Who would have thought that in the year 2012 our biggest threat is the loss of our Civil Rights?

[Horse with no Name]

We no longer are moving forward in the spectrum...we are being jerked backward with significant force.

There is no right to privacy.

We are not guaranteed safety in our personhood.

Vigilante Justice is being put on the books across the country.

Men are controlling women's reproductive issue.

Racism/Hate Groups are littering our society...


Did the Patriot Act do this to us?

Because where I am sitting...it is looking like the terrorists won.

1. I think that we never really had any civil rights,

At least not in my lifetime. We certainly don't now that the US has been taken over by corporations and now the government wants in on the act. We need to increase activity at the polls and we need to get some dialogue going on in the general public that is not being done right now with corporations controlling the air waves and print media.

3. It's a zeitgeist thing. Your economic liberty has already been rendered null

Why should you have any civil liberty either? What would you do with it? Since you don't need the one anymore you won't need the other.
We non-Complainers are busy constructing the ideal society!

Can't you see how all your complaints about your so-called inalienable rights represent friction losses for the smooth operation of our society and the perfection of its ultimate form?

Serve the Queen, Dammit!

5. We are fast becoming "uncivilized."

If indeed we have ever been civilized in the first place.

6. Who's the real terrorists here I wonder?

The republicans have done far more damage to America than al-Qaeda could ever dream of and the damage they've done to our civil rights and our financial well being is simply catastrophic. There's no telling how long it will take to repair that damage and it could be unrepairable. Tge scary thing is I think we're headed toward another civil war and there's no telling what could happen as a result. I really worry what's next after the election.

7. We just lost the rights to keep our clothes on

if suspected of any crime. No say over being strip searched ... just on suspicion. Suspicion of having possession of some minute amount of some contraband substance. Stripped naked.
