Nigel Farage giving it to UK PM Gordon Brown. I'm trying to free your mind, but I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through. Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac. George Orwell.
From the Majority Report, live MF 11:30am EST and via daily podcast at Majority.FM The White House has said that President Obama will not veto the National Defense Authorization Act or NDAA. The bill allows the military to detain and imprison American citizens indefinitely without trial.

Will Obama pass a bill that allows for the indefinite detention of Americans? Will this bill give any more powers to the government than it already has? Usually, Presidents pass this kind of bill either upon taking up office or when they are on their way out of office, not when they are about to run for re-election and this makes it all the more confusing to me. Possibly, this bill will do little to give the government more power, but will have a major effect on the upcomig elections, whether Obama passes it or vetoes it.

During these tough economic times, when you may have lost your job or your house, I, Rick Perry, know what truly matters to you: the icky icky gay people. At this very moment, some red-blooded, vagina-lovin' American soldier might be overseas with a sand nig... uh, terrorist in the sights of his assault rifle, only to have Poop Chute Pete sneak up the flank and take the shot. That shoulda been Vagina Vince's kill - not Poop Shoot Pete's. Because when it comes to killin' towel-hea...terrorists, where you stick your giggle stick matters....It matters. Elect me president and I will fight for the Vagina Bill. Every adult male who can provide notarized evidence that he has come into contact with a vagina, will receive a free license to carry a firearm. As president, I promise to end the war, the quagmire that America has been stuck in for years. That's right, I'm talkin' about the war on Christmas.
