Does anyone actually believe the lie that US troops fight for our freedom?
Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended." ~ George W. Bush, September 11, 2001 We have heard it repeated loudly and continuously since 9/11 ? the troops are defending our freedoms. This claim is made so often and by so many different segments of society that it has become another meaningless national dictum ? like "God Bless America" or "In God We Trust." This cliché is actually quite insidious. It is used as a mantra to justify or excuse anything the U.S. military does. U.S. troops are engaged in unconstitutional, undeclared wars ? but the troops are defending our freedoms. U.S. drone strikes killed civilians in Pakistan ? but the troops are defending our freedoms. U.S. bombs landed on a wedding party in Afghanistan ? but the troops are defending our freedoms. U.S. soldiers murdered Afghan civilians and kept some of their body parts ? but the troops are defending our freedoms. U.S. helicopter pilots gunned down Iraqi civilians ? but the troops are defending our freedoms. U.S. soldiers killed civilians for sport ? but the troops are defending our freedoms. U.S. troops carelessly killed civilians and then covered it up ? but the troops are defending our freedoms. But as I have pointed out many times in my articles on the military, and others like Jacob Hornberger of the Future of Freedom Foundation have been arguing for years, the troops are doing everything but defending our freedoms. In fact, the more the troops defend our freedoms by bombing, invading, and occupying other countries, the more enemies they make of the United States and the more our freedoms get taken away in the name of "fighting terrorism" or "national security." Not in any particular order, and in varying degrees of significance, here are some freedoms I wish the military were defending: The freedom to fly without being sexually violated. The freedom to purchase a gun without a waiting period. The freedom to grow, sell, and smoke marijuana. The freedom to sell goods and services for whatever amount a buyer is willing to pay. The freedom to make more than six withdrawals from one?s savings account each month. The freedom to drink alcohol as a legal, voting adult under twenty-one years of age. The freedom to purchase Sudafed over the counter. The freedom to gamble without government approval. The freedom to deposit more than $10,000 in a bank account without government scrutiny. The freedom to not be stopped at a checkpoint and have one?s car searched without a warrant. The freedom to sell any good or offer any service on Craigslist. The freedom to fill in a "wetland" on one?s own property. The freedom to cut someone?s hair for money without a license. The freedom to home-brew over 100 gallons of beer per year. The freedom to advertise tobacco products on television. The freedom to smoke Cuban cigars. The freedom to not wear a seatbelt. The freedom to be secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures. The freedom to keep the fruits of one?s labor. The freedom of an employer and an employee to negotiate for any wage. The freedom to discriminate against anyone for any reason. The freedom to videotape the police in public. The freedom of businesses to hire and fire whomever they choose. The freedom to not be brutalized by the police. The freedom to not be arrested for victimless crimes. The freedom to sell raw milk. The freedom to not have one?s child subject to unnecessary vaccinations. The freedom to not have one?s child unjustly taken by Child Protective Services. The freedom to not be subject to the Patriot Act. The freedom for kids to set up neighborhood lemonade stands. The freedom to not have every facet of business and society regulated. The freedom to stay in one?s home during a hurricane. The freedom to not have our e-mail and phone conversations monitored. The freedom to travel to and trade with any country. The freedom to be left alone. Certainly there are hundreds of things that could be added. We no longer live in a free country. We are increasingly living in a police state, a warfare state, and a national security state. Our freedom is not absolute. The only reason the United States is still considered "the land of the free and the home of the brave" is because we are relatively free, with the degree of freedom varying depending on which country America is compared to. why do people have to risk their lives if I stay in a hurricane. I'm not asking or expecting or wanting them too. I made the decision myself and if I suffer for it there is no one to blame but me. Of course I wouldn't make my family stay. That would be dictatorial like our government and those who serve its will.

harassment from canada immigration?
Hi, I have a close friend in Ontario Canada, who's like a brother to me. I started coming up to see him and hang out with him in July of this year. I was living in Virginia but planned on moving to upstate NY as everything was way too expensive where I used to live and I had been trying to get away for so long. Ever since July I have been harassed, put on visitor passes, questioned like no tomorrow, etc. by the Canadian immigration. They keep pushing the fact i'm trying to live "illegally" in Canada which is not the case. #1, I have no interest in living in Canada #2, I would never in my right mind do anything illegally.... Part of this harassment is them always asking me if i'm dating my best friend. Why is that even any of their concern? But every time I go over which is every weekend, I stay in the states like one officer suggested me to while I do work Mon-Fri, and when I go over i'm sent to immigration each and every time. I've been put on 4 visitor passes now, and my car searched god knows how many times, to find nothing on me. Why? Because I have nothing to hide, i'm not doing anything wrong. But they still won't stop harassing me. It's getting so irritating and so bad. Why is it their concern if i'm dating or not dating someone in Canada, where I stay, (ex couch, bed,etc. they asked me specifically where I stay at the places in the house) what my hours at work are, etc. Does anyone know the rights of the american citizen when crossing canada when it comes to immigration so I don't get harassed so much? What can I do for this all to stop or at least to calm down some? One of the times I was there I was there for 8 freaken hours!!! Friday I came back over and was sitting there for 1- 1 1/2 hours. It's like they have nothing better to do but to harass me. And them keep pushing me to tell them i'm dating my friend when i'm not? They went through my phone and me, i'm the type of person to say I love you to my brother and sisters. So they seen me saying that in text to my friend that's like my big brother to me. But again every time I go there they question my relationship with my friend. Yes I hang out with him a lot but he's my best friend. I don't have any intentions on living in Canada, let alone illegally. I'm not that fucking dumb. My friend has visited me in NY a few times and stayed for a few days. But the harassment still hasn't stopped. so what customs and from what i'm reading here is telling me with this modern age of global communities and the technology that making friends with people all over this world ends at the boarder? Anyone entering any country is assumed as a criminal and has no rights unless it deals with either schooling or work? I have family in Canada, all my cousins except for 2 of them live and were born in Canada. I guess I can't even go and visit them unless over skype? My grandmother was married to a canadian and my Uncle married a canadian who he had kids with, the kids all still live in Canada which are my cousins. But I've only been able to see them once.
