            It will never fully become a police state.

            And it's not right now, although many laws and practices are immoral to me

                A country run by Democracy can't be referred as a Policed State in full. Unfortunately The U.S. government adopts a majority of Policed State's rules and regulations.

                    i live in a rural farm community, I got pulled over for factory window tint friday night. Every time i go fishing a game warden is in my face. snowmobiling same thing. They tell me i can't play poker bet on sports, or smoke cigarettes in the bar that i own. The police no longer need a reason to pull people over here, "mod squad" "dwi enforcment zone" "safe and sober" these are all times when they need no reason at all to search you. Soon every day they will have a "reason" you should be pulled over. What happend to this country? When did the nation get castrated?

                            Unless you have plans to run for office and effect change, then prepare to spend the rest of your life bitching and crying about it like the sheep that spend all day listening to FOX News, MSNBC, Rush, etc., and nodding their heads up and down.

                                  And there will always be weak people in this country and mostly due to all the Goverment Aid such as Welfare that gets dished out. And this is exactly the way the Goverment wants it..

                                  When the Goverment dangles that carrot such as an ebt card or welfare check over people's heads, them people on the receiving end are willing to sell their souls to the devil just to keep the good life..

                                    We are all being slowly suffocated by OUR Goverment. The evidence is everywhere you look..

                                        If you starts a thread with "Poll:" you should probably put a poll in it.

                                        Also, yeah, you definitely don't know what a police state is. Go hang out in North Korea for a few months son.

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

                                          Yup, America's a police state. I'm sure people in North Korea, Cuba, and a handful of other countries around the world would agree with this statement. I'm sure they don't envy our freedoms. Nope. No we sure do have it bad here.

                                            maybe a better question is "are we occupied by israel"
                                            by occupation i mean control of our money system, our politicians (every one of them has to be a lapdog for israel before getting elected), and our media (run by dual citizens of israel, except rupert murdoch who is just as much of a zionist as they are)

                                            also, occupation of our military - notice how all the innocent countries we invade and occupy are enemies of israel? and yes i call iraq, pakistan, and afghanistan innocent since no person from any of those countries ever attacked or threatened us.

                                              craig so if cuba (and iran and venezuela) are so bad then why even in poverty striken nations do over 80% of their people approve of their government? and in the wealthiest country in the world (u.s.) only 10-20% of the people approve of congress and roughly 30% of the president?

                                              keep drinking the kool-aid craig, the rest of us are waking up to the propaganda machine that is the u.s. mainstream media. why else would we approve of attacking people BEFORE they even threaten us, unless we've been constantly brainwashed to think of innocent men, women, and children as evil?

                                                anyone ever receive a traffic ticket in the mail because a camera caught them supposedly running a red light?

                                                ever think that kind of stuff would happen in a *free* country?

                                                    I know what a police state is, nazi germany took rights away slowly and now the us is doing the same thing.

                                                      and monty also don't forget where the term "nazi" comes from, the ashkenazi jews.
                                                      so all the jews telling you how bad the nazis were won't tell you that they were the nazis.

                                                          This time, the companies are enforcing their will over the US. At least that's what I see from outside. Money talks.
