After 220 Years, The Bill Of Rights Is No More

The first ten amendments to the United States Constitution is known as the Bill of Rights.  They have been the law of the land for the last 222 years to the day.

Now, the Legislative branch of the United States has passed a bill to essentially do away with all that has been fought for and blood spilled over. For you that do not know, the legislative branch is made up of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Represenatives.

With  the stroke of a pen, a man that the world is not completely convinced is the duly elected President of the United States of America, has taken that all away,  and most of you do not even have a clue.  He will have signed the bill by the time you read this.

That is  how they got this bullshit through the House and Senate of the United States.  They know that American Idol, crack cocaine,  the NBA, cold beer, and the NFL have your minds in a vice.  Between all of that and your need to buy presents for people that you don’t like with money that you don’t have, they got your ass.  They have prepared you to be a slave, and they have trained you well.

You should be ashamed to call yourself an American.  For the most part, a great number of the people that read this have never done anything for this country.  I am not talking about the military.  There are hundreds of ways to do something for America,  including VOTING.  Here I show you the way it is now,  and the way it had been since 15 December 1791.

It is past time for you to decide which side you are on.  Some of you have had that decision made for you by me and those like me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act

The National Defense Authorization Act is a United States federal law that has been enacted for each of the past 48 years to specify the budget and expenditures of the United States Department of Defense.^[1]

A recent controversial provision in the NDAA act for 2012 has received critical attention^[2] because Sections 1031, 1032 and 1034 allows for the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens.^[3][4] As passed, the 2012 bill includes language in Section 1032 stating the intent is not to change existing common law, such as Hamdi v. Rumsfeld and Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, which ruled in favor of detention of U.S. citizens and lawful residents. Citizens of the United States are statutorily excluded only from the “requirement for military custody” in Section 1032, which provides the executive branch discretion whether to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens within military detention centers, or alternatively in the Federal prison system. Full text of S. 1867 as passed.

The bill passed with 93 ‘yea’ votes to 7 ‘nay’ in the U.S. Senate, and is now available for view by the public.^[5] As of early December, the bill, now known as H.R.1540, is under review by the House of Representatives. H.R.1540 is being sponsored by Rep Howard McKeon, and is cosponsored by Rep Adam Smith. Bill H.R.1540 and its progress can be examined by visiting http://www.house.gov/ and searching H.R.1540 or S. 1867.^[6][7][8]
