MySpace Mopsy and Myopic Measures

Friday, March 27th, 2009

The brazen, unbelievable stupidity of the law and law enforcement continues to surprise even me. One of the recent incidents which has my senses reeling, is a case where a currently unidentified fourteen year old New Jersey girl posted pictures of herself, consisting of 30 “indecent” images, on MySpace.

Certainly you can argue that her actions merit some kind of stern punishment by her parents and a harsh conversation on the sheer stupidity of performing such a naive act: but the government’s response is utterly nonsensical! This fourteen year old girl, who was not manipulated to do what she did, was not endangered by anyone but herself, is being charged with various laws against child pornography (presumably for creating and distributing).

Let that fact sink in for a second: She’s been arrested and charged with felony counts of child pornography for posting pictures of herself!

If convicted, she will have to register for the rest of her life as a sex offender! She will have no right to vote, own a firearm, etc., and will have to identify herself on every job application she ever fills out – for the rest of her life – as a felon!

How damnably demented, tyrannical and incomprehensibly brainless are our police and prosecutors? Are they really ignorant of the intent of laws like this, or are they simply throwing their weight around, using the letter of the law to purposely cause harm against people who have really committed no crime?

What good will come out of ruining this girl’s life?

The sick, festering, mentally deficient and morally bankrupt prosecutors pushing for these charges and the mindlessly absolutistic police who are helping them, are complete and utter scum – not worthy to eat the soiled toilet paper this poor girl produces. They have demonstrated no measurable common sense in this and should be debarred, disbarred and fired – and preferably buried in a very deep cesspool somewhere, where they cannot infect the rest of the populace with their malignant cretinism!

I am becoming more and more convinced, that the whole damned planet is going stark, raving mad.

Mandatory Volunteers

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Obama is likely celebrating the Senate passing the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act (GIVE Act) today.  It passed with huge support in the House and the Senate responded similarly.

This bill adds $6 billion to the budget over five years, to create 175,000 new AmeriCorps volunteer opertunities.

Among the things created by the bill is the Congressional Commission on Civic Service.  This commision is designed to study various topics concerning “volunteer working” by citizens.  This in itself is hardly anything to worry about, but in the same section of the bill, 6104, it states that the commission should determine, “Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.”

Mandatory service is in direct violation of the Constitution and is known by a more common name to most – slavery.

Obama denies that there is any plan to institute mandatory service, but the orginal wording of his page on change.gov stated exactly that.  It was only after fears of the idea started to tarnish his name, that the wording was changed to state that Americans would be “encouraged” to complete, “50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year”.

Mandatory service is an abomination that should not even been considered, let alone planned for. Mandatory service from our nation’s youth – the most impressionable of us – should be a bright red warning flag to those who remember anything of history.  That there were almost no cries against this bill in either branch of the Congress, tells just how corrupt the entire Federal government has become.

Police Abuse

I’d really like to hear anyone justify this beating.  This is the action of  a thug with a badge in my book.

Obama Wants to Continue to Spy On You

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

More lack of change, and this one is ugly.  The Obama Administration has been putting pressure on the court to set aside a ruling in favor of the plaintiffs, who are attempting to sue the government over illegal wire tapping.  Rather than rehash the whole thing, just read these two articles at Wired.  One and Two.

Big Obama is Watching You…

Closing Gitmo is a Farce

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

It doesn’t matter that the Guantanamo Bay facility is to be closed in the next year’s time, or that the Executive Order President Obama signed establishes that no prisoner can be treated outside of the what the Army Field Manual states – because the manual currently includes extraordinary rendition, solitary confinement and other methods of isolation, sleep and sensory deprivation, and manipulation and creation of fears through what would be call psychological duress.  Translation: the prisoners at Gitmo are simply being moved to other facilities and can still be held without charge indefinitely, simply by order of the President stating that the individual is an enemy combatant and can still be held to what some might consider, torturous conditions.

What this amounts to is a shell game, designed to show the American Idle, Obamabots and world leaders that Obama is “living up” to campaign promises, while proving to those who actually read these things that nothing really has changed and the mess is being swept under the rug.  No prisoners in Gitmo!  Now they’re in facilities in Egypt, other areas of the US, or held on Naval ships at sea etc.

More on the underlying crap involved in this shell game can be found here, here and here.

South Carolina Bill to Make Swearing a Felony

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

I wrote about Maine’s retarded goal to make staring at children a felony, well it seems that South Carolina also has at least one nut job who’s goal is to clean up the language in the state.  Bill S. 56, would provide for the following:

TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 16-15-370 SO AS TO MAKE IT UNLAWFUL TO COMMUNICATE PROFANITY IN A PUBLIC FORUM OR PLACE OF PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION

If you knowingly wrote, spoke or otherwise displayed any profanity in public, you become a felon, unable to vote, hold public office, own firearms, et cetera.

I think I’m replying in due fashion and in an appropriate tone, when I tell Senator Ford (who sponsored this bill) to go fuck himself.  Even if the State Congress of South Carolina is stupid enough to pass this pea-brained bill, it will be shot down so fast on grounds of the First Amendment of the US Constitution that you’ll barely have time to laugh before it’s in the trash bin.  Or I should say, at least I hope this is the case.

It does, however, show once more that our elected officials are complete scum, who cannot be trusted to have any influence of law over our enalienable rights.
