But understand that Hillary will win the election, your vote is futile and the class, race, gender and sexuality war will continue while the true loss of freedoms will continue.
But once again, so is your vote. If McCain would have won he would have done almost everything that has gone down under Obama (save Obamacare). If Romney would have won he wouldn't have stopped Obamacare from being enacted, it was unstoppable by that point. Both would have continued this high spending, high deficit crap that has been going on since Reagan (save a couple years under Clinton).
Quote:It's funny how people who are concerned with stuff like the NSA, drug war etc, and talk about losing freedoms are the first to get duped into Marxist tactics like the garbage that takes place in the NFL and NBA.
It is funny that the Republicans who complain about this now never complained about it under Bush when the same things were going on. I have kept a consistent view from day 1, the Patriot Act is nothing but an attack on our rights as citizens and it needs to be repealed.
Quote:A man lost everything because he had a private conversation. That is a the ultimate loss of freedom. That will continue.
That was done by a private organization and would have happened whether Obama was President or Romney. You always try to attach that to the Democrats but fact of the matter is that this happens in private organizations every day. This is just a higher profile case of it.
Quote:Your idea of cutting big spending is reducing the size of the military. No thanks.
My idea is to cut the ridiculous waste we have in our military (which is probably the most inefficient in the world), reform welfare (as I said in the other thread, mandidatory birth control if you can't afford to pay for yourself and your kids now), and remove Obamacare (not doable, so reform it to a more satisfactory situation, whatever that may be).
I'd also eliminate the corporate income tax, but raise capital gains tax to match your income tax bracket. No more CEOs getting $20M in compensation but taking $19M of it in stock options so they only get taxed at 15% upon the time they sell them. If you got $20M in compensation, you are going to pay taxes on $20M of income.
