.#1) A new bill being pushed by Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman would allow the U.S. military to round up large numbers of Americans and detain them indefinitely without a trial if they “pose a threat” or if they have “potential intelligence value” or for any other reason the President of the United States “considers appropriate”.

#2) Lawmakers in Washington D.C. working to create a new immigration bill have decided on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would be required to obtain.

#3) Barack Obama is backing a plan to create a national database to store the DNA of people who have been arrested but not necessarily convicted of a crime.

#4) Just to get on an airplane, Americans will now have to go through new full-body scanners that reveal every detail of our exposed bodies to airport security officials.

#5) If that wasn’t bad enough, the Transportation Security Administration has announced that airport screeners will begin roving through airports randomly taking chemical swabs from passengers and their bags to check for explosives.

#6) Starting this upcoming December, some passengers on Canadian airlines flying to, from or even over the United States without ever landing there, will only be allowed to board their flights once the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has determined they are not terrorists.

#7) Organic milk is such a threat that the FDA has been conducting military style raids on Amish farmers in Pennsylvania.

#8) An NYPD officer has broken his silence and has confessed that innocent citizens are being set up and falsely arrested and ticketed in order to meet quotas.

#9) A growing number of police departments across the U.S. are turning to mobile camera systems in order to fight motor vehicle theft and identify unregistered cars.

#10) For decades, Arizona has been known as “the sunset state”, but lately many frustrated residents have started calling it “the surveillance state”.

#11) Judges and police in Florida have been caught using “secret codes” on tickets in the state of Florida.

#12) An extensive investigation has revealed that between 2003 and 2007, that state of Texas quietly gave hundreds of newborn baby blood samples to a U.S. Armed Forces laboratory for use in a forensics database.

#13) A 6-year-old girl was recently handcuffed and sent to a mental facility after throwing temper tantrums at her elementary school.

#14) One 12-year-old girl in New York was recently arrested and marched out of her school in handcuffs just because she doodled on her desk.

#15) In Florida, students have been arrested by police for things as simple as bringing a plastic butter knife to school, throwing an eraser, and drawing a picture of a gun.


#16) When a mother on a flight to Denver spanked both of her children and cussed out a flight attendant who tried to intervene, she suddenly found herself handcuffed and headed for prison. Why? She was charged with being a domestic terrorist under the Patriot Act.

#17) A new global treaty may force U.S. Internet service providers to spy on what you do online.

#18) A leaked Obama administration memo has revealed plans for the federal government to seize more than 10 million acres of land from Montana to New Mexico.

#19) 56 percent of Americans questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll said that the U.S. government has become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens.

#20) But one other recent poll found that 51 percent of Americans agree with this statement: ”It is necessary to give up some civil liberties in order to make the country safe from terrorism.”

"Those who would sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither."

    • WTF 51 percent of americans think It is necessary to give up some civil liberties in order to keep the country safe from terrorism.
      It doesn't seem that anyone that thinks Dick Cheney is wrong is making their case they just let Dick get away with what ever he want's. People are so stupid
      did giving up civil liberties Keep us safe from the DC sniper did it stop the shoe bomber from getting on a plane did it stop the anthrax attacks did it stop that attack on a military in 2003 did it Stop an attack on US Embassy in Iraq in 2008

      Thank you. Apparently 51% of Americans are idiots... Ben Franklin had an interesting quote on the subject

      “Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security”

    • Fear mongering?? I suggest you just start listing the agencies with police Power on the Federal, State, County, and city level. Start with the Secret Service, FBI, DEA, ATF, CIA, Immigration and Customs, Blackwater, Army, Navy, Marine and Airforce, Secret hitmen, on the state level; The state troopers, Game commissions, Fish and wildlife. National guard, County level; County police, City level; City police. Its like, we have church's for every ten people. We have too much police and religion and not enough truth seekers and honest news media. We need a citizenry that can think for themselves. There is more police power, but I do not have access to the list.

      Poor little lady! She wrote "I love my friends Abby and Faith," and "Lex was here. 2/1/10." IN ERASABLE MARKER!

      A family court judge assigned Gonzalez Tuesday to eight hours of community service, a book report and an essay
      about what she has learned.

      The punishment is fine and dandy but HANDCUFFS...wtf.

    • Timetide.... perhaps you would feel different if you should be one of those arrested and jailed indefinitely just to fill a quota and later moved to an out of the way camp or prison.

      Exactly. The same people who call the government inefficient and unable to provide health care for all are the same people who want to limit privacy laws to imporve security. Bunch of idiots and hypocrites.

    • junk, more junk, slightly accurate but bent to the breaking point junk. I really don't see anything of value in this gibberish.

    • This trend started decades ago under Johnson and then Nixon. At that time though many of these new-found Presidential powers were still illegal and thus any operations conducted to deliberately violate a citizen's rights were covert.

      Nowadays, regardless of the party in office, it seems our government has adopted the "by any means necessary" approach in the name of security to maintain their stranglehold on power.

      This isn't about being paranoid or gobbling up crackpot Glenn Beck gibberish, it is about realizing that we have been losing rights and privacy at an alarming rate over the last half century in this country. These are just the examples that have been publicized. I would be more concerned about the devil we don't know.

      And the quote is one variation on something Franklin oft said.
