American Democracy: 1776-2011.

It turns out that destroying the American democratic republic was easy to accomplish, historians will write someday. Simply get the three major cable news networks to blather on about useless bullshit for a few days, while legislators meet in secret behind closed doors to rush through the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA), and its evil twin sister, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), which is a clever name for an Internet censorship bill straight out of an Orwellian nightmare.

Sure, some independent media web sites and Jon Stewart warned us about this. Ron Paul & Son warned us about this. Amnesty International and the ACLU have been screaming from the rooftops, crying bloody murder. But the American people let it happen, because the vast majority of us simply didn't find out in time.

And now President Obama's advisers are saying he is withdrawing his veto threat against NDAA, so it will become law.

As will SOPA, since it is becoming ever more apparent that our "elected officials" in Congress are not satisfied with their 9% approval rating. They want a 0% approval rating.

I have no idea why Congress is pushing through anti-American legislation that is not only incompetent, but openly belligerent.

I have no idea why an American media blackout on NDAA is still in effect -- Anderson Cooper, Chris Matthews, Bill O'Reilly and the other broadcast "journalists" have been disgustingly silent on what is undoubtedly the most important news story of the past decade. The single most important news story since September 11th, 2001.

Combined, NDAA and SOPA simply destroy American democracy. That isn't hype. That isn't exaggeration. Within a few days, your freedom of speech will be gone -- post something controversial online, and the government can legally "disappear" it.

Annoy the government too much, or criticize Congress' infinite wisdom and mercy, and you may find yourself in military prison for the remainder of your life, without access to a trial or attorney. Even if you're an American citizen on US soil.

This is a brave new world. Watch what you say. Be mindful of who you associate with. You may criticize your government within the privacy of your own home, amongst close family or friends, but do not post negative comments online. Do not assemble. Do not protest. Do not agitate. Do not give "comfort" to the "enemy."

This is a sad day for all of us. All of our military spending, all of our fortresses and moats, and it turns out democracy was attacked from within, the historians will write someday. We didn't even see it coming

I find this an outrage and can't believe this happened, how do you feel and do you think it will actually be passed or vito'd like we all know it should?

The solution to this is fairly simple. Proxy servers are the way of the future.
AS sad as that is, IMO if they dared to enforce it it would cause an outright revolution, and very few peopl will actually stand on their side. Everyone loves the internet.

Obama would have been made to Veto his controversy he had over it. After all, he is just a figure head who can be changed. There are higher ups in the government who will tell him what to do. Our Queen is a figure head who is the same. She has no power and passes all the laws the government make up.

Considering America want to wipe out Dictatorship in other countries, they are starting to slowly enforce it in their own? This is how uprisings in Syria and Libya happened. They got fed up with their government controlling them and over threw them. This could potentially happen in America when it get's more well known and people actually start going to prison. Something like this is a joke and shouldn't exist. A breach of freedom of speech?

RIP PICHU.
This is bull in my opinion, the internet is not owned by any one person, it is a series of computers connected via wired and wireless transmissions.

They want to stop piracy, by doing this you will only cause more and more people to pirate and piracy is not stealing it is duplicating...

Its total bullshit america isnt really the "land of the free" anymore. Before you know it the government will have taken all of our rights away and the americans will more than likely over throw them
