This Orwellian talk is nothing but a bunch of hooey

Norm, Norm, Norm...

First it was military tribunals. When sh_t hit the fan over that, the administration swore that this was NEVER for US citizens.

A few weeks later, Padilla, a US citizen, is held purportedly for military tribunal. When the heat came down for that, it was changed to simply holding him indefinately without charging him with a crime.

Under the Patriot Act, anyone who meets some very subjective criteria can be denied all rights due a citizen because the DoJ simply has to declare him a potential terrorist.

It won't be today, tomorrow, or next month, but soon there will be more an more people and groups who will be included in the definition of Enemy of the State. And it may very well be anyone and everyone affiliated with any group whose members or participants do not fully and unequivocably support the President's agenda. And since FR has critics of the President, and YOU are affiliated with FR, YOU could be included. Innocent, you say? Prove it.

Thanks for the Heads Up .. I didn't realize we were so close to the edge of the abyss of no return.. Methinks it doesn;t matter as citizens have always been expendable and it has been the Constitution and the Republic which must endure all enemies and foes foreign and domestic lest we all should perish.

Those who fear the loss of their freedom, shouldn't let the small stuff upset 'em. What haPPens, haPPens.
