So, to secure our freedoms they need to destroy our freedoms.
<sarcasm> Since this would destroy the Constitutional guarantee of privacy of my person and possessions from unreasonable search and seizure, why doesn't the FBI just have an old fashion Constitution burning and do the job right? </sarcasm>
I am old enough to remember Estes Kefauver and his anti-Mafia congressional activities. He got laws passed against organized crime (Mafia) but when it became apparent that the Mafia could hire better defense lawyers than the state's prosecutors, Congress passed the RICO Act, with the promise that it would ONLY be used against the Mafia. The RICO Act gives the prosecutors power to take the accused's financial assets BEFORE they are convicted of any crimes in order to make it difficult for them to purchase high-powered, expensive defense attorneys able to defeat prosecutors that try to convict criminals. RICO uses the old English law principal of "Guilty Property". It's a lot easier to defeat public defenders. Since RICO was passed it evolved into a method of funding used by police agencies all around the country. Each year over 10,000 people have the property stolen by police and never get it returned. This even applies to folks whose homes were raided by mistake. In several cases home owners hearing their front doors being broken down tried defending themselves and their property against what they thought were home invasion robberies, only to be gunned down by men with heavy weapons wearing black masks and shouting incoherently. It is also obvious that in several instances RICCO was used as a political weapon. http://www.independent.org/publicati...icle.asp?a=215 Even if you raid the wrong house the "Perp Walk" leaves the impression that the person in handcuffs are guilty of "something" or the police wouldn't have arrested them."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”
– John F. Kennedy, February 26, 1962.

William Charles "Bill" Ayers (born December 26, 1944) is an American elementary education theorist and a former leader in the movement that opposed U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. He is known for his 1960s activism as well as his current work ineducation reform, curriculum, and instruction. In 1969 he co-founded the Weather Underground, a self-described communistrevolutionary group that conducted a campaign of bombingpublic buildings during the 1960s and 1970s, in response to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.

Ayers participated in the bombings of New York City Police Department headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972, as he noted in his 2001 book, Fugitive Days."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

I plan to vote anyway, but not for either a Dem or a Rep. A pox on both their greedy houses."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”
