    Default Freedom called .........

    It said "that's it, I'm outta here"

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_war_pr...pphu-container

    I knew this would happen when we did this. He says blah, blah, protest. then our citizens get arrested for Peaceful assembly.

    When the american protest grows big enough they will use violence against us. Just as he demanded Libya to stop.

    What's good for the goose, will shut the gander the fuck up.
    Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Holy shit? The US Army shot and killed those protestors in front of the White House? We attacked them with mortar fire and F111's?

    No?

    Then why are we comparing arrest of a Daniel "Traitor" Eisenberg to the killing of women and children in Libya? Remind me again how arrest for refusing a lawful order is the same as the military killing women and children?

    not yet.

    I'm sure the mideast protests started semi peacefully. Besides I don't think I was comparing the two, but where does it stop. When do the "lawful Orders" stop or begin. Who would be Mildly upset if a "lawful order" shut down this site.
    Although I don't agree with the protest of the arrest of Brad Retard manning. It just seems they don't like what we (americans) have to say.

    Ok, I'll say it. We (the USA) don't want Libya to fall. We are only attacking them tonight because (in my opinion) the UN moved faster than we thought they would. Given a choice, Obama would (rightfully) let him kill all his civilians, and I can't fault the logic in letting him do so. It might be the asshole thing to do, but it would be in the best interests of the US to let Mommar stay in control.

    Remember folks, 60% (and up to 80% by some reports) of the foreign fighters in Iraq are either SA's or Libyan. We saw what happens when we overthrow a dictator who can keep his people under his thumb. Without knowing how Egypt will turn out, why risk letting Libya go leaderless for a few years?


    But, back to the point on the White House protestors. This is no different than the arrests of the protestors in WI over the past few weeks. When the cops tell you to clear out, clear out. If you don't then you get 3 squares and a cot for a while.

    I didn't cry when Cindy Nutbag staged an arrest, and I won't cry over these dirty hippies either.

    You should care. This a constitutional issue at hand. I could care less what they are protesting, be it war, funerals, or popsicles. Assembly is a right. Not a right you, me or anyone else has to agree with. Getting a permit to assembly is along the lines of a FOID card in IL. Its restricting rights of us, the american people so that the powers that be can decide who is "worthy" of said rights.

    Who would be mad if they searched everyone on I-25 for Bombs to prevent terrorism?

    We can't have it both ways we either follow the constitution to the T, or not. We can't circumvent it to our convenience, that's how we get GOV ran healthcare or Assault weapons bans, illegal search and seizures, and restricting freedom of speech because a few don't like it. Or worse people don't care.

    Rant off.

    Having spent a year in Iraq dealing with the detained foreign fighters and con-airing their sorry asses back to their home countries, I can say the majority were Iranian, followed by Syrian and Egyptian. There even was a British born muslim there that the Brits took control of. It was funny to hear a British accent coming from that guy, who was in compound with a number of other, different countried people. As for Libyian? Might have been one or two, but definitely a minority amount compared to other countries.

    Fixed it for you

    and in Case you have forgotten due to state media influences
    Hint: it's the first one.
    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
    Yeah, I didn't see "pay a state sanction tax" or "apply for permit" anywhere in there.

    One thing so many subjects, I mean Citizens, are forgetting is that the Bill of rights is 24/7/365. Its not "only when its convenient" or "Whenever the state says it's OK"
    INALIENABLE

    convenience quote:
    in·alien·able

    adj
    \(ˌ)i-ˈnāl-yə-nə-bəl, -ˈnā-lē-ə-nə-\
    Definition of INALIENABLE

    : incapable of being alienated, surrendered, or transferred <inalienable rights>

    in·alien·abil·i·ty \-ˌnāl-yə-nə-ˈbi-lə-tē, -ˌnā-lē-ə-nə-\ noun

    Origin of INALIENABLE

    probably from French inaliénable, from in- + aliénable alienableFirst Known Use: circa 1645



    So, With all of that I ask you this:

    Can any officer of the state/Union lawfully give an order that violates, restricts or removes a an inalienable right granted under the U.S Constitution?

    Lawfully violating the amendments of the constitution?

    just a thought
    Maybe one of the reasons the government is so hot to prevent protesting and make it unlawful is because thats all we do (as americans ) . The rest of the world has been waiting for us to act . If all we do is protest and try to get bills passed then its no wonder they keep stripping our rights away .
    They do something we dont like and then distract us with a shiny ball just to do something else we dont like , just to show use another shiny ball .
    People say vote to change and then you ask them who they voted for . The usual answer is "the lesser of 2 evils " .Correct me if im wrong , isn't a vote for the lesser of two evils still a vote for evil ?? If your neighbor or employer took something , taxed you or changed the rules as often as our government dose , what would you do ? You would quit that job or go fight that person responsible ect . the point im trying to make is unless people are willing to stop voting for scumbags and get out there and physically stand up for what they believe in more and of this will happen .

    I think ideas like organized open carry day are great (although if something goes to wrong ,like a shooting, were all screwed!!! ) . they say you have to regester your guns in maryland , i move . they say you cant hardly look at a gun in California , ill never live there . Yes like most folks id rather not get into it with the government , but if there are enough people backed into a corner ill bet we see some nasty change . Its too bad that its coming to that , but with a bad economy and more rules , nothing good can come of it .
