UNITED STATES OF CHINA?

I guess I shouldn't be, but I'm actually in shock at everything the government is pulling right now--maybe pushing this horrible legislation through while we're busy with holiday sugarplums dancing in our heads? There is currently legislation which would drastically censor the internet, which would enable the government to lock you up without a trial, popular programs Social Security and Medicaid are still subject to cuts in a crippling recession and reporters are being arrested when they try to cover Occupy Wall Street. I wish I could say that it's the horrible republicans, which of course, are worse. But it's both parties trying to ram through legislation which the majority of this country doesn't agree with. Blocking the internet and locking you up without a trial are very China. Good practice for when they claim our immense debt to them and own us as slaves.
