, who said, “To be clear, [I]Â will support a filibuster of any bill that includes retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies,” will likely miss the vote altogether, and will no doubt break his promise and fail to filibuster. And he will vote for final passage on the bill.
After months of fighting, Constitutionalists everywhere will lose this battle to a corrupt establishment in collusion with a lawbreaking president.
We have no choice but to hold them accountable any way we can, through attack ads, primary challenges, and and grassroots activities. On August 8th, the new Accountability Now PAC is hosting a moneybomb to support these accountability efforts. Please mark it on your calendars and donate.
Clearly, giving money to our politicians isn’t solving anything.
KUDOS ALL OF YOU TRYING TO STOP THE ILLEGAL SEARCH SEIZURE LAW THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO PASS… SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM, AND OR STALNISM…??? IF THIS NEW LAW PASSES PROBABLE CAUSE TAKES ON ANOTHER CONNOTATION…LOL (SARCASTICALLY) THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME ON ME FOR NO DAMN REASON…THE CLICK CLICK ON YOUR PHONE MEANS THAT SOMEONE IS LISTENING IN. IF THEY ARE NOT LISTENING ANYWAY GET MY DRIFT…THE UPSTAIRS BETWEEN OUR EARS STILL BELONGS TO US AND THE DEGREE OF PRIVACY THERE MUST ALWAYS BE ENSHRINED AS “PRIVATE”…
SEE YA ALL AND THAT IS ALL
GONE

The Constitution has been assaulted since the day it was written, with the attacks being greatly stepped up in 1913 with the slick passage of the Federal Reserve Act. Then there was the 16th amendment, never sufficiently ratified by the states, and struck down by the Supreme Court repeatedly. WW II and the Korean War era were also times of intense erosion of the Constitution. Prior to the sorriest excuse for a President this nation has ever seen, speaking of the bastard currently in office, the last quarter of the twentieth century managed a stranglehold on our beloved Constitution that we never broke free from. Both parties have been active participants in this from day one.
Since the false flag attack of 9/11 we have seen an unparalleled all out war against everything the Supreme Law of our Land stands for.
There is a quote by Thomas Jefferson that is a favorite of mine (Jefferson was the most brilliant of the founding fathers), but I don’t have it stored on this computer and don’t want to misquote. Paraphrasing, he said that we would never fully appreciate the second amendment until we needed it to fight tyranny. If we don’t develop a massive appreciation for, and use the second amendment NOW we can kiss all hope of a free society goodbye.
I remember another quote from The Gulag Archipelago, which I will also paraphrase, that stated that once the people found themselves hopelessly trapped in the Soviet Gulags they wished that they had every one met the thugs who knocked on the doors late at night with anything remotely resembling a weapon because death would have been better than what they suffered.
Whatever your opinion of firearms is, I suggest that you carefully consider the logic in this. If you wanted to take over a country would you want them armed or defenseless?
I don’t give a damn what kind of law any level of government passes, I will continue to abide by my Constitutionally protected liberties ESPECIALLY the first, second, and fourth amendments. Anything they do to monitor, control, or ban private ownership of ANY firearm or prevent you from taking it with you anywhere you damn well please is illegal, which automatically strikes down every single gun law in the nation.
The Constitution and Bill of Rights don’t need “interpreting,” (aka manipulating). Unless you are severely mentally challenged or totally illiterate it is all black and white, tangible, concrete, absolute, indisputable, and makes perfect sense. Anyone who speaks of their “interpretation” of the Constitution is either an idiot, a would be tyrant, or both.

