Pay attention. The problem isn't just the most recent SCOTUS ruling reaffirming corporations as individuals protected under the constitution. The problem is that we've been duped into believing that the framers actually believed that companies had the rights and privileges due to human beings.
Wrong.
They believed that humans were inherently endowed with rights. Corporations are the creations of humans, and can be granted rights and privileges by law, and should be. But they don't inherently have the same rights or deserve the same protections that humans do. Period.
FixCongressFirst.orgSign up, let your elected officials know. This isn't a Democrat or Republican thing. This isn't a progressive, liberal, reactionary or conservative thing. This is a Democracy thing. And regardless of your views on the way the government is going, you're opinion is going to matter less and less unless we all, as citizens, do something about it.
Overheard
I actually heard someone say, and I quote, "See, I think [Obama] is both a Muslim and a communist..."
Okay, you can say he believes in big government, and you can even say he has socialist tendencies. I'm not sure I believe that, but you could probably make a cogent argument. But a Communist? Do you even know what that means?
And he's not a Muslim. Even if he were a Muslim, he's obviously not an extremist Muslim or he would have already lit his underwear on fire, and we would have heard about it by now.
But, please explain to me, how someone can be both an extremist Jihad-loving Muslim and a godless Communist all at the same time?
I mean, come on. If I roll my eyes any harder, I'll sprain something.
