Well? Patriont act? Obama care? All of the above?
-
Patriot Act?
-
Yep... definitely the Patriot Act....
-
The recent (3days old) NDAA.
If someone can be detained indefinitely without charges if suspected of terrorist I think our entire national political system has just signed their own arrest warrants.
Fuck the. Vote anti incumbent.

We could do that anyway. This just makes it more famous, make people more aware of it, and makes it easier to do to people who are rich and/or famous.

I dunno. In fact I don't have the slightest clue about Amercian politics. Should i?

:agreed:
It's the end of due process in our legal system. All the governmnet has to do is accuse you of terrorism and you're done.

God forbid you exercise your free speech or freedom to assemble.
A voice of dissent can fuck you.
We the corporations of the united states.....

We the military complex infrastructure of the united states.....
Honestly, fuck us. Tell people if they ask that I am Canadian.

Nah, not worth it. Only reason why I had to know something about US politics these days is because one of my brothers is being a pest about Ron Paul and giving me shit for not taking him seriously.

Both the NDAA and the Patriot Act are a disgrace
-
Just wait for SOPA.
After that is passed we won't be able to get the truth.

Ought he be taken seriously. I had a quick look on Youtue and to the complete laymen (me) he sounded pretty reasonable. Accent was making him hard to follow a little though
-
As it stands today, Ron Paul will be getting my vote next year. He will likely be running independent ot libertarian.
-
I am beginning to wonder if my brother in law had the right idea in moving to Canada but then again they have their own fucked up laws

Obamacare is too because it's the first time that the government got so arrogant as to require that people buy something for merely existing.

How so??

I don't feel comfortable with Ron Paul as commander-in-chief.
He doesn't seem to have a firm grasp of foreign policy.
His isolationist attitudes are founded in naivete.

Doesn't matter who's in office. Politicians are marionettes.

Agreed. Bloody naive. And isn't really as rational as he makes himself out to be.
He is a creationist after all.

"We the People"? Sounds socialist.

Kiss internet freedom goodbye along with google, youtube, facebook and basically anything indirectly/directly hosting "copyrighted material" if that passes.

Because it doubles as the ultimate censorship tool. Here's the thing, there's always a guaranteed chance that someone will post something copyright infringing. SOPA goes further than DMCA and makes it a criminal felony to host or even link to copyrighted material without permission of it's owners.
This would in a sense allow corporations/governments to shut down websites or even take legal action those who criticize them and the website hosting the content as well. Since critics tend to use logos, symbols, images, texts of their target, all they need to do is find one tiny thing that's not ironclad covered by fair use to take you down.
This would essentially shut down or ruin sites like Google, Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, anything that risks having copyrighted material posted (like a image from your favourite show) on it by an unauthorized party (as in you, the user). They would have to filter everything posted/queried on their sites to avoid themselves being financially isolated, held criminally liable or be blocked on a ISP level.
This can be used to even shut down or force heavy self-censorship on messageboards like here, WP, AFF, etc. So it's very, VERY bad news.
And one last thing, it will affect international traffic too, so if you let's say routing through the US to access something in Canada that's blacklisted in the U.S ISP infrastructure (as the domain registrar is in the US), the route will not resolve and you'll be blocked from accessing that site. So Americans shouldn't be the only ones worried about this.
The only methods of evasion would be knowing the direct IP address of the site, or somehow re-route data so it never enters the US at any point. If the site is within the U.S you're screwed.
