Angry It's Official

As of yesterday with the loss of Habeas Corpus the United States Of America became an official Dictatorship. We could all see it coming for years but no one did a thing to stop it. I feel so very very sad.

Bravo... Keith Olbermann, hat's of to you for still hanging in there.
See you in Gitmo....

I think people have got so complacent with the crap that comes from the present US administration, they have come to expect almost anything.

It looks like the American citizens are not bothered about the right to a fair trial etc: etc:

I saw this on the net recently, and it seems rather apt.


First they came for the Communists
and i didn`t speak up,
because i wasn`t a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews
and i didn`t speak up,
because i wasn`t a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics
and i didn`t seak up,
because i was a proestant.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to soeak for me.

Sorry Sam, I was out of town this week. We all saw this coming, we voted, and the majority still ran off the edge of the cliff. I had lost faith long ago when I saw that democracy was bought and sold to the high bidder.

This action is one more step to the camps.
