You can ban people from traveling in the US based on their name???

[The Straight Story]

Think about that for a minute. No-fly lists. In America?

The government can take your home based on allegations, raid your home and remove the things you worked for without you ever being proven guilty of something?

You can be arrested and detained via terrorism laws and not get a phone call?

The government can listen in on your calls without a warrant.

And the list goes on and on and on.

Who is watching the watcher? Why can't we force the government to give us the same info they want from us? Why must we file lengthy tax forms and explain every penny while they simply say things like 'we spent a trillion on defense but we won't tell you specifics'?

When and how did our rights slip away and how do we get them back? What ever happened to freedom in this country?

And it is not just during the bush regime, freedom has been slipping away for many years. Who is fighting for us?

The government watches your money, your income, they watch your bank accounts, your phone calls, emails, postings, and so on.

Is that freedom???

1. They originally instituted some of this crap

to prosecute the drug war. Since most of us let them get away with it then, it's not much of a stretch to assume we'll let them get away with it now.

2. You are just having a bad nightmare, When you wake up

Bill Clinton will still be president with the Republicans simply seeking his impeachment for engaging in oral sex rather than slaughtering thousands of people all over the world and liquidating the US Constitution.

3. It's george's version of "freedom".

5. How about those Broncos, eh?

They just can't seem to beat Manning.

if you aren't a terrorist criminal who is doing something "wrong," you have nothing to worry about.

Well, almost nothing.

Okay, you should be freaked out and pissed off.

Democrats will raise your taxes.

Umm, never mind.
