interesting you quoted Hitler.
So are you saying the US govt leaders are acting like Hitler?
and what freedoms have you lost since 911. How has the Patriot Act really impacted you?
I guess you haven't noticed that advocates of freedom and rights to bear arms, and even "preppers" are being labeled "terrorists"....?
I quoted Hitler because you asked for some clarification of my concerns, and that particular quote is so applicable.
"erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.”
"the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed" - you are proof of this...
"until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.” At the height of the Iraq war US military used about 6 million rounds of ammo per month. DHS has made ammo purchases totaling 2 billion rounds of hollow points for "training". You don't use hollow points for training. Are we nearing the point where those changes cannot be reversed? Changes you are obviously not aware of - and we have all this phony "terrorism" that you have bought hook line and sinker to thank for it. The patriot act just got the ball rolling on dismantling the constitution. By itself, if they had not continued in that direction, it would be relatively harmless - so they now allow illegal wiretaps. Big deal - doesn't affect me.
HOWEVER, the patriot act paved the way for other things like the NDAA. Does mike2810 know he can be arrested and indefinitely detained without trial, no right to an attorney, and no 3 phone calls under a clause in the NDAA that has a deliberate vagueness to it when it comes to persons covered? California acknowledges and is trying to pass a bill protecting its citizens:
NDAA Nullification Bill Headed to Floor of California State Senate
The president and leon panetta have decided they no longer need the permission of congress to go to war. THEY DECIDED THAT and informed congress.
