U.S. House Passes Authority for Worldwide War

Blog entry by ACLU from the 26th of May (click for link):

My plans to leave this s**thole of a country have already been underway for a while. If it does pass, the only choice is a revolution, but that won't happen because the citizenry of the US are a bunch of f*****g sheep who just simply accept what is spoon-fed to them, then they ask for more even if it is feces that they have been fed. People are just simply too f*****g lazy to stand up and fight the hell back against the system.

Oh, my god.I can't believe this s**t.I no longer consider life to be getting better.Wait 2 hundred years and the world be a full blown Orwellian dystopia.Life is a nightmare folks

Should I start packing for the labor camp now?

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer

Oh hell no. They know the economy is not getting any better so they are trying to get us into another wide scale war!

At my university, they are putting military recruiters on campus for the first time. Near my house, the local air force base is making more runs than they have in the past five years.

If this is passed, I and others are not going to pay taxes that contribute to the defense budget. It might be considered illegal but I consider it taxation without representation.

Did it fail in congress?? D*** rebublicans war mongering, power grabing, mother less B******, No offesnse to those who follow them off the clift, but they are going to be the end of us. I hope Obama keeps his promice to veto.

The same budget hawks are the ones wanting to proclaim and endless war???? An endless war would cost more than medicare, medcaid, SSDI, SS, and welfare combined. They probably had this planned to cut the deficit on the most vunerable and then spend that money on taking over the freakin world in some political darwinism/ social canabalism

The House has been proposing lots of things that will never pass. Abolishing civil rights, abortion, Social Security, then they will be willing to trade for a tax cut.

We need to raise taxes, but that is blocked in the House.

Nothing will happen with the current House. Things needed, like raising the debt ceiling, they will object to. They are war supporters, and failing to raise the debt ceiling would cut off pay for the troops.

Lets go with it, reduce all taxes to 5%, cut the debt ceiling, and pass a balanced budget law.

Social Security is a Trust fund, it has to be paid. Defaulting on Bonds is called bankrupt, and you are all fired. The first thing to do is fire most government workers, and cut the pay of the rest. Also, like the auto companies, unfunded retirement and health care has to be cancelled. All funds get transferred to Social Security, one program for all.

Public Workers were banned from forming Unions, bring back that rule.
I would make an exception for the armed forces, their working conditions are deplorable.

Pay to Congress should be means based, millionairs work for free. Staffers should get the Federal Minimum Wage. Make it ten years that they cannot lobby congress. Make them wear uniforms and be subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Before taking office, all elected, and staff, must pass a test about their duties, just like a cop or postman. They must pass the same test that immigrants must to become citizens. They must read and pass a test on, and swear to uphold, the Constitution.

Congress must be subject to all the laws they pass.

End all farm subsidies. Enforce all laws equally.

Abolish income tax, Put a 5% tax on net worth. No deductions.

All oil in the ground belongs to the people. Norway gets 75%. They have strict regulations, and no shortage of drillers.

Raise the Minimum Wage, and cut hours to 36 a week.

Businesses that hire illegals, are conficated and sold to fund the Border Patrol. Illegals get a ten year sentance picking crops, then deported.

As Citizens who reside abroad are taxed like they lived in the US, apply the same to Corporations.

All Mortgages are set at 3%, and not deductable. 20% down is mandatory.

Only end users may buy fuel and food futures.

The intent of this is to pay off the National Debt, Raise real wages, have full employment, a strong dollar, and promote investment here.

We need a two tier currency, One domestic, only good in country, and one international. This would end the drug trade. It also allows for remaining the Reserve Currency world wide. Boosting our own economy would not be exporting inflation.

A Minimum Income would replace most programs, Food Stamps, Unemployment, SSI, State Welfare, Be adjusted according to prior employment, instant, and be reduced $1 for every $2 earned.

Make it $1,000 a month, per person, and Minimum Wage $2,000. This is all money that cannot leave the country, so it will boost consumer demand.

There is more than one way to revolt.

Thats the final Vote for the House, on the amendment to Curtail the Provision for Executive Power to declare World Wide War..... Find your representative there and Vote for the opposition next time if they voted "no" . The meaning behind this is that the NDAA (The bit of law that gives the President this power to begin with) has already passed the house. This vote was a propsed amendment to that law.

If all else fails, there's always judicial review....unless some s**thead decides that such measures aren't necessary. But this is actually unconstitutional, since only Congress can actually declare war. I think reason has a chance.

Reads like propaganda.
