Heath said:Vfr, Why do you hate the police? My family and relatives are working in Law Enforcement and US Military. They have a very hard job and the real ones that are abusing are the politicans.The police has to work and many times some law written up by a politican turns people angry and they mis-place the anger on the police and in turn the police have to fight and defend themselves while the politican stays home beside the fireplace with the wine, steak dinner and newspaper next to his dog having absoutely no clue and shuts his mind and emotions to the flood of angerous people and protesting people and thinks he is all powerful. Well one of these days the politican may suddenly find himself with no LEO or military protection. It happens in another countries. The another thing is that wheter it is a police state like you complain or a freedom democracy. ID is still required and needed for doucment and identification purposes. If you mis-spell or attempt to perjure yourself with the ID or paperwork when a real situation is going on. You will very well find yourself sitting in jail where it is nothing but a zoo. There are places where you can go fast like the race track. No need or no reason to break the law.
Reba said:I know about the Nazis and Jews. Can you please show me where in the national Patriot Act that it would allow similar persecution to anyone?
Ok, here's a link I would like to show you. Save my typin' and explainin'. That is what I am tryin' to explain about the "parallel" in between USA & Nazis.
Ten Key Dangers of The Patriot Act That Every American Should Know
http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chr..._the_us_patriot_act_the_nazi_enabling_act.htm
Nazis did that same thing to Jews in 1940's, but in a different way - because, durin' that time the Nazis do not have advanced technology just like we have today.
Again I ask, can you please show me the exact parts of the two acts to which you are referring? Please show me the parallel legislation.
For Nazis' : They house-searched, demanded the ID for their background ( Hitler felt that the Jews caused the war when he started it ie "terrorism"), removal the freedom of speech and the list goes on and on. The USA do the same as I've provided the link above to explain.
Please show me some proof of comparable orders.
So far, I have read opinions, not facts. I am not saying you are wrong. You might be right. But you have not presented any facts to support your opinion. Please show me the proof that convinced you, so I can decide for myself.
Heath said:Okay , I have read everything without bias , clouded judgement or anything like that.
This one explains much more clearly and does not make an attempt to hide anything at all. It says what it says.

or baloney. I don't want that. I want to show somethin' that I am AWARE of what the pen could stroke to gain the President's power ( dictatorship ). For example : Do you believe that everythin' what the President Bush says about the "terrorism" that occurred in Sept. 11, 2001 ? Or, was it covered up by tryin' to force people to give away their freedom by makin' new laws ? I've been watchin' how this country ( USA ) changes by readin' news online and what the President Bush is doin' with our Constitution. Our Constitution is gettin' weak and weak than before. It's goin' to lose its foundation for our country ( USA ).

Again, that is an editorial opinion. He makes some good points but this link does not show the actual comparision of the two acts.CyberRed said:...Americans Surrenderin' Liberties: Shades of German History

OK, so what is that reality? What are the "carbon copy" sections of the two acts?U.S.A. ''PATRIOT'' ACT / CARBON COPY OF ALOLPH HITLER'S ''ENABLING'' ACT
Radical, Left-Wing Nut Liberals Are Quick To Point Fingers At Bush & The Republican Party Accusing Them Of Advocating A Nazi Gestapo Police-State In America -- Yet It Is The Socialist, Communist, Cultural-Marxist Democrat Party That Overwhelming Endorsed Passage Of The So-Called "Patriot" Acts I & II ... Subsequently, There Is Only ONE Major Political Party In America, And They Are BOTH Anti-American Facists.
The bottom line is, in the name of safety and security, the American people, as did the people of Germany in the 1930's, are willingly surrendering their liberties.
AMERICANS SURRENDERING LIBERTIES: SHADES OF GERMAN HISTORY
By Pastor Chuck Baldwin
August 23, 2005
NewsWithViews.com
It appears that a strengthened U.S.A. Patriot Act will soon sail through Congress with little opposition or consternation on the part of the American people. The new Patriot Act is even more stringent than the original. In addition, many of the more egregious elements of the Patriot Act which were originally scheduled to sunset are made permanent in the latest version. And the vast majority of the American people do not seem to mind...
When told that the Patriot Act is practically a carbon copy of Hitler's Enabling Act, most Americans either yawn with indifference or retort with disbelief. They seem to be oblivious to reality.
Which powers of the Patriot Act, specifically, are "Gestapo-like"? Please state paragraph and section numbers....For others, the fact that they do not believe themselves to have yet been personally affected by the new Gestapo-like powers given to the executive branch by the Patriot Act gives them a sense of (false) peace.
Again, good points, but not proving the comparisons of the two acts.Another thing people need to think about is the definition of "wrongdoing." The argument that, "If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have anything to worry about" loses its legitimacy when "the powers that be" can alter what "wrong" is at will.
The Patriot Act so loosely defines "terrorism" that virtually anyone or anything could be considered "an act of terrorism" including speech! Plus, Bush lovers need to remember that Dubya will not be president forever. They need to think about the likes of Hillary Clinton or Janet Reno interpreting and enforcing the Patriot Act!
Just to be clear, you do realize that the "pfaw" organization is the Norman Lear left-wing group?CyberRed said:There's another links to explain as well :

CyberRed said:Reba have asked me where I stated about the "parallel" - both of Nazis' "Enablin' Act" and USA's "Patriot Act". I don't find anythin' in your link that I was tryin' to explain.
I know for one thing - if, I post somethin' that I believe will happen... somethin' that will go out of porportion or whateva the pic shows, they will call meor baloney.
or baloney. I respect your opinions. I just request that you back up your opinions with facts. That is, upon which facts are your opinions based?That is one big difference between Hitler's Germany and our country. The Nazi party had 100% control of the media in Germany. In the US now, we have many sources of information. We can double check what we read in the mainstream press or what we see on network TV. We can read blogs, get cable and satellite news, etc. That is a major difference....I've been watchin' how this country (USA) changes by readin' news online and what the President Bush is doin' with our Constitution. ...

Not always.webexplorer said:The Republicans always vote for the Republican votes. ...
...Five Republicans voted against the reauthorization: Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, John Sununu of New Hampshire, Craig and Frist. Two Democrats voted to extend the provisions: Sens. Tim Johnson of South Dakota and Ben Nelson of Nebraska.
