America: The land of future slaves

Some 1.8 billion rounds of ammo have been ordered by the federal government for the National Weather Service, Social Security, Department of Homeland Security, the Forest Service, etc. That's more than 16 Olympic-sized swimming pools filled to the brim with single-jacketed cartridges.

New laws are signed by Congress authorizing the military to arrest U.S. citizens and hold them in foreign prisons forever.

The military has ordered massive amounts of riot gear. Military police are beginning to train in our streets. Military drones now fly about the state overseeing our daily lives. Our grandparents have to remove their underwear at airports because the Transportation Security Agency thinks they're a threat. The Department of Homeland Security hypes that everyone is now suspicious especially all those veterans, cash payers, libertarians, Ron Paul supporters and Constitutionalists.

Gov. Jerry Brown signs a new law making it legal for elected officials to meet behind closed doors to discuss who knows what.

I thought I lived in America, home of the brave and land of the free. But today I woke up and found out it was really the land of future slaves. Stick that in your file, Department of Homeland Security.
