    We must end Citizens United and then some!!!

    We must end Citizens United and then some!!!

    Citizens United must end! I keep hearing fake constitutionalist bringing up the fact that Citizens United is constitutional. This is the furthest thing from the truth. When the corporations are given the status of a person and they can use that status to silence most of the voices in this nation, then it is no longer constitutional.

    Citizens United is a thief of our constitutional rights. When your rights infringe upon the rights of others, then it is no longer a right. The fake paid posters in this forum, would like to have us all believe that people do not want their rights, and would like to be under corporate rule. But this is the furthest thing from the truth, the citizens of this nation do not believe this way. They are just filling forums up with lies, to try and make it look like public opinion, when it is not.

    They want us to believe that to have feelings is abnormal. That is funny, every man, woman, and child, is born with feelings, it is called being a human being, and those who are devoid of feelings, and empathy, are usually psychopaths.

    They are constantly asking us if we were coddled as children. Like if we were loved there is something wrong with that. Most mothers don't give birth to a baby and throw it. They hold it close and give it love. They are human beings. Even animals do this much.

    They would like us to believe that science is not real.

    They make it sound as though they are as American as it gets, and die hard constitutionalists, who want nothing more, than to bring our nation back to the way they believe the founding fathers meant it to be. But when you break down their arguments, it all falls apart. What they are calling for is the opposite of our constitutional rights. They wish for us to be rid of government, and under corporate rule instead. They wish for a lawless land, and a place where everything that can be, is plundered without limits.

    They are feeding us a lie. When I bring constitutional violations to this forum rather that joining in saying it is wrong, instead they defend the violations. A tree is judged by its fruit. My friends, the fruit is rotten, I would not eat it if I were you.

    They work to spread their agenda trying to seep and sow the seeds of division in the minds of as many as they can. Sowing seeds for an uprising to overthrow our nation. They have defended out loud that it is a right for corporations to do just this. And for those that don't want to overthrow it they want to change everything and funnel all of the wealth of our nation to the pockets of the most wealthy of our nation and allow nothing at all for the ones who are the original owners of that money.

    Some people are trying to make us actually want to be slaves, and to get rid of the middle man the Government and just go straight for the corporate rule. They want to indoctrinate as many as they can to believe that it is what we want. We want for our rights to be taken away. We are being fed an ugly lie. This is happening in forums everywhere, and all across the internet, and in schools, and colleges. They are eating away at this nation bite by bite. Say hello the wardens of hell. The future hell on earth that they would have us all believe that we want to live in. The corporations are hard at work trying to change this nation one mind at a time to the ideal that they see.

    Their world is one without regulations, and with little rules, and no oversight, and limited, or no Government. In this world there will be unchecked plundering, and no laws to protect the people from environmental crimes. Everything will be destroyed with rapid speed, much like what is happening already with Trump as President. They want what Trump is doing, but on an epic scale, with no regulations and laws, that limit his plunder of this nation.

    As it is, there are those in this forum, who were defending genocide as a business practice. We do what is best for our nation, we do what is good for business. They tried to even censor stories of the genocide in this very forum. Not only that, if you were to state that you cared about the lives of those who were being taken, you would be made fun of and trampled on, and tag teamed, saying that you were acting with feeling and emotion, they would say it like it was wrong to care about genocide.

    We destroy other nations for money, and we are destroying our own nation too.

    Do you think this is for you, like they are telling you? No, this is an agenda put forth by the corporations, to take every last thing that can be taken. They want an unchecked rape of this nation. In this world there will be no voice for the little guy, no recourse, and after a time no little guy. Their own system will destroy itself in the end. When this planet looks like mars then they too will have their final reward.

    What planet do you monsters think you will live on when this planet is devoid of life? When the water is poisoned and rendered undrinkable, when the air is not fit for even breathing, and just being alive is a health hazard? Where will you get more oil, when you have taken it all out of the ground? Where will you get water when there is no drinkable water left on this earth? What will you eat when this earth is destroyed?

    What do you think you are doing? What do you think you will accomplish? You are not smart enough to think it through, and see the true consequences of your actions. You are not able to see how this action will create a future effect. It is not just your self that you are so easily sacrificing for your infinite greed. You are sacrificing billions of lives, the lives of us all.
    We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We are all made from the same dust of stars. We cannot be separated because all life is interconnected.

    Citizens United was a constitutional no-brainer. It is the right decision constitutionally and surprised nobody that understands legal precedents. It will likely take a constitutional amendment to change it.

    As an aside, while it is a lefty cause celebre, please pull and read the entire SCOTUS decision. You may agree with its finding, constitutionally.

    Citizens united is simply doublespeak brought about by the undue influence of the super rich. Corporate personhood is ridiculous.

    Ah, squelch free speech. The left’s mantra. Corporations have to have personhood and had such for over 100 years or you could not sue them in court.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Funny how social cons love free speech when the talking is done with money. LOL No corporations don't have to have personhood and nothing in the original Constitution supports them having it.

    Actually DID the SC really grant Corporate personhood way back when or was it really just a mis report that took on a life of it's own?

    Courts recognized corporations had some of the same rights in 1819 and corporate personhood came into existence in 1886.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.
