Just when you thought the government couldn’t ruin the First Amendment any further: The House of Representatives approved a bill on Monday that outlaws protests in instances where some government officials are nearby, whether or not you even know it. [More]Some are dismissing this as an inaccurate representation of the bill, and point to RT being a Russian source with an agenda.
I've dealt with RTAmerica before, and again, and they're certainly more willing to address our issue and give us our say than most of our domestic "Authorized Journalists."
There's one way to settle the controversy: Read the bill for yourself.
If it looks like tyranny, and if it smells like tyranny...
Thanks, servants! All of you!
I can't tell you how much more secure in liberty I feel, knowing you are further insulated from the likes of us wherever you go!

They are NOT your "servants". Let's review the employer/employee relationship: The employer tells his employee what to do, and the employee does it. When is the MOST RECENT time they have done what you told them? Now let's look in the OTHER direction. When is the MOST RECENT time you have NOT done what they told you? But it gets even worse than that. If you were their employee, you could refuse to do what they told you and at WORST you would get fired. However, if you dare to refuse THEIR orders, you will be imprisoned or killed. That makes you NOT an "employee", but instead a Mere Slave. Once you are willing to admit that, then discussion is worthwhile. Until then, NOBODY wants to listen to a whining slave.
When peaceful "protest" is made impossible... well, you know the rest.
All I know is that it's pretty freakin' sad when Russian and Arab news agencies are more objective and trustworthy than the ones in the US.
