Americans still cling to the idea that this is the land of the free. We're free because we have so much to watch on tv, can have sex with whom ever we want, pornography is legal and so are abortions. The reality is that every day there are more laws. regulations and controls. But, hey, you can watch pornography, your choice of sports or the Kardashian crew. “Who needs direct repression when one can convince the chicken to walk freely into the slaughterhouse?”—Philosopher Slavoj Žižek

RE :”Despite the best efforts of some to sound the alarm, the nation is being locked down into a militarized, mechanized, hypersensitive, legalistic, self-righteous, goose-stepping antithesis of every principle upon which this nation was founded.”

Police state?? More like a Nanny state, like speed cams.

There were five more murders in Baltimore this past weekend.

The thugs who run the city have turned it into a free killing zone.

NYC has been turned over to the criminals also by its mayor.
20 years of cleaning up NYC pissed away (NY Post 7/10/2015)

In CA the cities have been turned over to illegal criminals who are killing legal citizens.

I am glad were I live the police don't allow what is going on in the cities. Obama hasnt stopped them yet.

The author of this article has written several books. I have his most recent. I'm only about 75 pages into it, but it's well written and interesting. Occasionally he seems to slip into some leftist rhetoric when critiquing things like the Patriot Act, but all in all it's a good book so far.

He was outraged by the Boston Marathon Bombing aftermath of military house-to-house searches, as I was.
