It's like magical thing, but I just witnessed 20 DUers actually agree with that fascist bullshit. I mean, if it's that easy just put the NRA leadership on a terror watch list and dispose of them.

This is all a horrible symptom of a loss of belief in our system of government. I got this response from a Right-winger on another forum after I pointed out the protection of the fifth Amendment:

Can't keep allowing what you call freedom to be used to kill people. You say you Can't search and seize anything from known criminals as we now embrace and protect their criminal lifestyle. That's the ultimate indication of a failed constitution and that your documents are showing their age. The trouble is that modern interpretation uses modern values which are in decline. The founding fathers were the BObama and H Clinton of their times. Short sighted Corrupt and power hungry.


I think we're fucked. Our Democracy is dying.

Muslims and Mexicans makes me nervous. I fear he is encouraging the hate that is already present in the US.
