Question: What has EVERY modern dictator beginning with Napolean Bonaparte had at his disposal ?

Answer: A NATIONAL police force !

A National Police is as dangerous to freedom and liberty as a Standing Army the Writers of the Constitution warned against 250 years ago.

Question: What has EVERY modern dictator beginning with Napolean Bonaparte had at his disposal?

Every dictator also ate food and breathed air.

Can you name one country that does not have a national police force? No, because they all have one. Are they all dictatorships?

The FBI was created for very good reasons. Local law enforcment is great, but some things require a national police force.

What the hell are you worried about? That the FBI will find out you checked out "Huckleberry Finn"?

I'm sure they would not be interested, but a guy named Mohammed Arafat, who checks out a book about nuclear waste, or a book about anthrax, could be a valuable lead.

Many of you here on FR can't or won't face the fact that this country is in a struggle for its very existence. Many of you would prefer that we cease to exist, than to forfeit one little freedom.

Our constitution will be worthless if we fail to overcome those who plan to destroy us.
