Passed in both House and Senate. Sent all my representatives a letter prior, telling them not to vote for it. Sent them a nastygram afterwards telling them they'd just betrayed their country - because they just voted to restart slavery. Also written into the bill is a provision prohibiting groups, companies, and organizations from protesting the bill and mandatory volunteerism, a direct violation of our rights listed in the First Amendment.
My promise is the same as it has always been. I was born free, I've lived as free as possible, I'll die free. Any attempt to interfere in that perfectly natural chain of events will be met by increasing levels of force.
Meanwhile, everyone's torqued off because AIG execs got the bonuses they were promised by the Obama administration - after which those bonuses were taxed at 90%. To those folks who don't know, that's called a bill of attainder - i.e. any bill that specifically targets one group of people. This is specifically prohibited by the Constitution. Like, actually listed "no bills of attainder."
Now comes word that the head of GM has stepped down at Obama's request. We'll see if he tries to "appoint" a new CEO - whether by executive fiat or by strong "suggestion."
This country is irredeemably broken. Congress just crapped all over the "no involuntary servitude" amendment (one you'd think a black president would know something about), and our right to protest. And they kept us distracted from this with a bread-and-circuses routine that further destroys the free market.
If you don't have your mags loaded already, put down the Doritos and go load some between American Idol commercials.
