Aldous Huxley 1962

That's the way it will be though, if it ever comes to a revolution here. All the people that are revolting will legally be allowed to be arrested and persecuted because they're "domestic terrorists".Originally posted by Denny View PostBut this policy combined with the ever-changing definition of a domestic terrorist, most of us are fucked. Fuck that. I'm more of a patriot and a defender of our founding priciples than the fucking cunts that enact these laws.

At the point that the people are actively revolting, habeas corpus can be suspended and anyone the government deems a threat can be detained indefinitely. You can bet they have a naughty list already.Originally posted by StanleyTweedle View PostThat's the way it will be though, if it ever comes to a revolution here.

That website is Frances Fox Piven's stomping grounds.Originally posted by GSRGuy94 View PostAs far as I can tell, this is a non-partisan website;
Barely a month after demanding that the Constitution be read into the Congressional Record, House Republicans voted against a motion to that would have protected against Patriot Act abuses of privacy rights. Then they voted to extend the act's surveillance authorities.
Am I missing something here?
