You Are No Longer Free To Move About the Country

Janet Napolitano said last month that we should expect to soon see tighter restrictions at bus, train, and marine transportation centers, too. Here's a report about TSA, Border Patrol, and local police setting up a checkpoint at a Greyhound station in Tampa. Note how quickly preventing a possible terrorist attack expands to include catching illegal immigrants, and preventing drug and what sounds like "cash smuggling." (It's hard to tell from the audio.) Note also the complete and utter reverence the local news report bestows on these government agencies, who after all are merely "teaming up to keep your family safe."

crosstembers,”security” has nothing to do with it. Controlling and conditioning the sheep to obey orders without questioning has everything to do with it.And the sheep, a/k/a, slaves are embracing it with open arms. I never thought that I would be alive when the people would embrace slavery with so much enthusistacly.

When I think of the suffering and sacrifices our Founding Fathers and our Fighting Men and Women made so we could live as a free people and then see it all given away on one day, November 4, 2008, I get sick.

But that is the way the cookie crumbles. I don’t like it,but, who cares what I like or don’t like. Except me.

They are not looking for “terrorists”. They are conditioning the sheep and showing the slaves who the master is.

I got back from a deployment just in time for the last bit of campaigning and the elections in 2008; here’s what I wrote upon returning:

>>Some of Obama's advisers are telling him to ignore congress, and rule by decree.<<

He should be sure to wear bullet proof attire 24/7 if he wants to become a dictator. There's a whole lot of ex servicemen on the East Coast who would jump in their cars/trucks and encircle the White House.

"WHAT IS A PATRIOT?"

PATRIOTS are not "Revolutionaries" trying to overthrow the government of the United States.

PATRIOTS are "Counter-Revolutionaries" trying to prevent the government of the United States from overthrowing the Constitution of the United States. - Unknown Author

What brings the PATRIOTS out of the woodwork?

When the constitutional process, the system of checks and balances set up by the Founders, has not just been thrown out of kilter, it has been thrown out the window. These socialist maneuvers are what attracts PATRIOTS to the streets of America.

In short, are you, the American people, worth my blood, sweat, and tears? Should any police officer, marine, soldier, or seaman give their life for you? Do you want your God-given rights, or are you willing to surrender even those enumerated in our Constitution? You tell me… once, I thought that the answer was a resounding ‘Yes!’ but now I am unsure. I am unconvinced that you even want what liberty you have

I never thouht that I would live to see the day, but from what I have seen, read, and heard, the answers to your questions are: Question number one,no.

Question number two, no.

Question number three, Yes.

Some still want their liberty, whether they are willing to do what it takes to keep it remain yet to be seen. The majority, as evidenced by their votes, don't. They prefer "free" healthcare or some other "freebie". Thet are too sorry to work and too nervious to steal, so, they elect politicians to steal for them.

When I look back to what we once were as a Nation and see what we have become, I get sick. .

For the prehensile mind, that exposes the whole DHS as the farce it is at best, the device for the suppression of the population at worst.
