Bowing to the Police State

[movie zombie]

"Like the proverbial frog in slowly boiling water, we have become inured to what goes on in the name of national security. Recent disclosures about increased government surveillance and illegal activities would be shocking, were it not for the prevailing outrage-fatigue brought on by a long train of abuses. But the heads of the civilian, democratically elected institutions that are supposed to be our bulwark against an encroaching police state, the ones who stand to lose their own power as well as their rights and the rights of all citizens, aren’t interested in reigning in the power of the intelligence establishment."

"When the writers of the Constitution envisioned a separation of powers to ensure checks and balances in our government, they were relying on the leaders of those branches to fight to maintain their own power within the system. Fresh from the struggle against King George, they could not have predicted that some of our leaders would voluntarily sign away their own rights to another George who would be king."

it would appear that the US Constitution and Bill of Rights is merely another outdated piece of paper.

I do not know what the FY07 Intelligence Authorization Act stands for. Is FY07 "Fiscal Year 2007"?

nothing to see here move one....
go back to sleep like a good lil froggie, feel how nice the warm water is.
There ya go take a nap.
aint that nice now.
yes it is , now just ignore us while we install microphones and cameras in every room in you house.
Btw better watch out for the toilet paper police our records indicate you bought 2 extra rolls last month.
That means your using more than the allowed 2 sheets or using more than your allowed 3 per day toilet flushes.
Dont worry if you not committing any crimes the cameras and microphones are harmless.

Btw did you hear about the methane gas reduction act where its illegal to pass gas more than twice a day and its a felony and you lose all your rights?
