This post is well worth reading. It shows clearly what sort of country the US is, the US of George W. Bush and the right-wing Republican fear and hate machine.
People frequently look back at history wonder how societies can lapse into fascist dictatorships. How to police states happen? Why do people go along? It seems strange to "modern" thinking. But read the above post and keep these questions in mind. It shows all to well how both ordinary people and authority figures will behave when, as they say, "orders must be obeyed at all times" and "your papers are not in order."
It's easy and comfortable. The dictatorship, the police state, is a warm, comfortable and natural place to people. It's freedom that's hard. It's freedom that scares them.
