FBI wants warrantless, suspicionless searches.

Wow I'm sure glad I don't live in the states right now.

I'm sure America's founding fathers would throw a fit about nothing being done about this. Tea costs too much and they start a revolution, the FBI gets the ability to pull searches and spy on a whim and you probably won't see as a much as an organized protest.

We should have an O/T subsection for all the reasons this country is going to E36 M3 just so that maybe we can present it to congress in a nice Powerpoint format that will allow the 'tards in power to understand.

In addition to this, I recall failing school systems, 24 hour curfews being ok, and parents expecting the government to do the parenting thing for them...

I know I'm missing a bunch of stuff.

Bob Costas.

War on drugs War on terrorism Think of the children Etc

Americans don't care. As long as they think it'll keep them safe, they will support this.

Safety above all else, especially liberty. Better a well kept pet than a wild animal.

he's the guy in charge and leading all this fervor.

Educate me. Tell me otherwise and how it dosen't lead to him.

If Bush didn't nominate Attorney General Michael Mukasey Then who did?

Five more months and we'll be rid of all of this rubbish.

Can't deny that Bush's Administration has been responsible for domestic spying, the creation of the TSA, Prison camps full of people who have never seen a courtroom, etc. A bunch of new steps in the direction of tyranny. More than almost any time in our history.

The Constitution is currently in tatters.

I do blame Bush as does 75% of the country if not more.

Internment camps anyone?

In 1861 George Bush suspended Habeas Corpus.

What do folks expect from the administration of a former Texas governor?

Texas, the state where criminals of any marginal mental capacity are executed.

I've been watching vintage Mission Impossible and Twilight Zone episodes recently. I would like to see Dick Cheney "hustled" a la Mission Impossible into a plastic surgeon's office where his face and fingerprints are "swapped" for those of a notorious, yet uncharged, "terrorist" and then he's "released" near some Iraqi military checkpoint. In other words, put him in the same place he's put many other people...some guilty and some innocent.

So wait, because we did something rotten 70 years ago (camps) or 130 years ago (habeus corpus) it's OK to do it now?

Nope, just responding to the earlier post claiming things are worse than they have every been.

I am just waiting for the "attack" that will allow Bush to declair a state of emergancy so they can suspend the election and leave him in office indefinetly

Internment camps...

Shhhhhh!

Don't bring that up- FDR was a Democrat!

Oh, I ment John McCain. Sorry, they're so alike it's easy to get them confused!

What about Cheney? We all know he is a cyborg so he could also be a time traveling cyborg. I really have nothing useful to contribute here.

All I have to say is hang low and wait, prepared. The threat isn't a nuke dropped by a foreign country; the threat is being detained for no reason other than they feel like it. I'm as left winged as they come, and hell, I'm considering a firearm purchase in the near future. I know it doesn't really do anything, but hell, it couldn't hurt.

If you read the /. replies, there's a lot of bright minded people in there that seem to see an uprising coming. I'm starting to become one of them. The Mayan calendar thing kind of weirds me out, too. The whole signs of a change for the worse. The Final Destination book(s) that center around a carismatic leader sweeping the nation (Obama). There's just way too many things not sitting right with me. And honestly, I'm losing sleep over it.

Over the past year or two, I've been seeing things like this. Always fringe media reporting it, but usually from credible resources. It's making me want to do something about it, but one person can't do anything. Getting a group together is surely going to bring the attention of the FBI, and would quickly be "dealt with." We're enterring a totalitarian state, and there's nothing we can do until everybody gets fed up with it and takes up arms in mass numbers.

Most civilizations fail after several hundered years. We're close to the end of that mark. America needs a clean sweep. Companies restructure all the time and come out as much more efficient and many times less "evil." This is what the entire government needs.
