I had no problem with the Patriot Act, as far as Im concerned, those who truley believed that the government is listening to them whispering sweet nothings to there girlfriends are right up there with the UFO loonies. If your not discussing bomb building then they didnt care less about your phone calls to grandma.
And start another thread if you really want to rehash Iraq because your statement above is right off the script from last weeks "The View"..
If Bush ever pushed a policy to have a federal police force I would have been calling him on it too.

Bro, the point is, this was already in works long before Obama. Obama's just the man of the hour who's going with one of the plans that's been discussed for the past few years. Things like this weren't just thought up yesterday by the Obama Administration. Plus consider how much many of these agency heads have been pressuring the White House to streamline their domestic security and law enforcement processes since 9/11. Obama isn't the only one pushing this agenda. This has been in the works and has been supported by many high level agency heads since 9/11.
Scotty my bro... the word "alarmist" comes to mind. But... I do see your concern. I think there needs to be some definite checks and balances to this so as to not give a President or the Pentagon too much power on the domestic front. We'll have to see how it all unfolds.
