Mass treason in U.S. Congress

Showing their total disregard for the U.S. Constitution and the freedom of Americans, all but a tiny fraction of the U.S. House of Representatives have passed a "thought crime" law that claims to be a tool to help thwart "violent radicalization" and "home-grown terrorism."

A writer at an online news analysis site has reviewed it here:

There are more than enough laws already to prosecute crimes, but this new legislation is clearly designed to give tyrants leeway to bring charges against dissidents even if those dissidents haven't taken any illicit or disruptive action. Merely speaking in support or sympathy toward any radical group or action, particularly one with any history of violence, could land you in trouble with the feds. Watch out Bill Maher, your joke about the courage of Islamic men flying planes into the WTC could put you in Guantanamo even though there's no credible evidence Islamic men actually were the ones piloting planes into the twin towers.

Promoting violence to accomplish any political or social objective could be labeled as supporting terrorism... so any gang activity, robbery, or even child abuse and corporal punishment could be labeled terrorist activity... these are all involving some "social" objective, right? Do Congresspersons actually read these laws? Yes, a handful of Representatives voted against it and some were not present or chose not to vote. Republican Jeff Flake voted against it as did Democrat Dennis Kucinich, but the vote was a bipartisan landslide in favor of turning the federal government into the thought police.

Ron Paul, the Texas Congressman who did not vote on this bill, has been persistent in not voting for laws that violate the Constitution. He has just introduced the American Freedom Agenda Act to reverse many of the abuses of power by the Executive Branch that have been allowed by laws pushed through Congress during Bush's Administration. It would repeal the Military Commissions Act and restore Habeus Corpus. I bet we'll see a similar overwhelming consensus by Congress against Paul's bill as they showed in favor of the thought crime bill.

America, if you are ignorant enough to keep electing these fools and scoundrels to represent you then you will have no one to blame but yourselves when the destruction of the American Republic becomes fully visible.
