Does anyone else see a problem here?

President Obama evidently just said:

"Preserving our individual freedoms requires collective action."

Ahem:

NDAA HR347 Drones NDRP Patriot Act FISA DHS TSA TPP ALEC Militarized police Prison-Industrial Complex

and 7400+ Occupiers beaten and arrested for peaceful, 1st Amendment protest.

Cops came and beat us up and arrested many of us, across the country, destroying encampments and showing the lie which is our "freedom". Chris Hedges sued the government over the NDAA, and won, had it struck down as unConstitutional. And the government sent lawyers to get it reinstated, and did. And it was just signed again. Note the Trend.

He is after all just one man. He's working hard

Or a
vegetable garden.. (forgive my stream of
consciousness.. still waking)
