Our government, defending your rights by taking them away...

Found this report of gestapo-like tactics via This Modern World.

I guess this "Patriot" Act was only the next step that was bound to come no matter who was in the whitehouse. Storm troopers have been invading homes and seizing property in the name of the drug war for years. Now they just have another reason. Every time I see one of those documentaries on a commercial educational channel that shows cops smashing in private residences I am sickened. Just keep you nose clean if you know what's good for you. Just wait until the next big domestic terrorist act, the we'll all be screwed. Then truly only the powerful, er, I mean, the innocent need not be afraid.