Jefferson also said: “Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither”
i dont buy into the idea of one mans attempt to achieve absolute power. i truly believe that all of these individuals making decisions have good intentions. i consider this much more dangerous, because they are genuine. they take privacy away in the name of terrorism. guns away in the name of street crime, free speech away in the name of “hate speech”. and it goes on, and all of these people think that they are doing right. what most dont realize is that any kind of legislation, whatever the intentions, is yet another restriction of liberty and likewise a rod for your own back, because in our society you cannot restrict one persons rights without also restricting your own.
at some point everyone will look up from their menial individual fights on morality and security and will realize that they didnt just let their inaliable rights slip through their fingers, they gave them away without a fight, indeed praising those that stripped them.
the terrifying implication is this: when our last remaining rights are pulled from beneath us, where are we to run?
yes that hurts to read

all of them.
“ALL OF THEM!!!”
What do we do? Honestly..what can we do to stop this? There must be something we can do
I’ll tell you what we can do. We harness the power of the Internet Haet Machine. If it learns of these absurdities, I promise you that Obama will not last long.
Take action. Plain and simple. Come up with an idea and put it into action. Do not forget we are one. An organism at war with itself will never win. Our self destruction must be stopped.
SOL
hear hear. we are one. I believe that the internet is the single most powerful tool known to men. We need several groups of powerful hackers to help us in this revolution. We need to warn the people on live TV. Hacking is the key.
You could start by voting those aholes out of office. Each and every one of them.
How bout putting terms on them all so they dont get to comfortable up there in congress and the senate.
If your not satisfied then ask your Senator when does the First Monday in October fall this year. Then ask him when does the First Tuesday after the First Monday in November fall.
Next ask him to prove it and show him NYTimes Thursday July 17 1952 Vol CI No. 34508 and tell him to add up the days until this July 17th 2008 without using any further edition numbers. If he tells you “don’t worry be happy the Constituion goes back into effect on February 29 Wednesday 2012 ” without throwing you out of his office just reply “your point is you are a Republican”. Just make sure you know what day it is when you do.
All Bets Off

