Just get your official government anti-rape papers to avoid all the ogling and fondling. With my Sentri card, and it's built in RFID, I can travel molestation free anywhere I want to go.

The government should not be allowed to charge for not raping. All people should go through the same process regardless of how rich they are.

The charge is for 24/hr tracking. The not-raping is a fringe benefit.

That's not a service the government is providing to the citizen, but rather a service the citizen is providing to the government. If anything, the citizen should be paid for everything he's giving to the government.

Without the government there are no citizens.

In other words, every government program in existence...

Yet who pays taxes?

There's a big difference between social services and infrastructure being paid for by the public and the government favoring rich people with a different set of rules. You should not be allowed to buy government privileges.

How much of that budget actually goes toward the people who need it? I can tell you from experience(wife is a social worker), that contracts are met by pushing papers around, not by actually helping people. Ever heard the phrase "government boondoggle"?
You should not be allowed to buy government privileges.
Sentri passes are like $80 for five years, WTF are you talking about?

If tyranny is so wonderful, why do people try to escape North Korea?
That's where Dan and Jazz should go. They will feel quite at home there.

Actually, the world Strategist wants is like North Korea, a place where authoritarianism is absolute. What I want for the United States is the exact opposite of what North Korea is. I want a nation where all persons are equal under law with the exact same rights and no privileges for anyone, a society where we all obey the exact same laws, no exceptions. Strategists wants a class society with different laws for different people. He wants America to be North Korea.

Hello Dan, we already have that. It's called America, the land where millions risk their lives to get in. The land that has done so much for mankind. The land that sacrificed 620,000 young men so that slaves would be freed. The land that has given it's citizens a standard of living that is envied by the world. The land that allows you to criticize it no matter what.
The land that you hate.

Love your country, but never trust your government.
We can change our government every 2 years.

The fact that you actually believe that is proof that you are brainwashed. Any attempt to make America better or to save Americans you don't like, such as innocent blacks being murdered by cops, you call an attack on America. You are so full of shit.

Tyranny didn't work out too well for the USSR, Nazi Germany, and Cambodia so why are Americans embracing it?

While few have noticed, U.S. airport security workers long had the option of using five different types of physical pat-downs at the screening line. Now those options have been eliminated and replaced with a single universal approach. This time, you will notice.
The new physical touching—for those selected to have a pat-down—will be be what the federal agency officially describes as a more “comprehensive†physical screening, according to a Transportation Security Administration spokesman.
Denver International Airport, for example, notified employees and flight crews on Thursday that the “more rigorous†searches “will be more thorough and may involve an officer making more intimate contact than before.â€
“I would say people who in the past would have gotten a pat-down that wasn’t involved will notice that the [new] pat-down is more involved,†TSA spokesman Bruce Anderson said Friday. The shift from the previous, risk-based assessment on which pat-down procedure an officer should apply was phased in over the past two weeks after tests at smaller airports, he said.
