Q. Who is watching the watchmen? A. No one. The Patriot Act just legalized what some agencies have been doing for years. The boys (and girls)have the hi-tech toys, and they will use them. Unfortunately, this abuse isn't limited to only federal agencies, but has worked its way down to the local level. For an example of the lack of any effective checks and balances, please see: http://www.governmentsurveillanceandyou.blogspot.com .

We are no longer citizens, we're all suspects, and are treated as such by LEOs at every level, in every encounter. Land of the Free my a**.

I'm their worst nightmare. I'm against illegal immigration, benefits, pro 2nd admendment, support states rights and believe the feds are extraconstitutional in their power and scope according to the 10th admendment. You can come for me now. You already know where I live. The census dude GPS-ed my house. Guns will be handed over BULLETS FIRST.

Please, nothing is cruel for Ms.Janet Napolitano. In fact, she is the cruel one and was as Governor of Arizona where she fought residents tooth and nail to make immigration laws void. She should step down, she doesn't have the citizenries best interests at heart. Period.

We are still stuck in the playground and the bullies, snoops and snitches are being empowered by the psychopaths in government. Read "Political Ponerology," by Lobaczewski. This pattern always leads to Hell on Earth and a terrorized populace.
