Have you heard the news today?

We have reached that day folks- the day the music Bill of Rights died.  Have you heard of the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act?  Yes that's right, an act of Congress that criminalizes thought-

"Harman's bill would convene a 10-member national commission to study "violent radicalisation" (defined as "the process of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system for the purpose of facilitating ideologically-based violence to advance political, religious, or social change") and "homegrown terrorism" (defined as "the use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within the United States [...] to intimidate or coerce the United States government, the civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives"). "

1984 has come to call- McCarthyism was nothing compared to what's coming under this law.  Vague definitions of quasi-crimes used to eliminate the rights of individuals, what hath God wrought?  Why is nobody talking about this, why is there so little uproar?  More importantly, why the hell are our representatives not calling 'bullshit' on this?!

And don't call for help from the Fire Department or an Ambulance if something bad happens, they've been deputized and given the power to have you arrested for what you think and read.

You want a 'threatened use, of force or violence"?  I'm not going to let somebody take my rights and my country from me-  I will readily sign up to join a militant resistence to this sort of thing- if we can't stop them with our voices, we must stop them with our bombs.  FREEDOM FOREVER.