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS NEAR!
Glad I’m an expat. Probably will remain one indefinitely now..
Guns are bad. D:
There is no more freedom and there is no more justice. Why aren’t these politicians being impeached? We are stuck here on the bottom of the totem pole and the higher politicians get the greedier they become. America was founded under God. Most people here don’t even believe in what America stood for. I love my country, but we need to remember where we came from. Greed is tearing us apart.
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men
who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors,
and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army;
another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or
hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.
Eleven were merchants,
nine were farmers and large plantation owners;
men of means, well educated,
but they signed the Declaration of Independence
knowing full well that the penalty would be death if
they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and
trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the
British Navy. He sold his home and properties to
pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British
that he was forced to move his family almost constantly.
He served in the Congress without pay, and his family
was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him,
and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer,
Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that
the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson
home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General
George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed,
and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed.
The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying.
Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill
were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests
and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his
children vanished.
So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and
silently thank these patriots. It’s not much to ask for the price they paid.
Remember: freedom is never free!
I hope you will show your support by sending this to as many
people as you can, please. It’s time we get the word out that patriotism
is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer,
picnics, and baseball games.
Revolt. Dissent. Take it to the streets and be heard. We must unite and rise against tyranny, especially when it’s from within. They can’t stop us all…
Seriously, i have been reading articles and watching documentaries but how can an average citizen arm themselves to fight the very system that literally falsely feeds and steals from you?
I am interested in fighting for our Freedoms and our rights. So please someone tell me where to educate myself of the truth. (websites,videos,etc).
fascism has never been so obvious
The erosion won’t stop until Congress stops picking voters.
Think about it: approval ratings in the low teens, while 94% of seats are still considered ’safe’. It’s been a long time since these people felt any real or direct accountability to the majority of their constituents.
But how does this happen? How can they get so disconnected? The answer is gerrymandering, which is the absolute root of all the evil we’re facing. See here for details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrymandering
The Constitution anticipated people like Bush and Cheney. It did not anticipate ‘opposition’ like Pelosi, Reid, and now Obama.
We have all been separated. We have all been placed asunder. They do not think we count. They underestimate us. They think we are all stupid. Are we? Do these things really need to happen? Is this all fate? Do we have a say? What can we do about it? Are we really that powerless? Being so many are we really that powerless? If we do not ask your selves these questions every day then what are we? If we do not ask our selves these things then who is truly a patriot? For those who have a say make sure your voice is heard. Make sure you say something that has meaning and you back up what you say. We live in a special time be sure to understand that. The fate of the world is literally in our hands. Lets not drop the ball.
You are an idiot, sir.
Just because the constitution says you’re allowed to have guns (for the express purpose of forming militias, by the way), doesn’t mean it says that you can take a gun anywhere you want to.
Yeah, the first amendment guarantees freedom of speech, but it’s still illegal to shout “FIRE” in a crowded movie theater.
While I support the recent victory for constitutionalism, just because it says you’re allowed to have guns in the constitution doesn’t mean you immediately have permission to carry fully-automatic .50-calibur machineguns around in public. Get a clue.
I’m going to buy a gun while I still can.
@Mark Earhart
I’m not sure about the Jefferson quotation, but there is a Franklin quotation that says fundamentally the same thing:
“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”
No, the Constitution died when the rights of U.S. citizens were conferred upon enemy combatants held in a prison on foreign soil.
Even the Washington Post thinks the issue is overblown:
It is true, as Mr. Feingold suggested, that Americans%u2019 communications with parties overseas could be monitored without any showing of cause %u2014 but it is true, as well, that such warrantless monitoring is permitted under the original FISA so long as the collection is done overseas. In addition to the extra protections for Americans abroad, the special FISA court would have to approve the targeting and minimization procedures involving domestic surveillance to ensure that they are consistent with the Fourth Amendment and the law. In addition, the measure prohibits so-called %u201Creverse targeting%u201D %u2014 using the authority to intercept foreign communications without an individual warrant if the real purpose is to spy on a %u201Cparticular, known person%u201D in this country. This hardly seems unfettered.
A Constitutionalist or Libertarian sounds good to me this year. Don’t let the media manipulate you either. You notice they rarely speak about the Constitution and Libertarian Parties. Makes one wonder why the media forces candidates in our faces who obviously don’t give a rat’s hiney about this once great nation.
Jane, Bob Barr is starting to poll in double digits already in some states. He was only nominated late in April so that is amazing.
Anyone who was a board member of the NRA… AND a privacy consultant to the ACLU is worth a look in my book.
McCain didn’t vote on the FISA bill and Obama voted yes. Bush got what he wanted so he will sign it.
Not only is Barr your best bet, You should also check out Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty and check with your local Libertarian Party to see if you can help get a liberty-oriented candidate elected to Congress.
Don’t forget when it comes to Barr as Presidential candidate, he would have the power to appoint Supreme Court Justices too. I was at the LP Convention in Denver, and I might be getting confused, but I think Barr said he would appoint Libertarian Judge Jim Gray or ask his opinion. We need some more libertarian Justices. As seen in the Kelo case on eminent domain and many others, the court has too many statists now.
Just to make sure no one is misinformed. Ron Paul and Bob Barr are two whole different animals. Ron Paul is more constitutionalist that libertarian. Barr tries to be libertarian sometimes. All I am saying is don’t think just because you like Paul you will like Barr. Look at his political position before you cast a ballot!
Why are you afraid of someone listening to an overseas phone call made to you from a suspected Islamic terrorist - or to a call you make to a suspected Islamic terrorist?
This is what the law is about.
This law, along with taking the battle TO the terrorists, has kept you miraculously safe from a 2nd attack for 7 years.
Again, why would you be opposed to anti-terrorism security?
I’m not afraid of someone listening to my phone calls, I’m afraid of the loss of my civil liberties. The patriot act is an assault of a person’s right to privacy and civil liberties, liberties (in other words freedoms) that this country was founded on. Anti-terrorism security is a fear campaign that you have obviously lapped up, it is a fear campaign designed to scare Americans into letting the government do whatever it wants. I would be fine if they were only using these measures to listen in upon “suspected terrorists” making “overseas phone calls” but you and I both know this is not the case. Do you really think anti-terrorism security is the sole reason we have not been attacked? The first attack on the World Trade center was in 93, the second in 2001, these things take time and you should pinch yourself if you think the government has halted anything. While normal Americans are being strip searched in airports, terrorists can just walk over the boarder like an illegal immigrant with no problem. It’s funny that you think we are safe because we are “taking the battle to the terrorists” while our main focus is in Iraq which had nothing to do with the attacks. The government should secure the boarders instead of listening in on Americans phone calls!
Show me how it has stopped it. In at least one real instance.
We had supposed knowledge that 9/11 was going to occur, but we doubted it would happen. So we said “Ah! Were fine.”
Prove both points wrong and I will say the patriot act has helped. However, it is still a violation of my right to privacy to look at my phone calls, emails, faxes, or any other data ever.
there MUST be something. for even those who destroy this country dont understand what they do. how can we MAKE THEM SEE? any ideas see me at ddosterschill@gmail.com

