I tend to be more conservative when it comes to politics.
You might say I’m
usually right.
What the fuck ever retards. You need photo ID (which can be obtained for free) to do virtually anything as an adult. It IS NOT voter suppression to require it to vote in a federal election. The only people this practice actually stops from voting are illegals and dead people, who shouldn’t be voting anyway.
OMG, she is a freaking IDIOT!! She obviously does not know her history! Jim Crow was about keeping the blacks from voting! Dumb Ass, it is not about race! It is about RIGHT and WRONG! You cannot do anything or get anything without a valid photo ID! Like it has been said over and over again….it is about stopping the FRAUD…like Ovomit used to CHEAT his way into the W.H.!! NO MORE DEAD PEOPLE AND ILLEGALS VOTING!!
Yes, she is wrong. Asking that American citizens present photo ID when voting, as they do for most anything else, is in no way conspiratory. If anything, it prevents a great deal of voter fraud, such as the 2214 voters over the age of 110 found in North Carolina, a majority of which were Democrat. As for the Jim Crow laws, she is also misinformed. It was again the Democratic party that was behind the laws. The Republican party originally formed to, in part, work to abolish slavery, and they have continued to be on the same side of the "race" argument since their inception, more or less. However, we can present the facts in a calm and rational manner, and remember that even if a given person proves himself an idiot, he is still a human being and deserves to be treated as such. Let's retain a bit of civility here, please.
Public Education: A True Story....
Yep. The Department of Education has done more to dummy down our kids and turn them into the weak willed zombies that they’ve become for years now. It’s no wonder why they spend 99% of their day staring slack jawed into their cells phones and worshiping the ground of idiot celebrities. Makes them easier to control that way while the money they generate line the pockets of their masters.
Been there, done that. NEVER going to deal with public schools. Again.
Tyranny of the majority. Save the Republic.
but but… Democracy!
I was forced to endure a Michael Moore film the other day in which a professor likened socialism to democracy :P
Democracy can only be a temporary state of government, which eventually devolves either into some form of oligarchy (where a powerful few control the many) or anarchy, where there is mob rule. Anarchy tends to fall back towards an oligarchy as well. Democracy is just a stepping stone to greater government control. It is only when both the people and the government are subject under the rule of law, as in a true Rebuplic, can liberty even hope to exist.
literally goosebumbs.
That last one... I have some customers at my job who are like that, though they'd never say so out right. A few old navy vets... God bless them. I can't even imagine...

