Declaration of War

In the Senate this week, what is known as the National Defense Authorization Act was passed. After going through the 925 page bill (along with the Patriot Act and our continuing censorship), I can now say with confidence, we are a fascist nation.

I have already spoken about my loss of confidence in our democracy, but this law is ridiculous. The law says that someone the government says is “a member of, or part of, al-Qaida or an associated force” can be held in military custody “without trial until the end of the hostilities authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force.”  It completely tosses the 6^th amendment out the window and tears apart the 14^th amendment where we are promised due process and equal protection under the law.

I haven’t even mentioned the worst part. With the addition of Amendment 1068 of the NDA Act, Obama’s executive order banning torture will be removed. So not only will any suspected “terrorist” be taken into custody without a trial, they can be tortured. No one can say it better than Shepard Smith, “I don’t give a rats ass if it helps, this is America, we do not f&*%ing torture!”

The way this country is going is truly sickening. I cannot stand it any longer. It angers me so much that it has become difficult to even articulate the facts. I want to just say “F&*%” and have everyone be informed enough to know how I feel. But that’s the problem isn’t it. We have become so comfortable in our existence that we are letting our freedoms be taken one by one. This is no longer the land of the free and the home of the brave. We have become the land of the bullies and home to the slaves. We need to wake up. Open your eyes and see what is happening. War has been declared upon us and, sadly, we are losing.
