P.I.D. Radio 12/16/10: Is This Still America?
Published 15 years, 2 months ago
Description
THAT'S THE question of the day. Our federal government asserts the authority to tell us what to feed our children (and then do it for us), to buy health insurance for the privilege of breathing, and to assassinate American citizens without due process of law or oversight by Congress or the Judicial Branch.
When the president claims the right to kill citizens who pose a threat to national security and then his wife declares fat kids a national security threat, why are we even arguing over who gets to marry who?
Also: Obama admits we're in Afghanistan until 2014 at least; Army set to award mega-contract to train Afghan police; LA nuke "a survivable event; and Kosovo leader tied to black market in human organs.
