Showing Original Post only (View all)Why do we tolerate the TSA? The DHS? The "patriot act"? [View all]
Our power and our freedom are in grave danger. Institutions stealing our freedom are right now working on stealing even more. The people must unite in saying NO! to these black-shirts, these who destroy the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Our combined voice can scare them all back under the rocks under from which they'd crawled!
I imagine other people who thought they were free, watched while similar agencies grew and grew, because it didn't effect them right now, didn't effect them today...WE have a chance to STOP the same thing from happening! We have the lessons of history with which to prevent the same endgame! Do we say NO! WE are the power in this country! Unite!
These agencies are just ideas! We CAN say NO to them!

Good question. On the one hand we hear endless propaganda about 'freedom and liberty'

Sorry, if you support the unnecessary trading of liberties for false security

You forgot the NDAA law as well! That one is every bit as scary. We need to get rid

Why would you allow yourself to be searched and questioned without cause?

Why would you answer? Or why would you answer in an airport or train station?
