Freedom Isn't Free!

But not before a special election where an overwhelming mandate by 95% of eligible voters will demand that the above measures be immediately proposed and unanimously passed by Congress, without delay. In addition, Tea Party rallies will be held nationwide to demand that this occur immediately, complete with participants carrying misspelled signs in crayon, with no attendees eligible to be Citizens upon passage of the new law.

So there you have it. The privileged American Kleptocratic Plutocratic Oligarchic Aristocracy will all justly be American Citizens and the rest of us won't. Democracy in action! Er, sorry, Republicanism in action!

Hey, I apologize for the length of this; if it cannot be put in a Tweet today people can't be bothered to read it, which is exactly why it's more truth than satire. In addition I apologize if anyone is offended, but this is the reality of it.

Anything other than the program I described above a financial requirement for Citizenship, purely in the interest of preserving Freedom and in safeguarding our great Republic is Socialist Commie Tyranny and should be prevented or stopped at all costs. You don't want to live in a Socialist country, do you? Wouldn't you rather live in a free country as a non-citizen with no rights than in a Commie Socialist country as a citizen, with a right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, a job with a living wage and access to affordable healthcare?

In my case, I'll either be faced with finding another place to live outside the U.S. or living in the U.S. where I would be arrested for attempting to exercise my freedom and claim my rightful Citizenship by birth and for refusing to shut my pie hole, kind of like I'm doing now. But if I'm arrested at least I'll get a roof over my head and subsistence meals and free healthcare (at your expense, not the expense of Citizens).

Or if I live as a "criminal" under the radar, I'll be released from the obligation of being patriotic, fighting unjust, idiotic, illegal or religious wars, or paying taxes for any reason since we get nothing from the taxes taken from us. The new laws, morally and ethically speaking, would not apply to me, and that, really, when you think about it, goes right to the core of why our original Founders fought for Independence and "no taxation without representation" in the first place.

But, as I said, things in America are neither simple nor fair. And let's not forget that genocide was attempted against the original inhabitants of our land and when that failed they were given liquor and then casinos to shut them up so white people could feel good and pretend that their obscene debt was repaid.

I'd consider liquor and a casino to shut my coffee hole.

However, this time I have a feeling the genocide will be much, much more heinous and brutal, since the Ultra-Wealthy Class of future Citizens perpetrating this is a devious and vicious organism that learns very well from its past mistakes, free of the historical distortions they feed the masses, with written "history" that praises them as the great people that they aren't, and that practices the very type of evolution it claims doesn't exist when it comes to their own survival and inventing better ways to oppress freedom and preserve their power and wealth.

Anyway, it's not going to be pretty, but I guess you gotta die of something.

See the really sad part is that the things I mention here will never be this blatant, it's too honest and too true.

What they'll do is continue duping people with the illusion that they are free and live in a free country and get to "vote" on things. And people might get angry that the "government" disrespects their wishes, but they will be happy because they get to walk around with a little sticker on their shirt like all the other Stepford-voters and they can pretend that they count and that the people I keep mentioning, the ones that all own estates in Dubai and have private jets ready to take them there if and when our nation falls apart completely, that those people love the little guy as much as they love America herself and that their only goal is to keep her strong and safe as they dismantle the Middle Class, loot the Treasury, avoid their fair share of taxes, move our entire manufacturing base to Asia and completely destroy our economy and environment.

So, this ridiculous distraction and 14th Amendment argument is really moot considering the total illusion that our Citizenship, as it is allowed today, actually means something relevant to Freedom or Democracy. It is likewise ludicrous to believe that our "vote" for one of the two acceptable candidates from both sides of our one corrupt corporate-controlled party that does not serve the interests of the People, but only serves the wealthy and their too-big-to-fail corporations, that are all tied together not so much in a conspiracy as much as it is in mutual self-interest, actually means we are participating in a functioning democratic process.

And of course, again, I'll be vilified as a kook or America-hater for voicing an opinion (after 22 years of military service and worse, I'll be criticized by people that never served or even thought twice about serving). And draft-dodgers, liars, shills and greedy, unethical power-mongering war profiteers will be praised as patriots and great heroes of our time, with many chapters devoted to them in American History books approved by the state of Texas and therefore sold nationwide.

Make no mistake and harbor no illusions, however. The corporations and the people that own them are the very same people that feel entitled to privatized profits but socialized losses; they believe that taxing them is tyranny, but taxing you is fair; they want to end Social Security, Medicare, Welfare, minimum wage, unemployment safety nets and repeal the 14th Amendment. As they flagrantly practice top-down class warfare against us, they get their hardly-liberal media to vilify anyone that dares to challenge them and speak out against them as dangerous "far-left" practitioners of bottom-up class warfare.

They are quite simply the "domestic" part of "enemies, foreign and domestic" and if we even have time left, which I'm inclined to doubt, they must be stopped by Participatory Democracy based on sound Constitutional principles.
