Here we go. The Democrats waste no time pushing through Bush Administration recommendations that further the police state in America.
How gullible are we folks? Are will really that naive that we cannot see what is happening here? MSM of course spins this as a blow to Bush - give me a break.
H.R.1 is a push for high tech surveillance of Americans where we are all al Qaeda suspects!
H.R. 1 outlines the following:
- Dept. of Homeland Security identity checkpoints on roads and highways;
- Mandated biometric iris and finger scanning systems for all Americans at airports;
- Creation of a biometric national ID card for all American citizens;
- Expansion of "no-fly" and "watch lists" to prevent more Americans from traveling (even though such lists have been ridiculed time and time again for flagging completely innocent people including Senators and children);
- Increased special screening of all passengers at airports;
- Federal takeover of publicly owned communication systems such as radio;
- Increased government surveillance of Americans' financial records and activities;
- Domesticating the CIA to watch American citizens;
- Government wide sharing of information and centralization of databases containing information about American citizens.
These totalitarian police state measures are no different from Bush Administration policy where we are all suspects and further sends us down the road to Orwell's 1984.
After the passing of Military Commissions Act in 2006 and pledging of Conyers and Pelosi not persuing Impeachment we should all have flags raised. The Democrats are once again not representing their constituents. How many Americans are for Biometric Scanning and National ID cards?
The passing of H.R. 1 under the drape of a "Democratic Agenda" that goes against the flow of Bush Administration policy is complete spin. Complete B.S.
Welcome to the New World Order!
