Good News for Americans who Value Their Freedoms

Yeah, I'm Canadian, we speak the Queen's English. Acronyms are a second language for us...

 

I got REMF, and FUBAR, and we can't translate those properly for fear of beatings.

Bion, you forgot one:
POTUS = TAPS

We had that Divine Right over here. Then Charlie the First got his head chopped off.

Damn Roundheads......

 

OK, a translation. Some of the terms were misused for (attempted) comic effect. And as they say, pardon the French; the US military has a long, long tradition of being a bunch of pottymouths:

Things Are Really F*cked Up in [the] Continental United States

[The] President Of The United States [is a] Can't C*nt Commanding Officer without Human Intelligence, [the] Vice-President [is a] Son Of a B*itch, [and] Congress [are a bunch of] Big A**hole Windbags.

Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism [means the] Central Intelligence Agency, [the] Defense Intelligence Agency, [and the] National Security Agency watch you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week [as] Standard Operating Procedure.

Rear Echelon Mother F*cker Command, Control, Communication, and Computation Intelligence [means] no Weapons of Mass Destruction, [and an] Iraq F*cked Up Beyond All Recognition.

MainStream Media, Overcome By Events, Sit the f*ck down and Shut the f*ck up UNless Otherwise DIRected. [What a] Big F*cking Help [they are].

Bend Over Here It Comes Again

 

I see someone's been reading the glossary in their Rogue Warrior books

 

The greatest threat to the freedom of Americans comes from preditor multinationals, not some faceless, turbaned Arab.

 

LMAO Bion.

If you refer to multinational corporations that will ship jobs to overseas companies to save a few bucks where they can and will buy all the candidates in an election and impose their desires on us that way, the you, sir, are right on the money...

AS Bion put it, BOHICA

 

Who's Bion? and what does "BOHICA" mean?

 

I tend to scip over acrinyms but I know know what it means.

 

Faceless Arabs threaten our safety, not our freedom. The steps the government takes in order to protect our safety threaten our freedom.

 

In turn, some poeple would give up a portion of their freedom to feel safe. Others say that the risks aren't heavy enough to justify surrendering their freedom...

 

You're more afraid of Arabs than you are of American criminals?

 

How on earth did you come to that conclusion?

 

it was a question, not a conclusion.

Wasn't it Ben Franklin who said: " Those who will give up freedom to preserve safety, deserve neither".

But seriously, is easy to see how such a power can be abused. For example. after an event like 9/11, everyone who checked out one of the books by Tom Clancy (where an airplane is crashed in Congress, if I remember correctly) might be tagged.

sounds stupid, maybe... but again people in charge of these things are not necessarily the brightest (see all the reports about how FBI, CIA dropped the ball on occasion).

 

It was Ben, and he was serious. But he did not make that comment during the Revolution but in the aftermath of Braddock's defeat during the French and Indian War. It was Franklin's frustrated reply to the pacifism of the Quakers on one side, and the arrogance of the Penn family on the other, who refused to pay any taxes towards Franklin's efforts to raise money for his planned militia and the defense of western frontier of the colony of PA.

 

I remember when that book first came out in paperback...it had a blurb saying something to the effect of "an ending so real, you'll wonder why it hasn't happened yet"

Then 9/11 rolls around, and we hear people talking about how it was inconceivable that such a thing would happen, and we couldn't have anticapted it. Yeah. Sure.

 

This isn't very good news for Americans who value their freedom:

House Approves Move to Outlaw Flag Burning

Burn your flags now, because its likely going to be illegal soon!

I do so loooooove it when they invoke 9/11 to further their political goals (of taking away free speech).

We should burn congressmen instead.

 

Actually, I had heard of some efforts to outlaw the burning of the American flag before 9/11. It is a tasteless, mocking insult to the nation that you live in. That's one thing about Freedom. If you don't like the country you live in, you are free to leave...

 

I completely agree. However, people should be free to make as many tastless, mocking insults they like. Or criticisms. Or protests.
