But, but, but......I thought that’s what the ‘readers’ at the Guardian want????
Note to Guardian: Please work on your OWN country that has implemented ‘Big Brother’......then give me a call. KTHNXBAI.
Of course the common garden variety are a real threat via the bite only if they have rabies.
Pretty soon they’ll be making surprise inspections of businesses and homes! Don’t believe me? Just watch.
As long as we have free and fair elections, I'm not sure you can call America a police state, even if the police are temporarily out of control.
Now if one party managed to get hold of both parties and the press and nominate only liberal candidates, and it was almost impossible for a third party to run against them, then ....
Yep, you can call us a police state.
The State Department just said that the War on Terror is over. We no longer need the TSA, DHS or the Patriot Act.
Let me just say for the record: Bush’s fault.
Of course, this is the one area that the Obama administration is reluctant to give away credit for.
Presidents Bush, Clinton, and Papa Bush need to take Obama aside and tell him to cool it on the totalitarian sh*t... We’re not some creepy third world African dictatorship. After 9/11 measures were taken to protect citizens... but it’s time to back off now...
“And remember to be respectfully submissive to any TSA agents or police you encounter in your travels, especially now that the US supreme court has ruled mass strip-searches are acceptable for anyone arrested for even the most minor offence in America.”
Why isn’t this a major campaign issue? Could it be both sides are interested in control of average folks?
The TSA is the most under-reported, and if Obama remains, this agency will be the most dangerous phenomena in this country’s history.
The tsa/will be armed and turned against the American people. Military won’t. These people enjoy doing what they do to people. That’s where the 450 million rounds of jhp 40 Cal are going.
Consider we go through about 70 million rounds a year in Afghanistan. Now figure how long 450 million rounds will last tsa, FBI, IRS, dea, batfe against us citizens.
“Can I call America a police state now, without being accused of hyperbole?”
Yes.
TSA needs to be abolished.
We need to do what Israel does and actually use profiling to look for terrorist instead of stripping grannies and putting children through porn scanners.
What is the Republican Leadership doing about this out of control TSA agency???
