We clearly see the militarization of the police
IRS being armed and trained with fully automatic AR-15's
The Patriot Act
NDAA
DHS
TSA-Sexual abuse at the airports
Misuse of martial law... Boston anyone?
Breakdown of the family
Record numbers on govt. aid
Federal Reserve printing of endless 'fairy dust'. Actually, they don't even 'print' anymore. They just add 0's and 1's to the computer screen! YIKES!!!
Every fiat currency in the history of the world has failed and now, for the first time, the fiats of the world are all tied together!!! Double YIKES!!!
I believe.... we have a problem... Houston.


It's appears to me our Constitution is being systematically dismembered.

Are we witnessing AmeriKa in her death throws?

You're going to have to put a comment or two about your thoughts in your OP, otherwise it'll get locked by one of the mods.

As for the OP, America had never been more free than it is now.

Its true. A black person couldn't sit on a bus till the 60s. A gay person was forcibly institutionalized and even imprisoned. That is 30% or more of the population right there. The cops did far, far worse things, as there was no way of keeping video evidence. You could be conscripted and sent to fight a war. Women faced even more rape and assault and murder as they do today. There were more ways for big companies to get away with chemical dumping, monopolies, scams, etc. There was less access to information and far more government secrecy.

The list is endless.

There are more rights than before, less liberties. When I talk about rights and liberties I mean it in this sense:

Rights are things that the government does so that you may be free.
Liberties are things that the government does NOT do so that you may be free.

The problem is more laws than ever before, almost everything has been criminalized or legislated in such a way that noncompliance is a penalty. The militarization of cops, for example, can be traced almost directly from the war on drugs. Fear rules the day and it seems we've become a proactive society than a reactive one.
