We gotta fucking study how other countries do this shit and pick the best most tested method for success. This is ridiculous. Drugs and Prisons too. It's easy. Michael Moore attempted to show it in his movie "Where to Invade Next?"

You know that you live in the Twilight Zone when the US is a bankrupt warmongering police state and Americans look you in the eye and say that the USA is a peaceful and free country with a balanced budget.

I don't know a single American that would say such a thing with a straight face. We all think the place is burning to the ground, we just can't agree whether it's best to let it burn down or not.

Most people would prefer to ignore a hard fact rather than face it.

Soon Americans will be wearing Mao suits and giving Nazi salutes.

The USA today is much less free than when King George ruled.

Americans are little more than slaves now. The US no longer has a democracy, Americans have zero rights, and everything is illegal.

You know that you live in a complete police state when you have no free speech, freedom of religion, gun rights, freedom from warrantless searches and seizures, freedom from torture, and the government can arrest you and kill you without trial.

If the government bans things because of safety, drugs, terrorism, or the children, why couldn't they ban airplanes, skydiving, cash, belts, books, the Internet, churches, parties, cars, pens, swimming pools, tattoos, hammers, bottles, energy drinks, pillows, and coffee?

When will it end?

During the Wild West in the US, everyone could carry guns, businesses were not licensed, no one had Social Security numbers, there were no sales, income, or property taxes, and drugs, alcohol, smoking, gambling, and prostitution were legal. There was little government, yet people lived and had freedom.

The government today is regulating every area of everyone's life. The government wants to tell us what to do, what to think, where to live, how to live, what to wear, and what to eat.

Saying you live in a free country with a straight face is difficult when everything is illegal.

How can anyone take the moral high ground on anything when we are all criminals?

In the US, your body is not your body, your property is not your property, and your kid is not your kid.

Government is not the solution to problems. Government IS the problem. Alcohol prohibition failed. The Soviet Union failed.

The US has security cameras, license plate readers, checkpoints, redlight cameras, speed cameras, FBI facial and voice recognition, curfews, gun bans, NSA wiretapping, the end to the right to silence, free speech bans, searches without warrants, private prisons, mandatory minimums, 3 strikes laws, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, NDAA, IMBRA, private prison quotas, no knock raids, take down notices, no fly lists, terror watch lists, Constitution free zones, stop and frisk, 3 strikes laws, kill switches, National Security Letters, DNA databases, kill lists, FBAR, FATCA, Operation Chokepoint, TSA groping, civil forfeiture, CIA torture, NDAA indefinite detention, secret FISA courts, FEMA camps, laws requiring passports for domestic travel, IRS laws denying passports for tax debts, gun and ammo stockpiles, laws outlawing protesting, police militarization, and Jade Helm.

Anyone who supports the police state is just a tool for the elites.

Too bad Americans are surrendering liberty so easily.

Why did the USA fight for freedom against the British, Hitler, North Korea, and Saddam if America just ended up as a police state?

All those Americans soldier died in vain.

Has liberty killed as many people as socialism did in Nazi Germany, the USSR, China, and Cambodia?

Freedom was not responsible for concentration camps, gulags, the Cultural Revolution, and killing fields.

If you want more freedom and safety, legalize everything, close prisons, and encourage everyone to own a gun.

Americans are whistling down to the concentration camps and you're going to say nothing?

Think.

No victim. No crime.
