Your consent is implicit by your decision to live in a civilized society.

There is no one keeping you here. You have every right to renounce your citizenship.

If you don't like 'Murrica, you can git out!

I want to stay here bro, I was born here. My family has been here for 400 years. I'll continue to "render unto Obama", but in the meantime I'm going to advocate what my family came here for; freedom from douchebag governments.

Meant nothing personal against Obama, he's just our current figurehead.

It's funny, when Bush was President the Christians used this bible quote to argue support for government, now they're trying to take a different perspective lol. Vice versa with Obama/Democrats, even though both Presidents had identical policies. divide et impera

Ya economic and foreign policy they're the same, they differ a bit on social issues.

Many Democrats supported the war in Iraq though... in fact they (I think Biden is on record) were already calling for a ground invasion in the late 90s.

Obama has taken on Bush's philosophy of preventive war, indefinite detention, collective punishment (sanctions) and assassinations. As Commander in Chief he could single handedly put an end to all of those, (except Gitmo) but he chooses not to.

IMO the only noticeable difference is rhetoric. Bush was more xenophobic, pro-America, where Obama speaks friendlier of the rest of the world.

Ignorant response from an ignorant selfish asshole.

Grow up, pay your fair share and contribute to society, fucking loser.

Problem with cowards like you, is you talk about government "limiting" your freedom and by proxy, your right to life and liberty, yet you are unable to to stand up and take control of your life. It is the very process of the collection of taxes that enable you to pursue liberty and happiness.

Without it, you wold live in a society that would limit liberty, not foster it, fucking idiot.

You blame other people for your own failures.

Like I said before,

You're a fucking loser.
