Stand Up For Your Rights?
This is scary stuff. I was having a conversation with someone some time ago and he was of the opinion that the only way the Citizenry in this country can get back their government from the clutches of these anti-people who run it, is under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. He was thanking god that the Neocons are all for gun ownership... I looked at him a bit with disbelief since I did not think that the situation had come to that. Low and behold here is Scott Ritter, the former United Nations' weapons inspector pretty much saying something to that effect.
"Several insiders have expressed concern over possible oil shortage riots. Would the Patriot Act be put to use, in your opinion, to address such riots?
[The Patriot Act] is simply the neocons putting their judicial agenda in place by other means. It was a compilation of all of the conservative initiatives, not neocon initiatives, which the conservative Republicans have been pushing for, including a more conservative law enforcement element.
This is not unhealthy as long is it is done properly, through legislation, proper channels of debate and discourse. A lot of this had been submitted in the past, but was rejected. After 9/11 all of these initiatives were lumped together.
There are some things in the Patriot Act I agree with, but the Patriot Act requires a responsible society. The neocons have no interest in a responsible society; they simply used the conservatives as a vehicle to push an agenda to assault individual civil liberties.
As the Patriot Act is now, how it came about, is entirely un-American. It is extreme legislation that does nothing to address the issues it professes to, but moreover, it is, as an existing law, un-American. What makes it un-American is that no one read it before they voted for it. So the process was un-American, and the motivation behind it was un-American. We cannot have a nation that is governed by fear. The Patriot Act is un-American simply because it exists.
So how do citizens address this situation since the very means of addressing it via Congress seem to have been closed off?
Congress has ceased to function as a viable tool of government. What is needed is for leaders of honor to resign in protest."
