It is basically semi-legal right now and for whatever people would rather pretend it doesn't happen than deal with it professionally.

wow, i don't know if it happened, but obama planned to issue an executive order last wedensday that govt could freeze all your assets if it decided you were obstructing the transition of the yemen govt, or threatening peace and security in yemen.

yemen just had an "election" where the U.S. puppet dictator was the only candidate

yemen is also the place the US bombed the **** out of some village and claimed it was the yemen govt. a yemen reporter figured it out and busted them, proved it was the US the whole time and got arrested and tortured for his trouble. yemen govt was about to let him out, and obama personally called them and told them to keep him locked up

i am not a democrat or a republican, but sadly libertarians aren't the answer either.

if libertarians had their way corporations would devour us even more than they are already

[kcaw]

Ok, but corporations don't confiscate your wealth at the rate of 28% minimum or put you in prison for putting stuff into your body that they don't approve of, or have almost infinite amounts of regulators to enforce the laws that they (don't) create, furthur limiting your freedom.

So, down with Government (and regulators and bureaucrats)

It's entirely without merit.

I understand that you like to be moderate, but you don't have to allow extremists to frame the debate.

There is just so much wrong packed into so few words here. You misunderstand money, corporations and government so much that it's little wonder you are a fan of unicornitarianism.

Apparently we are voting on something soon. The ads here have been pretty hilarious. Each one is attacking the other for being a moderate. I wish I could play one because they really are completely over the top. "My opponent says he's a conservative. NOT EVEN CLOSE. HE'S A MODERATE!".

****ing moderates.

In the uk both sides are desperate to portray each other as 'ideological' - way better to just make **** up the whole time than to have like a coherent plan or something.

I think I'm getting some of these. I think mine are the Republican primary for Senate.
