You are either gullible or worst if you will see either a Republican or Democratic supporter of Big Government come right out and advocate such things.In other words, when you said that quotes of Bush advocating such things were as prevalent as pictures of the WTC incident, you were full of it.
I didn't quote anything. I simply have heard the various things being "floated" by those in power and the beginning of curtailment of our freedoms is what they are floating.
Putting yourself in the cage will never protect you from anything. It will simply make you easier to find because you are already controlled.