THIS
You guys PLEASE. Take five minutes for this, it is your future on the line. THERE IS A REASON YOU HAVEN’T HEARD ABOUT THIS. THE MEDIA WILL NOT COVER IT.
THIS IS UP TO US. SIGNAL. BOOST. THIS. EVERYWHERE.
THE TPPA IS A “TRADE AGREEMENT” BETWEEN THE USA AND OTHER NATIONS THAT GIVES NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY OVER TO CORPORATIONS.
IT LITERALLY MAKES CORPORATIONS MORE POWERFUL THAN GOVERNMENTS, AND THE FIRST THING THEY WILL SHUT DOWN IS INTERNET FREEDOM.
THIS IS NOT TUMBLR HYPERBOLE.
THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT THE TPPA IS.
Any nation that signs the agreement and does not comply with the following regulations can be SUED FOR BILLIONS by any corporation which feels that country is reducing FUTURE profits there. Don’t want fracking in your town? Voted against it? Your vote doesn’t really matter if Exxon can sue your town for 70 billion in lost revenue, does it? Welcome to your future - where not even your government has power against corporations.
THIS IS WHAT THE TPPA IS. IT WILL EXTEND TO EVERY AREA OF LIFE FROM ENERGY TO MEDICINE, AND WILL DO SO WORLDWIDE.
IF THIS PASSES HERE’S WHAT WE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO:
look at the links, but this is a sample:
Internet freedom. Thanks to public rebellion, corporations hoping to lock up and monopolize the internet failed in Congress last year to pass their repressive “Stop Online Piracy Act.” However, they’ve slipped SOPA’s most pernicious provisions into TPP. Corporate-created content, for example, would be given copyright protection for a stunning 120 years!
The deal would also transform internet service providers into a private, Big Brother police force, empowered to monitor our “user activity,” arbitrarily take down our content, and cut off our access to the internet.
To top that off, consumers could be assessed mandatory fines for non-commercial, small-scale copying—like sending your mom a recipe you got off of a paid site.
Jobs. US corporations would get special foreign-investor protections to limit the cost and risk of relocating their factories to low-wage nations that sign onto this agreement. For example, an American corporation thinking about moving a factory would know it is guaranteed a sweetheart deal if it exports to a TPP nation like Vietnam. The corporation could skirt Vietnam’s laws and demand compensation at an international tribunal for any government policy or action (such as a hike in the minimum wage) that undermined its “expected” profits. These guarantees would be strong incentives for corporate chieftains to export even more of our middle-class jobs.
Food safety. Any of our government’s food safety regulations (on pesticide levels, bacterial contamination, fecal exposure, toxic additives, GMOs, non-edible fillers, etc.) that are stricter than “international standards,” as most are, could be ruled as “illegal trade barriers.” Then our government would have to revise our consumer protections to comply with the weaker global standards. Also, our government could no longer ban meat imports that don’t meet our safe-to-eat laws, as long as the exporting nation simply claims that its inspection system is “equivalent” to ours. In addition, food labeling laws we rely on (organic, country-of-origin, animal-welfare approved, GMO-free, etc.) would also be subject to challenge as trade barriers.
Fracking. Our Department of Energy would lose its authority to regulate exports of natural gas to any TPP nation. This would create an explosion of the destructive fracking process across our land, for both foreign and US corporations could export fracked gas from America to member nations without any DOE review of the environmental and economic impacts on local communities—or on our national interests. It also means that most of the gas produced by this violently polluting process will not go to us, but to foreign users, which will raise our consumer prices and cut manufacturing growth.
Drug prices. Big Pharma would be given more years of monopoly pricing on each of their patents and be empowered to block distribution of cheaper generic drugs. Besides artificially keeping everyone’s prices high, this would be a death sentence to many people suffering from cancer, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and other treatable diseases in impoverished lands. The deal would also restrict the rights of our government to negotiate with drug giants to get lower consumer prices with bulk purchases, as Medicare and Medicaid do in the US.
Banksters. Wall Street and the financial giants in other TPP countries would make out like bandits: The deal explicitly prohibits transaction taxes (such as the proposed Robin Hood Tax here) that would shut down super-rich speculators who have repeatedly triggered financial crises and economic crashes around the world; it restricts “firewall” reforms that separate consumer banking from risky investment banking (thus prohibiting Congress from reinstating the much needed Glass-Steagall firewall in our country); it could roll back reforms that governments adopted to fix the extreme bank-deregulation regimen that caused Wall Street’s 2007 crash; and it provides a backdoor escape from national rules that would limit the size of “too-big-to-fail” behemoths. These extreme provisions would be enforceable by the banks themselves—TPP empowers them to force governments either to repeal reform laws or to compensate banks with taxpayer money for “losses” they say are caused by reforms.
Public services. TPP rules would limit how governments regulate such public services as utilities, transportation, and education, including restricting policies meant to ensure broad or universal access to those essential needs. One especially insidious rule says that member countries must open their service sectors to private competitors, which would allow the corporate provider to cherry pick the profitable customers and sink the public service. Also, corporations from any TPP nation must be allowed to bid on contracts to provide public services in the US on the same terms as American corporations.
THIS IS VERY REAL, AND IT IS BEING HIDDEN FROM YOU BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW AWFUL IT IS AND WANT TO PASS IT WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING.
OBAMA WANTS TO FAST-TRACK IT THROUGH HOUSE AND CONGRESS IN OCTOBER WITH NO MEDIA COVERAGE WHATSOEVER.

I’m actually very very very worried about this but I feel I need more information.
This is more important than any Feminist or Men’s Rights issue as far as I’m concerned.

anyone who says communism is bad has only looked at past examples of when it went wrong, and...
I never really bought into the idea that Obamacare would be all that great
Since the government usually just screws things up even more
And it’s not exactly good with money
I didn’t think it had anything to do with me personally
But when I found out that Obamacare...
