In the latest troubling video published by author and activist Mark Dice, California beachgoers can be seen happily signing a petition to repeal the Bill of Rights to support President Barack Obama.
In the video, Dice slyly refers to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which in its Fiscal Years 2012 and 2013 versions stripped Americans of the right to face charges and a fair trial.
While many of the signatories probably have no clue what the NDAA is, it is far more shocking to realize that some seem to either not care about the Bill of Rights or have no clue what it is.
Without the Bill of Rights, our right to free speech, a fair, public and speedy trial and protection from warrantless searches and seizures.
It also protects our right to be protected from quartering of troops and cruel and unseal punishment, our right to petition, bear arms, have a trial by jury and more.
In other words, if these people had their way and the first ten amendments to the Constitution were repealed, America as we know it would cease to exist.
The most terrifying aspect of the above video is that these are people who can, and probably do, vote, sign petitions and voice their opinion in polls.
This makes polls like the one in June, conducted by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, which found that 66 percent of respondents support the use of drones to kill suspected al Qaeda members and terrorists.
Such a figure was in line with other survey data on drone use. One must hope that many of the respondents were not aware that drones have been used to execute four American citizens without charge or trial, including a 16-year-old boy.
The legal justification for such strikes simply does not exist in the public realm and probably never will thanks to the courts.
Throughout the video Dice keeps repeating the phrase “Bill of Rights,” likely to avoid any claims that the people didn’t really know what they were signing.
Yet some Americans very well might have no clue what the Bill of Rights actually is. Let’s just hope this is ignorance and not disdain for the most basic aspect of America as we know it.
Dice also hilariously mentions the phrase “New World Order” several times.
Recently, Mark Dice also produced a video showing people signing a petition to strip Christians of their right to free speech.
In April, he put out a video of people signing a petition to repeal the first amendment in order to ensure that people “don’t have the right to disagree with Obama.”
