Why are we living in a world where nazi'ism - something which millions of people fought and died to prevent - is seen as a belief and allowed to even occur? Why weren't the police beating the shit out of the neo-nazis?

I couldn't give a shit about bleeding heart politically correct 'people are free to practice what they wish'. Fuck em and the horse they rode in on. I'm proud of being open minded and accepting of different viewpoints (even if i mouth off at things for my own amusement a lot of the time), but even i wish death on all of those bald cunts.

Edit:
To answer my first question, probably because you'd rather have them visible than underground and hidden. Keep your friends close, etc.

Go anarchists.

If a terrorist attack occurs that could've been prevented by waterboarding intel from a captive, all blame goes to the American people who elected Obama who selected a bureaucrat for a job requiring different and specific experience.


Wiki on torture:
One well documented effect of torture is that, with rare exceptions, people will say or do anything to escape the situation, including untrue "confessions" and implication of others without genuine knowledge, who may well then be tortured in turn. That information may have been extracted from the Birmingham Six through the use of police beatings was counterproductive because it made the convictions unsound as the confessions were worthless.

This is why its not been used prior to bush and co. seeing how sucessful it is on 24. Cause its utterly fucking worthless, provides unsound intel, and can lead to false arrests and misallocation of resources chasing an endless rabbit hole of trails.

JACK BAUER IS NOT A REAL DUDE!!

Using justification of 9/11 from 7 years ago has allows the US Govt to "clean house" of everything in the constitution that has made life hard for them to rule as a dictator ship.

This bill closes the door on all those things that have annoyed them, mass protests and rallys, the anti-war movements, the protests against police beating the crap out of people, fighting to win equality, fighting for women to get the vote.

They'll never have to worry about the people forcing the govt to do anything ever again. They wont even need the courts or trials. They can just lock all protesters up as illegal combatants and throw away the key.

When GWB declares emergency powers before the election and takes control, and the people eventually demand he resume elections - well he'll say those people are attacking the govt in a time of need and lock them all up.

It's a bit of a *long video tho.

No more lobbying, pandering, etc. I suspect he is the most popular candidate on the internet (barring Ron Paul?). I wonder if we could assume changing Washington is a popular idea to those who connect about politics on the net.


Sen. Obama is NOT trying to stamp out lobbying. Professional lobbyist are the most vocal and successful campaigners for and against public policy and the allocation of funds, sometimes to the detriment of the public, but usually not.

The general ideas; Obama's campaign is attempting to not accept money from lobbying groups (political action committees) to show that his administration would not be unduly influenced by 'special interests', Obama argues for greatly increased transparency as to where money is going and why, and Obama calls for an increased role for representation from outside parties (effected by the legislation) to have a seat at the table when awarding governmental contracts and negotiating policy. In other words, the goal is to take any sort of back-room-deal operations and thrust them into the light of day.

These ideas are anti-lobbyist in the same way that videotaping the police beating someone is anti-police. Carrying that analogy further, bad police officers would oppose you videotaping them just like bad Washington politicians would oppose increased transparency in how they do their job.
