Is this a free country or a police state?

[kelvin070]

I quoted the part I could quote from a post about Obama's regime turning this into a police state. Read your own posts?[/QUOTE
Regardless, the Police State thingy was way back early during Bush's era.

I'll bite at this. Why do you think that the US is a Police State? I honestly see us as a Free Country because of the many freedoms that we do have. We don't have to worry about being put in jail unless we actually do something wrong and then we are given FREE Legal Council if we can't afford it. Things went downhill since 911 and you can't blame us for taking precautions. Even with doing that the damn terrorists still manage to slip through the cracks every now and then. With the size of our population it's to be expected because we are not a Police State.

Why are you so Down about the US? Jealous perhaps? Do you want to come visit and see for yourself before you make your judgments? We actually let your type in here which is probably one of our biggest mistakes!

This is just a topic for debate and I can pick on any topic. I do not believe that US is a free country like many other americans. Like to ask you the same question - visit us and see for yourself.

Well if it's good enough for us then life is good. And sorry I won't take you up on that offer as I might be imprisoned. There's no talking rationally to someone who is irrational and not very open minded.

It's ok that they don't speak English. We print most Government forms in Spanish too.

And millions of them are illegal immigrants.

If you want to read the horror story surrounding the Anthrax attack "person of interest", Dr Hatfield and how his life was ruined by the FBI see the Atlantic Magazine article: The Wrong Man which might provide an example of when security becomes more important than individual rights.

In the fall of 2001, a nation reeling from the horror of 9/11 was rocked by a series of deadly anthrax attacks. As the pressure to find a culprit mounted, the FBI, abetted by the media, found one. The wrong one. This is the story of how federal authorities blew the biggest anti-terror investigation of the past decade—and nearly destroyed an innocent man. Here, for the first time, the falsely accused, Dr. Steven J. Hatfill, speaks out about his ordeal.
