GOP Wants Big Government to Control Your Behavior Everywhere on Earth

[Risky Thicket]

Years ago I left the GOP disgusted with its attempts to church up the lives of American citizens. I became damn tired of the social engineering and the big government moves from the "small government" party. It hasn't stopped and I haven't found any reason to heart the GOP once again. In short, the GOP left to its own devices would give free rein to government while screws with the daily freedoms of citizens. They call it "values". Below is the most recent incredible attempt at ****ing with people by the fascists in the GOP. Freedom my Southern, Irish - American ass.

The Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee has taken a giant step towards limiting the civil liberties of American citizens by approving a bill that, according to investigative reporterRadley Balko, “would make it a federal crime for U.S. residents to discuss or plan activities on foreign soil that, if carried out in the U.S., would violate the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) — even if the planned activities are legal in the countries where they’re carried out.”
Balko has done a detailed analysis of the potential effects of the bill for the Huffington Post. He points out, as just one example, that if a couple in the U.S. were to plan to have their wedding in Amsterdam and distribute marijuana to those attending, they would be guilty of a federal crime.

“They could have limited this law to prohibiting the planning of activities that are illegal in the countries where they take place,” Piper explains. “That would have allowed them to convict the guys in the Miami case. There was an amendment proposed to do that and it was voted down on party lines. They intentionally made sure the bill includes activities that [are] legal in other countries. Which means this is an attempt to apply U.S. law all over the globe.”

We're in the middle of the most serious recession our country has seen since 1929...we're going broke...and the Judiciary Committee, instead of investigating the jakes who caused it all, is tinkering with this crap. Unfreakin'believable.

Yep, welcome to America, where the smart people find new and better ways to rip you off, and the retards with a great smile and a trophy wife run the government and find new and betters ways to **** you in the ass.

It's called the American dream :mrgreen:

you have 2 choices in government... big and big.
both choices are pushed by the only 2 viable parties that you choose to lead you.

this issue is but one small example of in a sea of examples of how the 2 parties operate.

I don't even consider the Republocrats to be two separate parties. They're different sides of the same coin, nothing more. Each pushing for expanded government. It's funny all those who call themselves small government conservatives, yet zealously defend the GOP in everything it does and continue to support them despite their measurable tendencies to INCREASE government.

Well, that's largely because they are ignorant. Like the people who call themselves small government conservatives yet praise Reagan for everything he did? Those people are buffoons. Honestly, many people have frankly no idea how the government works and lack the intelligence and education to figure it out. So they get their "facts" from the media. It's no wonder so many are ignorant.

Honestly, the only real end difference between the Dems and the GOP is how they treat women in their big government.
