If you, gentlemen, really want “to see US politics from another angle” (We get signal)

If you, gentlemen, really want to see US politics from another angle, compare it with politics of present-day totalitarian regimes in Central Asia, for instance. And youll realize that there are practically no differences for our democratic state and e.g. authoritarian government in Turkmenistan. Its common knowledge that Turkmen authorities abridge liberty of speech, freedom of the press, exercising control over mass and I-net. They bow down, imposing restrictions on freedom of association and assembly, in order to curtail political activity of non-governmental organizations, including groups of religious minorities. Nijazov does it with the aim of exercising control over latitude in religion. Turkmen powers are also interested in restriction of movement freedom and freedom of migration. But is that so only in Turkmenistan? Can you see the same things in our life after adopting notorious Patriotic Act? Nobody can deny the fact that America has changed greatly after 9/11 attack, because Bush administration forced us to believe in the necessity of great curtailment of democratic liberties and even restrictions of personal freedoms. But only few people are able to understand that in reality the main goal of it is non-admission of our governments criticism and returning to totalitarian power (just the same as existing in far Turkmenistan, for example).

One main difference here is that we have the 2nd amendment.

I know. All the mosques in my state have been shut down. (Well - not really, but the small "Bible is the Word" church three blocks away was set fire to last week).
