Actually here on the West Coast, I think that under our left wing governors, legislators, city mayors and councils, our local government may be more dangerous to us than the feds.

There is a FR thread about a kali local school board requiring kids to become Muslims for 3 weeks after 9/11. One of our nice female freepers had a big rant against the federal government and schools. I sent her a reply suggesting that she read the thread again as the Feds had nothing to do with this. It was purely local level.

The local Enviral Nazi Nannies are pushing a local petition to supposedly preserve the trees, the birdies and our muddy Napa River. The reality is that they want to take over farms, vineyards and homeowner's land and turn them into Druid Sanctuaries.

These Nannies are not working for the UN Blue Helmeted Devils, the evil feds, or even Gray Davis. They are just local brown shirted Enviral Nazis trying to seize land that doesn't belong to them.

Local officials are only dangerous because local people don't pay any attention to their threatening actions. They have no concept of civics and many don't even have a clue as to our multi-level govenmental systems or what each is responsible, or should be responsible to the people for.

This discussion probably doesn't belong on this thread, but it just cracks me up that people get so excited about some exterior threat and think it is so much more potent than the threat from within. It's all enemies of our Constitution, foreign AND DOMESTIC!!! Mc Carthy was more right than wrong. It's just that he had no class and was crass! Besides, people don't equate sudden death with the enemies of freedom from within. It's slow death instead.

Trite, but true... "Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom!" (still) This terror war is way worse than the cold war ever was!
