Even under the WORST conditions of the patriot act:
Unbridled phone tapping without permission
masked and government controlled media
Cameras at every street corner, facial recognition
no-knock search warrants
unexplained random searches
Parcel and Package searches
Public searches
record locking
and internet censorship and tracking....
.... Look no further than the UK, France, Spain, Japan, China, Mexico, all Norwegian countries, Italy, Germany, All eastern bloc countries, Russia, Australia, New Zealand.... The list goes on.
This new form of enforcement is lightly becoming like the rest of these foul countries, and that is something I am not happy about. But everyone in the US has been SCREAMING to be more like Europe and Asia, with their free healthcare, "equal opportunities(HA)" and superior methods.
Fuck that. America is still the freest place on earth.
And if I recall correctly, it's the democrats and loonies that want to go door to door taking firearms away from citizens....
And since you guys seem to operate on catch phrases and oblique statements - Choke on this one: "The only people that fear an armed populace are Tyrants and Criminals"
