Overcriminalization: The government vs. YOU

June 14, 2013 at 6:06pm

That was very interesting. Thank you Meredith. I work within a small part of the Clean Water Act. Most people don’t realize how large the act really is and how many volumes of rules it has spawned. The EPA could get almost any business and most individuals in this country at some point in their lives with a clean water act violation.

Even if the IRS was marginalized with a flat tax. A political machine could do the same sort of political targeting with the Clean Water Act. The rules are just so complex, intertwined and overlapping, average people don’t know how deep it goes.
White House defends Obama’s $100 million Africa trip

maybe 100 million is worth it to have them lie to someone else for a while. Hopefully they stay and extra week.

Just e-mailed my representative. This Bill is a national travesty.
Terrible: Dog-Throwing Soccer Player Gets Ejected as Fans Hurl Objects Onto Field

In reply to Gatekeeper.

38 U.S. fatal dog attacks occurred in 2012. Most of them Children and Elderly. Each day, about 1,000 U.S. citizens require emergency care treatment for dog bite injury. The average cost of a dog bite-related hospital stay was $18,200, approximately 50 percent higher than the average injury-related hospital stay. http://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics.php

Maybe he was trying to protect the other players? I’m just kidding but seriously, I hate dogs. I have owned some really great loyal dogs in my life. I don’t have one now. I don’t beat dogs, but I will shoot them on my property. I’m sure a bunch of you will say that I am evil and I beat my wife and kids etc. etc. I really don’t care what you think. Animals are not people. It is possible to kill a dog or cat and love your kids, exactly the same way you can kill a fly or mouse and love your kids, except stray dogs can be a bigger nuisance.

That being said: what he did was wrong but suggesting another person is a woman beater or should be beaten or killed for trowing a dog is just stupid.
Obama Admin Considering Resettling Syrian Refugees in U.S. and These Are the States Where They May Go

June 11, 2013 at 1:50pm

They should go through the proper channels. By that I mean sneak into Mexico, and then cross the border illegally into the US, naturally settle where there is the most free stuff and then get amnesty from the gang of Ocho in Congress. Suggesting that we bring them in any other way makes me suspicious of Obama.

I hear there are a lot of vacant homes in Detroit.
MSNBC Host Mika Brzezinski Gets Upset After Reporter Accuses Her of Reading White House ‘Talking Points’ on NSA Leak Story

Too bad Joe (the fool sitting next to her) didn’t yet BURN! That would have been hilarious.
Nancy Pelosi Can’t Remember Promising This One Thing She Promised

In reply to Liberalismsamentaldisorder.

Exactly what I was thinking.

That’s why Obama always needs the teleprompter or Notes from his “people”. And the reason Obama is never interviewed by anyone asking serious questions where the “people” are not controlling the narrative. The “people” keep the lies straight unless they forget like Pelosi who will hide out for a while or get new People.

NSA Whistleblower: The Government Is Still Telling You an ‘Outright Lie’ About Its Spying Programs

In reply to Gonzo.

How would the government not use technology against us? stick to the constitution. What is the proper roll of government. I suggest reading the 5000 year leap.

We’d have to shut down the IRS, DHS, most of the FBI. etc. Return power and most taxation to the states, repeal the 17th amendment. Nix welfare, SS, disability etc. and seal the borders for starters.
