Don't pretend that Obama is doing this as a compromise. This is the intent. The Patriot Act, the NDAA, SOPA/PIPA, they all lead to one thing: fascism USA. This path has been tred before. Capitalism is over, democracy is over, and we are all just living in the shambles of ignorance that have been left for us by the powers that be. Viva la destrucción

The PATRIOT Act was written years before 09/11/2001. It affects laws passed as far back as 1978. It was written for the global elite to empower puppet agencies like the IRS and NSA to monitor and kill without question. 09/11/2001 was just a good time to introduce it. Until you end the Federal Reserve, every president will just be a puppet.

Sadly the govt is going for the option 2. pure laziness and idling.

[pimpbroker9999]

too many cowards that collect free money from the govt, and watch American Idol and other mindless sheep entertainment, will sadly prevent that from happening.

Fucking liberals, America is not born from Freedom and liberty, that's bullshit. America rise as a fascist state using freedom to lure more follower. You see how they treat the British sympatisers known as loyalist? American Revolution is not some romance novel bullshit, its ugly as hell and atrocities from both sides are committed.

That assuming there is another Presidency. Martial Law translates to immediate and complete dictatorship by executive orders. Its not IF, its WHEN. 

[Michael Bettasso]

This will get worse and worse following each presidency.
