Two years after al Qaeda's assault on America, two years after the Bush-Cheney-Ashcroft axis of absurdity has spent untold billions of our tax dollars to lock down America, do you feel safer? Or, do you feel taken?
Personally, it's not foreign terrorists who scare me. Yes, they can do some bodily harm to us, but they can't take our liberties from us, they can't militarize our society, they can't dim the light of America's democratic beacon, they can't force our people into imperialistic wars to make the world safe for Halliburton, they can't change the essential principles of liberty, justice, and egalitarianism that undergird our nation. But our leaders can... and they are.
What scares me are the homegrown zealots now in high office who are using a veil of patriotism to impose a police-state mentality on our Land of the Free. The BushiteS have had two years to work their will, and it's now time for us to speak bluntly: These people are NUTS! They're also dangerous.
They've shoved us into an undefined and endless war, blindsided us with the scurrilous Patriot Act, opened everything from our bank accounts to our library records to their Orwellian prying, perverted the priorities of our public spending, and insisted that they can operate in
secrecy and above the law – all in the name of stopping terrorism,which actually made a greater threat to us than ever.
The emperor has no clothes. In fact, he's buck naked and butt ugly, and we can no longer be silent in the face of what adds up to a wholesale assault on the true America. Sam Adams, the leader of the Sons of Liberty and the Boston Tea Party, alerted us to this danger a couple of centuries ago: "If ever a time should come when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in government, our country will stand in need of experienced patriots to prevent its ruin."
Now is that time.

The change has been the attitude of the immigrant. In the past they came to stay and make a better life. Now they come to endure, take as much and possible, and then leave.

In essence, they use the USA as some form of workroom to generate "value" and then tranport the "value" home.
