Do Americans feel like their liberty is under attack by their own government? If not, they should, because it's happening.

It's essentially just like the "Patriot" Act passing except now it happens far more often just slid into other bills.

I have not flown in 10 years - not because of fear of terrorists but because of fear of my own government. I think people are crazy to be visiting this country, they just do not understand what they are risking if they even jokingly say the wrong thing to the wrong person.
