We should all know by now that the land of the free is in fact the exact opposite. I apologise if I offend any Americans here, but this has to be said. The American government runs the country according to the lore preached in Orwell's 1984. The implementation of the patriot act stripped away some of the US' remaining civil rights. The constitution has become meaningless.
Bush is turning the country of America, a country that was set up with the noblest of intentions into a nation that likes to impose its own beliefs on the rest of the world with no regard for the beliefs of others, deeming those that think differently to be “evil”. For a country as diverse as America, it is generally very distrusting of different cultures.
The fact that a 14 year old girl, and in another instance an elderly gentleman, and in another instance a cookie baking group, were questioned by the Secret Service, just proves that the USA is not only over paranoid, but intent on ruling with an iron first. Anyone that would question the leader is automatically a traitor. His actions must not be questioned, he has been put in power by God.
When the hell will the world (including the fine, upstanding, innocent civilians of America) realise what is happening to one of the largest nations in the world and do something about it before we're ALL in far too much trouble to get out of!?
