Hey lurking Freepers, congress has sold us all out. What do we do?
I have no problem reaching across the ilse when it comes to drugging our children and forcing us all to carry national ID cards.

The New Freedom Commission is aimed at your kids too, hell it is aimed at all of us. It is Bush's plan and our own democrats have overwhelmingly voted for this shit. They have sold us out, and the main stream media is helping by being completely mums the word.

Our system is completely corrupt in both parties, while I thought there was a difference between the two, I was wrong. So what do we do about it?

2. I don't want to move to Canada, even though I want to leave
if Bushco is allowed to stay in power then their corporate fascism will spread every where, no one is safe.

Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

3. Three words that bring conservatives on board with civil liberties.
"President Hillary Clinton"

(I can't claim credit for this gem, though!)

4. Most of the freep crowd
will have to wait and be told what they believe about this new "leave no sober child behind" business. But you are right about the Dems - who the hell are they? We have been sold out and most of "us" refuse to believe it. Oh, well...what's on tee vee?

taking away their guns, and neither do I.

We are all in the same boat with this one, so even though the majority of people here detest freepers for supporting the fascist, we are no better b/c we honestly believed our democrats wouldn't go along with his shit.

We have been sent up the river and we can thank our own democrats for taking away our paddles.

15. Easy, now.
When Hitler turned on the Brown Shirts and purged their ranks, it didn't make the Brown Shirts and Jews allies. The Brown Shirts took their medicine and closed ranks with their Leader; let's wait and see what the radical right does in this instance before we give them the keys to the clubhouse. And I am not a Democrat, I am a leftist and I know who has and who hasn't stood for what over the last 30 years or so...

9. Doesn't Ron Paul
Edited on Thu Dec-09-04 02:43 PM by Mistress Quickly
have a counter bill? Something about the government has to leave families alone and let them raise their kids and can't demand they're being drugged.

Of course he's a libertarian, although he's listed as a R. Do the pugs like libertarians?

I agree with you that the pugs would dislike this as much. the problem is, do they know about it?

13. When republicans wake up and realize their party has been invaded
they often jump ship to the libertarian party.

And, yes, the political junkies on the conservative side of the fence are aware -- many are pissed off about all the New Freedom garbage. There are some who are having a difficult time swallowing the full dose of what's coming down the pipe -- after all, they've been conditioned not to question those at the front of their party and this "mess" was created by executive order of their Commander in Chief.

In as much as this scares us and pisses us off, it must be doubly hard to come to terms with being screwed by your own leader -- not only that, but giving him the glory of a supposed relection even as he has bent you, your kids and your civil liberties over.

12. Come on up...........but I'd rather you stayed and fought for your rights
Edited on Thu Dec-09-04 03:19 PM by canadianbeaver
If I had children I would be looking very hard for a new place to live if this goes through....it looks as though no one is willing to bleed or die for their rights....Where is the outrage!!! If this is what FREEDOM means then I don't want any!!!!!!!!!!

The US is slowly turning a corner alright....backwards!!!

But truly is there anywhere you could go on the planet and be FREE.??

Are you willing to die for your rights.....Ask someone who went through the civil rights movement and get MOVING...or else say goodbye to the US and get out now!!!

I hope people stand up and say NO MORE....cause I do believe in HOPE, LOVE and LIBERTY!!!!! It starts with ONE......

Think about that R.E.M. song and Video "EVERYBODY HURTS"...There is a news report at the end and it shows a freeway jammed with empty cars cause the people just stopped and got out......and walked for....(fill in what you believe here)!!

It can happen...just remember it's "WE THE PEOPLE". I think governments all around the world need to realize that we pay their salaries and make their companies run.... without us they are lost..imagine the power we hold...TRULY!!!

Are you willing to stop what you are doing for the good of the world and your own Country?
