Land of the Free??

It's been a while since my last post. I've been on vacation and enjoying the nice weather. I am watching a show on Court TV called: The ACLU freedom files. It is reminding me just how badly the neo-conservatives in power are destroying our civil liberties. Library books, emails, web sites, customers info, etc etc. They are systematically raping America. It is sickening what is happening in Washington D.C. these days. The worst part is, most Americans have NO CLUE how bad the bill of rights has been trampled. I blame that on the democrats and legitimate conservatives in congress. People are being whisked away in the middle of the night and illegally deported for having had aquaintances in Pakistan years ago, before they even moved to America, who are SUPPOSEDLY "connected" to terrorism. The word connected is being used to arrest anyone of Arab descent. This is unbelievable that the country is allowing this to happen. Shady men in black coats can now legally creep into your house when you're not home and search the place, read your computer files and check your internet usage, read emails, snail mail, and anything else they can find. Not only can they do this, but they can leave just as quietly as they came in, and never tell you about it. They can legally steal fromn you w/out telling you who took your belongings. I wonder how many families out there are scared to death because their house was broken into by a "burglar" when it was really our wonderful government. The FBI and the CIA can now pretty much do whatever they want in the name of "fighting terror". They are allowed to do all this investigating w/out even checking w/ anyone outside of their own agency. That is scary!! If we let the police and investigators always decide who they can go after w/ no limitations, this country would be a VERY different place. It's not that they're bad people who wanna go after innocent people, but they would end up doing that. Why not? If they're wrong, they can go after the next guy. It could end up being a country where suspects are chosen using process of elimination. That's a scary thought. WE NEED TO WAKE UP. This country is headed somewhere where I know we don't wanna go.
