All snark aside, hopefully the media blitz generated by SOPA and PIPA will wake the American people up and allow them to see that these idiots in Washington are slowly trying to strip us of our rights and freedoms. Not even one month into 2012 and we have had the NDAA signed into law allowing the military to detain U.S. citizens indefinitely without trial, these web censorship bills, and now the Enemy Expatriation Act which if passed would give the Government the ability to strip the citizenship of U.S. citizens... Police State anyone?
