Kiss It Goodbye?
January 22nd, 2010 | 
Author: When I began this post, I had various titles in mind.
One was, ‘World Government, Inc.: 100, US Citizen: 0.’
Another was, ‘USA 1776 – 2010, R.I.P.’
Or simply, ‘Kiss Your Ass Goodbye.’
But ‘Kiss It Goodbye?’ seems to say it well enough, because whatever you may think ‘It’ is, whether it be your privacy, your right to own a small business that competes with the big boys, independent media, US sovereignty, or freedom itself, it just may be time to kiss it goodbye.
Because the same madmen in the Supreme Court that gave us George W. Bush back in 2000 gave away your country today to wealthy international investors.
On the off chance you haven’t heard by now — by a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court removed all restrictions on corporate spending on political campaigns, exactly the opposite of the kind of reform that is truly needed.
The potential consequences of this decision cannot be overstated. Imagine the worst case scenario from the most oppressive science fiction movie society you’ve ever seen. Okay? Now imagine worse.
Our founders (and the overwhelming majority of our leaders ever since) believed in regulating corporations — especially in the political realm — they believed in common sense definitions of common words and certainly could not have expected such insanity as this: that a corporation is a person and that any regulation of its expenditures on political campaigns is an abridgment of that person’s free speech.
In a society of increasing ignorance, lack of engagement, apathy… perhaps this was inevitable, but to say a corporation is a person… well, we might as well say a dog is a person and that any laws that govern where and when that dog poops, or any law that requires that such poop subsequently be removed, is a clear violation of that person’s speech.
And yes, I’m comparing a corporation’s free speech to dog poop, although I admit it probably does do an injustice to poop.
A corporation is not (even remotely) a person. Any small child of average intelligence can tell you that. It has no friends, relatives or children who must live (or suffer and die) in whatever kind of future it creates. And it has no spiritual aspirations, no moral code, and no conscience. A corporation’s sole purpose is to maximize return on investment for its investors, who are by the way, international.
The fact that so many Republican “leaders” applauded this decision is incontrovertible proof, as if we needed it, that they and their party no longer represent US interests, but World Government, Inc.
So… if you’re not ready yet to kiss it goodbye, and if you’re not quite yet ready to grab your guns and head into the streets for a bloody revolution either, then call, yell, and scream at your Congress: it’s way past time to impeach these madmen in our Supreme Court; it’s way past time for we the people to reassert ourselves and take this country back.

Thanks for the post.
You know what else a corporation doesn’t do? It doesn’t procreate, it doesn’t die. It doesn’t grieve. when its children or its parents die. it doesn’t draft declarations of independence. it doesn’t fight and die for liberty either!
you could not be more right. These men are madmen. We should have impeached all these states-rights hypcrites back in 2000 when they made the flims equality under the law argument. to deny states rights and stop the recount in Florida. Because we didn’t, they think they can do this. What next? We the people need to show them who’s the boss!! that’s what’s should be next.
