Because TERROR!
Just like the phony, massively profitable "war on drugs" before it, the "war on terror" is a neocon scam brought forward into today.
I have seen serious discussion online regarding when and where we should set aside the Constitution itself.
Because TERROR!
With the militarized police response to the Occupy Wall Street movement, 7400+ citizens brutalized and arrested in what seriously amounts to domestic terrorism (force and threat of force against the civilian population in the interest of having them alter a political position or behavior), we have effectively lost the 1st Amendment, in terms of serious, get in their face and tell them to do what's right modes, of civil disobedience.
With the war upon TERROR!, with the neocon/Bush FISA and other warrantless wiretapping schemes and other, even worse surveillance state automata, we have lost the 4th Amendment. And some here are actually putting forth arguments about when and where this must occur.
Give away the Constitution, and you will find it not so very easy to reinstate. Consider this.
Also consider their exit plan for the war on TERROR!
There isn't one.
Consider THAT for a moment. They are creating the state of permanent warfare depicted in George Orwell's "1984".
They are attempting to get us to accept as normal, that the Constitution -must- go away BECAUSE TERROR! And it all stems from a neocon power grab, the project for a new American century. There is zero reason for anyone to accept this neocon bullshit.
But how does it occur?
"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." ~Noam Chomsky
Such as, when and where to set aside the Constitution of the United States of America.
Please watch for this here and elsewhere. It is anti-American. It is anti-Constitution. It is pro-neocon. FUCK the neocons, and those who would say we should support their plans. We have also lost the right to a speedy trial and even representation in court through the 2012 NDAA section 1021, so that's another Constitutional guarantee summarily snipped away essentially forever, right before our eyes.
ENOUGH. Resist with all your passion and knowledge, those who would burn the founding documents of our country
BECAUSE TERRORS!
