Is this another small, incremental increase in the power of the "Imperial Executive" to the detriment of the Posse Comitatus Act?

Government vs Business vs Conspiracy theories

Hi

I know a lot on about the conspiracy theories that people talk about. I don't believe everything but I got my opinions.

And I know a lot of ring-wing people think the government is a bad thing and that it will go after them because they are resisting a NWO-commie-socialist-collectivist-world government.

I do agree with them on some points but the NWO is made out of corporations in my opinion.

So I stumbled on this graphic from infowars;

The "conservative party" the party of...

The obstruction, freezing of the working of governement through refusal to vote on crucial items, to failure to even have hearings on Mr. Obama's nomination to... The list goes on.

Then there is a "separate" arm of the republican party with FAUX news.

It just reeks and stink to high heaven of Nazi party's rise to power. In name of defending the Heimatland!!

Since no one else has brought it up-here goes.

I view it as women again falling victim to America medicine's war on women. They have always followed their dictums hook line and sinker-usually to their detriment. In the 50's, lobotomy was the safe and humane way to control a woman's 'mood swings and female issues'. In the 60's, Big Pharma stepped in and said pills were the answer. Also, hysterectomies were always the answer to female physical discomforts.

Hate Crime

 Change white to black = national story covered by all networds, but as is no coverage.

A white family getting gas in Baton Rouge, La., was attacked by three people who said the family was in the “wrong neighborhood,” police say.

The altercation occurred Sunday night at a Chevron gas station.

Republicans Can Thank Obama for The Peace and Prosperity Needed for their Various Witchunts

Aint it always the case when a Democratic President gets the economy more or less back on track after a crisis-filled GOP Presidency?  The relative calm and stability brought by the Democratic President allows the GOP to wallow endlessly in fishing expeditions and fake scandals.  Same thing happened with Clinton.

All you have to do is listen.

Usually, the two factions of the U.S. Business Party try to separate themselves through their rhetoric. When it comes to the important issues (you know, the ones that determine who, here and abroad—but mainly abroad—live and die), they both make the exact same decisions; but, as patriotic Americans, as diehard (fill in the blank with your Business Party faction of choice), it’s our duty to judge our leaders not by what they do, but by what they say!
