A police state now???
We...are a police state in your opinion?
ci...you live in an environment that is freer and more open than the citizens of actual police states could even dream about.
We say what we want about our government and its leaders...and we are not carted off to prison.
The Soviet Union was a police state at one time. Imagine saying publicly the things you regularly say about our government and our leader....but saying them about Stalin when he was in power...or the government he lead!
Iraq was a police state at one time. Imagine saying publicly the things you regularly say about our government and our leader....but saying them about Suddam Hussein when he was in power...or the government he lead!
China was a police state at one time. Imagine saying publicly the things you regularly say about our government and our leader....but saying them about Mao when he was in power...or the government he lead!
You scorn our government, ci...and that is your right. But to classify it as a police state is over-the-top...and to suggest we Americans are living in a police state is an insult to people who have actually done so.
