WHY DON’T YOU PEOPLE GET ANGRY OVER WAR?
WHEN PEOPLE STARVE TO DEATH?
OVER POVERTY?
PREVENTABLE DISEASE?
YOU GET ANGRY WHEN THEY RAISE TAXES FOR THE RICH!
WHAT KIND OF PHILOSOPHY IS THAT?
What has that got to do with the constitution?
The government uses my tax money to murder people and build weapons of mass destruction in the trillions of dollars.
WHY NOT GET ANGRY OVER THAT?
WHAT KIND OF MORALITY DO YOU HAVE?
ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?
WASHINGTON – In a move criticized by human rights organizations, the Obama administration has decided to exempt Yemen and three other countries that use child soldiers from U.S. penalties under the 2008 Child Soldiers Prevention Act.
In a memorandum to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, President Barack Obama said he had determined that "it is in the national interest of the United States" to waive application of the law to Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan and Yemen. He instructed Clinton to submit the decision to the Congress with a written justification for the move.
Jo Becker, children's rights director at Human Rights Watch, said Obama had supported the legislation when he was in the Senate. "This is a ground breaking law," she said. "This is the first year it has taken effect and he's undercutting it."

You think you are so independent.
When someone robs your house, or mugs a member of your family [ god forbid] I imagine you don’t call the police you solve the crime yourself, right?
Or if your house burns down you don’t call the fire department you put it the fire yourself, right?
Or if you get sick Big Bad Bob you don't call the ambulance, no, Big Bad Bob goes down to the emergency ward by his Big Bad Self, right eventhough you just might have had a heart attack, right Bob?
Or you want to go from Minnesota to Ohio, then you build the bridges yourself, right.
Or you get on your horse or buffolo and tred there yourself, right?
You clean your own streets, right?
You don’t abide by traffic laws, right, you just do your own thing, right?
You don’t pay taxes, right?
You walk around the streets naked, right, because you don’t want to be bothered, yop want the freedom to do what you want to do.
freedom to do what?
