SweepTheLeg said:In the age of social media and political watchdogs on both sides a lot of these bills are going to have a much harder time getting past under the table, and what I meant as more moderate senate is that there are a lot of bills that get through the house that make me go cross-eyed on what they want to pass that senate shoots down. It's obvious as to why the republican controlled house would pass such a bill at this current time but there's a first amendment freedom of assembly thing that gets in the way of preventing any such bill from becoming an actuality so for it to become law the president would have to sign it into one and good luck with that. I guess my point is if you want to go crazy go look at all the insane shit the house has passed that hadn't gone anywhere after that.
Look you really should study recent history before you spout off about how a new era of social media will protect us. NDAA was passed two friggin' months ago! It annihilates habeus corpus a fundamental constitutional right since the magna carta. If a senator has no regrets about undoing 800 years of human rights then I can assure you that the right to assembly is an afterthought for these monsters. Blaming Republicans is useful for mental appeasement but this tyranny is bi-partisan. Remember that it has been the Democrats who have extended the patriot act, increased predator drone bombing throughout the globe, allowed the president to execute two American citizens without trial, continue the Bush doctrine of regime change throughout the mideast, etc.
If bills that make you "go cross eyed" included ones that protect the tenth amendment or somehow stand in opposition to the status quo (i.e. Ron Paul's NDAA Nullification Act or H.R. 1207) then yes they usually are never passed by the uber dictatorial, freedom bashing crazies in the U.S. senate.
Please get past this two-dimensional left vs. right b.s., which you have criticized in an earlier post, and see the problem for what it is and has historically always been -- the state vs. you. The end. Full-stop.
