Thought police?

It is fine with the majority of our men and women in the House and Senate. Drugging our children? Hey no problem as long as the pharmacutical companies lobby hard with our beloved dems.

John Kerry atleast voted against this, Hillary doesn't seem to mind if they drug our children without parental consent.

I will never support ANY politican that allowed this piece of shit legislation through, end of story!

OK, there's 2 Bills that mention "New Freedom Commission" but they are both from 2003.

and

4. You'll feel better
when they shift to the adult population.

Your mandatory medication will sooth your tortured mind! Nice, fluffly clouds floating peacefully in an azure sky of deepest Summer. You will soon love your Big Bro. Home at last! Freedom will be in your chemical bondage.

Be patient.

6. Here's a better one
It called the "Let Parents Raise Their Kids Act of 2004"

"To prohibit the use of Federal funds for any universal or mandatory mental health screening program."

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c108:17:./temp/~c108hYGTL9::



But guess who intro'd it: Ron Paul. Blech.




The world has gone crazy.

7. No it makes perfect sense
Ron Paul is a registered Republican but truly a LIBERTARIAN, with a BIG L.

He is consistent