While the story struck me, as it will everyone, I calmed down enough to think. The government can basically do whatever the hell it wants, what if the attack on the fourth amendment is fake? Everyone gets juiced up and emotional, the hardcore constitutionalists militarize and revolt to be cut down in a hail of gunfire. The government twists the story, we have terrorists in our country, they use this twisted tale to evaporate the rest of the constitution.
Rebellion would be playing directly into their hands, any effort against them they can twist and play off to the stupid majority in their own favor. America hasn’t been America for a long, long time, and we’re sinking further. I take the coward’s way out: I plan to leave when bad goes to worse, while I still have the chance (they’ll inevitably ban everyone from leaving the country.) To where? Sweden is nice, and from my research they appear to have the smartest government. They’re actually moving FORWARD, unlike everyone else on this sorry little planet (even Japan is doing backflips now, damned “Americanization”. By escaping, you give them one less person to oppress, and less tax money to fund their efforts.
We’ve never truly been the “Land of the Free”, that’s the oldest lie in this country, we just build on the lie as time passes. America is a dream, and it’s getting close to time to wake up. Every day, republicans move closer to fascism while democrats move closer to socialism. If you want to ride this mess into the ground, I say pick a side and stick with it. You can’t stop a runaway train with your hands, either get out of the way or hop on.
You sound just like a GunFaggot.
Why don’t you move to Saddle River NJ and take a few singing lessons buddy.

You obviously do not understand that Nixon was using the spy power he had in the 70’s to dig-up dirt and attack political rivals. It was this polititzation and abuse of power that was the problem. The answer was implementation of the FISA court and judicial review, to protect the American people from further political abuse.
Realizing that this administration politicizes even the hiring of lowly DOJ interns, realizing that the Bushies broke the FISA laws from the outset, a lot of the American people think that giving them expanded spying power is simply psychotic in nature.

It couldn’t be any worse…If in the next election we voted for one of the many other congressional candidates who are not Republicans or Democrats. States who don’t allow you to vote outside your registered party and so have your vote tied in, will have to allow people to change parties or just register as Independent.
what good is a gun under marshall law?..ask any iraq kid what a trigger happy teen on a humvee can do with an m-19 or 50 cal.;dream on old people…it’s all over but the crying..if voteing changed any thing they’ed outlaw it!;its been that way for ever.
It is inconceivable that the Dems would cave, yet again, to an prez with a 23% approval rating…with 117 days until the general election…with the Forth amendment on the line…
What were they thinking?
All the Dems voting for the FISA bill should be tossed…no question about that.
“There’s something happening here
What is is, ain’t exactly clear.”
And not a single senator rose to filibuster this bitch?
No, they did, they were just stopped by a cloture vote.
Spineless, all those cloture-voting bastards.
I suppose the courts are our last line of defense in this. And if the courts rule against this egregious violation of the Constitution, does that mean we can try the members of Congress who voted yes on this for high treason? That’d be fun.
Did anyone see the article in http;//www.pravda.ru
It was headlined “The Cigarette That Could End The World”
March 13 thru 17 2008 searchable.
Did you know that one cigarette can kill hundreds of thousands of people? And has on more then one occasion.
Did you know that the ongoing joke is “and I can prove it”?
And you say the US has lost it freedoms?

Is this really happening in USA?
Yes, it is.
I suggest that all of us learn to exercise our Second Amendment rights in order to protect our First Amendment rights.
Might I suggest Naomi Wolf’s “End of America”? These actions are not simply movements by a cowardly Congress or an idiotic president, but are a pattern imitated by aspiring tyrants.
Let’s arm ourselves and others while we still can fight this in the public forum.
