I am amazed that anyone in their right mind could still think that the US is a free country.

Well, it's turning into something like that of Nazi Germany, but softcore.

Only during the Clinton years did we get a grasp of the impending U.S. police state, something that not even George Orwell could have dreamed of. He'd be salivating in his grave by now.

then leave jerk.

You are part of the problem or part of the solution. Take a beating when it comes your way or you are just a piece of trash that passes it on to someone better than you are.

I have warned all in our family to look out for city, county and state law enforcement, because they are looking to increase the revenue stream right now. State, County, City coffers are going broke, so they have to use force of law to confiscate the funds they need to justify their bureaucracy.
My daughter got a so called $20 cell phone ticket for punching the answer/speaker phone button at a stop light and rookie LEO pulled her over... interrogated her... including questions such as: “have you ever been arrested?”... uh NO...”are you sure”... uh, yeah I think I would remember that...”Have you ever committed a felony”... uh... I think I just told you I have never been arrested...

Ticket is not $20. It is packed with “FEES” Total for ticket with court fees is $180!
Just imagine if you are out of work and cannot pay that! It will quickly become a $1500 obligation! They are gunning for us... you better believe it! It’s the bureaucrats (Government employees) against the rest of us, who are not so blessed by Obama.

The founding fathers went to war to seek liberty from oppression that is miniscule compared to what we suffer each and every day from all levels of government.
