Ever wonder about this?

"Americans have been losing the protection of law for years. In the 21st century the loss of legal protections accelerated with the Bush administration's "war on terror," which continues under the Obama administration and is essentially a war on the Constitution and U.S. civil liberties."

Lol. We should be locked up because we want to defend ourselves from whack jobs as in that story the link goes to. Yeah I don't think we are the ones who should be looked at as weird then.

If you're right, then you're a true and brave patriot for posting the truth. Yours will be a great sacrifice for liberty. How long do you think you have until you're dragged out of your house and imprisoned or perhaps summarily executed? A week, a day, mere hours? I'll pray for you during the trying times sure to befall you for this glorious act of defiance.

I think people get this idea that pre 20th century America, people were being killed all the time, because of the lack of police.

This is far from the truth. Most people who lived back then died of natural causes, and most interactions with people were pleasant. That was with very few police officers, very few laws, and small government.

I don't know why we can't go back to a older style society. People weren't that different then we were today. If cops said that tomorrow is "no arrest day" and whatever you did on that day, you wouldn't be arrested for, most people wouldn't do anything out of the normal.

Now terrorism is the new thing, before it was the war on drugs, then before that it was the war on crime, etc...

Its always a war on something that they use to take away my freedom, and monitor my movements, and what I'm doing. If I'm not hurting anyone, no one should care about what I'm doing. The odds of being killed by a terrorist, is less than being hit by lightning. Sure, I don't outside during a thunderstorm, but I don't cower in fear in my house all the time either.

The people who should have been on trial are the people who abducted her, disappeared her young children, shipped her across international borders, violated her civil liberties, tortured her apparently for the fun of it, raped her, and attempted to murder her with two gunshots to her stomach. Instead, the victim was put on trial and convicted.
This is the unmistakable hallmark of a police state. And this victim is an American citizen.

Anyone can be next.

**********************
Like Obama, for example. Richard Gere...perhaps. Iron Mike Tyson. Ronald McDonald. The FLying nun, and Betty White.

I wonder it you can disappeared a cat. Or a house. As in, "They disappeared her house and a cat." "Then they disappeared the people who did the disappeared."

That article is full of win.
