The emergency management law in Michigan, under Gov Snyder proves it. Have we been lied to since the end of the war of independence, or have laws been passed sometime afterwards? That must be the case, for how is it possible for one governor and a state legislators to pass dictatorial laws to take away the basic right in a Democracy to elect their representatives, and rendering their vote obsolete.
The second point that assures me we really don't live under a democracy, as we are told by starry eyed fake patriots, is the fact no one in the states, federal, or supreme court has said or done anything about it. No one in authority, including all levels of law enforcement, and homeland security seem to have mentioned or noticed. It's as though the people in the state of Michigan are on their own to fight a dictator with strong communist and plutocratic intentions. The attitude is THEY CAN DO THAT. If they can do that, we are not living under a true democracy. That means, people are destroying our form of government, without so much as a whimper by law enforcement on any level in the country.
The only difference in an outside force invading our country, a radical terrorist organization coming in and imposing another form of government on us, or losing a war, Gov Snyder and his republican legislature are doing it without guns, but with a pen. The results are the same, our democratic form of government is taken away.
Regular American people in this country have done long prison terms or droned for actions that would have resulted in the same outcome if not stopped. Are you sure we are free, or has it all been bullshit hidden in laws our elected officials passed giving them the right to say, THEY CAN DO THAT?
I understand the process of challenging these actions through the courts, sometime cases end up in the supreme court, but I see Michigan republicans action just as much an emergency as our system being attacked by outside forces The fact is, we drone American citizens who join up with so called terrorist, based on words or threats they've made, without charging them. What makes what Gov Snyder's doing any different?
