#1 According to the ACLU, state police in Michigan are using “extraction devices” to download data from the cellphones of motorists that they pull over. #NO LONGER HOME OF THE BRAVE FREE#The following are 10 examples that show that we no longer live in the land of the free and the home of the brave…. Sadly, millions of Americans have actually embraced tyranny, and if you are not outraged by any of the items listed below than you are likely one of them. In fact, if none of these things make you mad there is a problem. The things that you are about to read should make you mad. In fact, a number of them are almost totally gone at this point. Our politicians love to give speeches about “liberty” and “freedom”, but they always seem to have excuses to justify the endless parade of liberty-killing laws that they are imposing on all the rest of us.Īlmost all of the freedoms listed in the Bill of Rights have been severely eroded. Unfortunately, none of this is an exaggeration. Our children are being taught to enjoy living as docile slaves in a world where imagination, liberty, freedom and adventure are all greatly discouraged. Meanwhile, our public schools have become little more than prison grids. We are all being treated little better than cattle and we are all being taught that it is best to just sit in our homes and absorb all of the television “programming” that is being provided for us. The radical social engineers in the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and communist China never even dared to try some of the things that are going on in America today. These days there has to be a “rule” or a “regulation” for everything. Most of our politicians seem to be control freaks that are obsessed with running every single little detail of our lives. Instead, we live in a “Big Brother” police state control grid that is becoming more restrictive every single day. The things that you are about to read are enough to make the blood of any red-blooded American boil. Shame on the city government of Richmond for being such a bunch of useless, do-nothing idiots, and fuck the Atlanta Braves (and their parent corporation, whoever it is this week) for being a bunch of thoughtless, apathetic dickholes who never gave a shit about Richmond in the first place.Do you know people that still believe that America is a free country? Do you have friends or family that are proud to live in “the land of the free and the home of the brave”? If you do, just show them this article. On the other, I'm pretty sure (despite what I say in the strip) that Richmond will not be able to get its shit together and get another team, so baseball in the city is pretty much dead for the foreseeable future. On one hand, I'm glad to see them go.unlike most minor league teams, the R-Braves were owned by their parent club and not a local organization, and were usually treated as an afterthought. Today, i t was announced that they will move, and will play in a suburb of Atlanta starting in 2009. The Braves, in turn, have been hinting at picking up and leaving town. The Richmond city government, in their usual style, has been unable to get anything done or come to any kind of conclusion. It was not a fun place to watch a game I live less than two miles away and went to exactly one game last season, on opening day.Īnyway, negotiations have been going on forever as to when and how the city would replace the existing ballpark. It's typical Richmond.not that great, but it'll do. Similarly, the stadium in which they play is a shithole, and pretty much has been since the day it opened, a soulless, cavernous concrete bowl that lacks personality of any kind. Their colossally dickish policy of making all the minor league teams share their name is even more galling. It was mainly a bitch-fest.since I can't stand the team's parent club, the Atlanta Braves, I find it nearly impossible to root for a team that shares their name. About a year and a half ago, I created a strip for Richmond Magazine about our local minor league baseball team, the Richmond Braves, and the questions about the stadium in which they play, the Diamond.
