The Police State of America

There is a lot of talk these days about what Obama can do for us, should do for us, or whether he is a good president or not. People who favor Obama happily talk about civil rights that he is supporting. Of course, in the same breath they will talk about all the terrible things that Bush did by taking away our rights and the like. According to Jonathan Turley and others, Obama prefers to reinforce all of his terrible violations of fundamental rights. It seems then, that Obama really doesn't care much for the civil rights of the people after all. What good is free healthcare if you live in Gestapo-like slavery? What good is racial diversity if all citizens are enslaved by the government proporting to save them? Here's the summary list of policies and violations that Obama continues to perpetuate:

  • Assassination of U.S. citizens
  • Indefinite detention
  • Arbitrary justice
  • Warrantless searches
  • Secret evidence
  • War crimes
  • Secret court
  • Immunity from judicial review
  • Continual monitoring of citizens
  • Extraordinary renditions
