When your government can legally kill you or detain you without charge, what rights do you think you still have?

OP has been had and I was too......
A narrow, conservative majority of the Supreme Court has embraced the notion that money is speech, and therefore most limits on campaign financing are dubious restrictions on Americans’ free-speech rights. For Democratic senators like Reid, Tom Udall, and Michael Bennet, a constitutional amendment is the appropriate remedy to prevent the corruption of our democracy.

And you'll both sit home watching a female democrat

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35583339


Oh, he'll run and probably "win" as well...unless the liberals have another non-natural born citizen to be their frontrunner.

The reason he'll win?
Retards who don't understand or care to adhere to the Constitution.

I am so ashamed of some of you GLPers.
Stop voting for and promoting non-natural born citizens to be president!

Obama: non-natural born citizen (non-NBC, father never a citizen)
McCain: non-NBC (Born in Panama, on non-US soil (off-base))
Romney: non-NBC (Father was not US citizen at time of Mitt's birth)
Rubio: non-NBC (Parents not citizens at time of Marco's birth)
Cruz: non-NBC (Born in Canada.)

But who cares right? I mean, it must be sooooooo hard to find someone to run for the most powerful position in the world if the rule is that his/her parents had to be citizens at the time of birth AND he/she had to be born on US soil. I mean, that's only like 85+% of people in the US. Slim pickins, man.

Oh well, let's just hand the reigns over to someone that has natural affinities and allegiences to foreign entities, and whose rule as President can be easily reversed (as a non-NBC is illegitimate and as a result has no legitimate authority to do anything as president).
What's the worst that could happen?

While everyone is distracted by this U.S. Soldier who deserted his post and was captured the U.S. Government is currently working to repeal the 1st amendment also know as freedom of speech and no this is not a joke. In other words every single American would be silenced from ever speaking out against our government and we will no longer be labeled citizens but subjects. Everyone needs to share this with every person of every color, creed, religion, and political affiliation who call America home. Contact your local representatives now and raise your voice.

They are GOD give right even if you do not believe in him you have those rights. They prayed over those when they were written.

Here is something that congress seems to have forgotten, they may have set up rules for D.C. but they do not, and I mean do not effect the states or the people we have our own laws and guess what, they supersede Congress and the president and all of Washington, if we so choose!

We can simply fire the whole lot of you or them.

The left believes in millions pouring into tax exempt organizations such as Planned Parenthood, the Unions, the NGOs, the myriad left wing, liberal, socialist 501(c)3s. That's how they buy elections.

That's why the administration gave the IRS to word to stall all the conservative 501(c)3 applications. They know how much money comes into election warchests that way.

I'll tell you why they want to repeal the 1st amendment.

If you have ears, listen. (in this case read ... obviously)

The main reason they want to do that is because they want to get rid of the separation between state and religion. They want religion above state.

In less than 2 years, maybe sooner but not later than that, a pope that was and now is not will rule the United States and you'll have to accept a catholic dogma as law or be considered a criminal.

What's so surprising? They've done it before with prohibition and they did it again to create the FBI and ATF. Amended in your precious constitution. Would you still support the Constitution if it said that the 1st and 2nd Amendment was invalid and null by adding another amendment? Yes, it can very likely happen. Just look how fucking controlled our Congress is.
