Act Patriot

The Patriot Act is quickly become the stepping stone to further demolition of our liberties. It won't be long before we are as restricted as the Germans were, it will just be a slower processes. Bush has two more years, and at his current rate, can do much much more damage. Recently a bill was passed to allow CIA black bagging and secret prisons of people defined as terrorists. Where is this defined? In the USA Patriot Act. In that act, US citizens can be deemed as domestic terrorists. So guess what, the Patriot Act has already lead to us becoming more like the movie V for Vendetta. Its coming people, and we let it happen and continue to let it happen. How dead and blind do you have to be to allow this to keep getting worse and worse? How bad does it have to get before people see the light? I'll let you know when people revolt against the government.

Patriot Act History & Civil Business Politics

Konqererz has a good point, unfortunately it's a fear that the "authorities" have already realised and begun to prepare for. You can already be told when and where you can protest, is that any different from being told what you can protest?
If you join in a protest you get to face off against a civilian law enforcement agency that carries weapons banned for civilian use. You get gassed and beat on if a person 4 blocks away decides to break a window. Not to mention that you are told that you have to have a permit to exercise your right to gather. It's a wonder that there hasn't been a million man march to run some politicians out of office. It's no wonder that all of our soldiers are kept over seas because they would never stand against their own families. That must be why residents of other countries like Mexico can enlist in our armed services under the claim of earning citizenship. Why do we need to keep all of those troops in Europe, they are not heading for a war anytime soon. The facts all point to the realization that this government does not want the people protected because it is the corporate politicians who are the real threat to the people.

I have feared for many years that the USA has become to much like what we seen Germany do. These article just confirm it for me. I fear the purpose and power of the large corporations that rule the States are getting far out of control and might one day soon represent a real threat to any that would oppose their views. I am glad the courts ruled in Brandon favour as I think it shows that the States if the people chose can reverse some of the damage that has been done.

Why do they not pull troops back home and out of the countries that do not wish them to be "helping". Especially any where they are that is not UN sanctioned. I think in some ways I respected Hitler much more than Bush as he was more forthright in his manner. He told the world what he was doing and did it. Bush says we are do this or that but in reality the underlying factors that motivate are not what he states in public and often the actions he states that the USA Armies will be doing are also a false hood or perhaps better said a 1/4 truth. The rest he just never spoke of in any of his public announcements.

I fear for my countries depravation will only follow that of the USA. I am sure we will cave in it is just a matter of how long it takes.

Wow! What a statement! I would like to elaborate on that as it is HIGHLY controversial, BUT I will start a New Thread for it where you can further your opinion. Look for it.

As for the act, we have something similar in my country where the police can basically enter your home if they 'feel like it', to me that is way too far and above the basic rules of a right to privacy. There must be grounds for invading someone's home, because it is after all his castle.
